A Day on the Deschutes


Salmon flies on the Deschutes River are full swing now. Best bet for the first 2 weeks of June are fishing Warmsprings to Trout Creek areas. For top results on salmon fly dries fish under the trees and around foliage. Don't forget caddis and PMD's this time of year either.

If you are ready to book, contact Rob Crandall

Grindstone Lakes


Grindstone lakes are located in Central Oregon near Prineville. Fishing in a pontoon boat is a peaceful way to fish especially when you need to sneak up on fish feeding on #14 Poxyback Callibaetis!

Rodger Carbon http://www.carbonesflyfishing.com provides the meals and organizes the group and rotates the five lakes available for fishing. In a word, the fishing was phenomenal!

The highlight of the trip for me is fishing with my good friend and guide Rob Crandall. A special treat on this trip was also fishing with Wendy Way. Wendy just returned from a month in British Columbia and is "experienced" in fishing Chironomid patterns. He is a wealth of knowledge and a true pioneer in fly fishing.

Wendy will lend us a hand in developing a WolfPk Outdoors Stillwater fly box. According to Wendy - "Some people tie flies to catch fisherman, I ties flies to catch fish." I can personally attest to that!
