Deschutes Steelhead

It is not too early to start making plans for a fall steelhead on the Deschutes river. Swinging flies for these aggressive fish will take your breath away. If you have never fished this river I would encourage you to book a trip with Rob Crandall now! Looks like another fantastic year ahead, so give Rob a call at www.watertimeoutfitters.com

We can help you order the right spey rod from Anderson Custom Rods and the correct reel from Joe Saracione. Don't wait, fall will be here before you know it!

Monic Fly Line

Water Time Outfitters teamed up with Monic Fly Lines to bring you an exclusive new line developed by Rob Crandall especially for small stream and river steelhead fishing!

For many years Rob would cut the end taper off a double taper 8 or 9 weight line to get it to perform correctly with an indicator and weighted fly rig so common on many NW small streams. Monic has fixed that problem by creating an extreme front taper on the double taper line. This helps smoothly transition the energy from the body of your fly line to the leader.


The best part is the new line is not only a floating line in the correct taper but CLEAR! That’s right it is clear and nearly invisible to fish. We have found that this line increases our catch when water conditions are low and clear. If you have spooky fish in clear water, this is the line you need!

Fly Boxes

It is dry fly time on the rivers, and chironomid time on the lakes. Do you have what it takes? Take a look at these two fly boxes from my good friends and fishing partners Bill and Wendy. Makes you want to go home and start all over again, doesn't it? Send me a favorite photo of your favorite fly box. Watch for the "Guides Pick", coming soon to WolfPk Outdoors. Fly boxes with correct flies and sizes to make your next trip more successful.

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!

Clackamas River Trips

Rob Crandall guided a couple of ladies on the Clackamas River this past Saturday. The following note and photos say it all. It is not too late to book a guided trip with Rob.

Saturday was such a great day! I know they can't all be that way, but
it was fun, a great lunch, and I am so happy to learn that I can Spey
cast!! Terry even called me the "next steelhead queen" must have
been a moment of weakness on her part. Thanks Rob, I really enjoy
having you take us down the river, your style is very comfortable, and
I learn so much! Marcia
