Now that water levels have settled down and our weather pattern of blue sky and beaming sun is upon us, what tactics will improve your catch. Early in the day fish will come to the surface with dry flies. Lower light conditions mean the fish are less wary. Cooler temperatures allow for more insect availability in the 7am-11am zone. Good patterns for this early morning session are Pale Morning Dun...

We've got a few copies of John Gierach's latest book, Fool's Paradise down at the shop. Stop by and pick one up if you're a Gierach fan. We asked him a few questions while he was in Eugene back in May on his book tour. Gierach on fishing writers burning spots: Ed Engle has a saying, he won’t name a river he can roll cast across, and he can roll cast a hell of a long way. I tend to...

Michael Young, and the American League weren't about to squander yet another scoring chance, and they didn't. Young's sacrifice fly drove in Justin Morneau, who slid just underneath the tag, lengthening the AL's dominance over the National League with a 4-3 victory in such a wild game.

Here is a series of photos from a guided fly fishing trip last weekend on the upper McKenzie River, Paradise Campground to Finn Rock. Wild redside rainbow trout were all over the place (plus some "trophy" whitefish) in the early morning, but the bite tapered off in the afternoon. We fished the standard hopper dropper, a half-down golden stone dry with a size 12 possie bugger trailing about 24...

Ty is recovering from a recent shoulder surgery and spends his days floating the stillwater until he's recovered. But his sling didn't stop him from outcasting and outfishing me one-handed, which was pretty embarrassing. Blazing sun and little wind concentrated fish in the channels, but we...

If you've been thinking that there are just too many messages coming at you from every direction... and you should just jump on a plane to get away from it all... think again. Assuming that your airline hasn't just laid off the flight crew, here are a few things you can expect: According to the Wall Street Journal, five different airlines will be selling advertising on your boarding pass,...

Caddis Fly customer Tim Finlayson had a hell of a day on the Row River last week. After a slow day fishing the North Fork of the Middle Fork Willamette River, Finlayson headed back to Cottage Grove and fished in the campground area below the dam on the Row River. From Finlayson's email: I caught 4 decent cuts in about 20 minutes. I saw a good fish surface but couldn't hook in, looked like a big...

Right this second sides are arguing before a three judge panel in downtown Portland on whether or not a failed signature gathering attempt by out-of-state anti-gay groups will fly or not. They lost the first round and are on their appeal. Just Out is busy at the courthouse live blogging. ...
