Is that a king salmon? Looks like about a 12-15 pounder. Nice catch.

Steelhead, he made me chase him about 30 yards downstream. He almost peeled all my line off of my reel!

, yeah, I was standing in the river so we could snap a quick picture and put him back in the water. My friend with the camera had no waders, so he was standing on the shore, plus he is kinda tall.

that's a beautiful fish...I'm assuming you were fly fishing?

Hey next time you guys go, I'll go!

Nice catch.

Any good fishing on the Deschutes this time of year?

I grew up in Eugene. I used to do a lot of fly fishing for summer steelhead on the North Umpqua. Gorgeous river. I Live in Medford now. I really need to get up the Rogue pretty soon. You're giving me the fishing bug.

Nope, spinner for me. I'd like to get in to fly fishing, but a decent setup would break my budget right now.

There's always good fishing on the Deschutes I haven't really been keeping up on the runs lately, but usually early and late summer are pretty good runs I think.

I'll try to let you know, my buddy moved to SE Portland last year so we are looking for good spots to fish between here and there. Know of any?

Wow, nice. The fish I catch here can pass for sardines, heh.

It's not that bad. You can get a decent rod, reel, and line for less than $100. Course you could also spend $300 on a rod alone if you wanted. But I've been fishing with the same 7 weight $30 rod, $30 reel, and $30 floating line for about 5 years. Ideally, I'd have a 5 or 6 weight for trout and an 8 or 9 for steelhead, but the 7 is a good compromise for both if you are on a budget.

It's the flies that can get expensive and kill your budget. But you probably don't lose as many flies as you do spinners. I've tied a few of my own but I suck at it and they take me forever so i buy most of mine.

Well, I've got a birthday coming up in August. Maybe someone will make a contribution to the cause
Did you take lessons or did someone you know teach you?
