Being in the right place at the right time is always crucial to success. Being on the water during those iffy times between storms and high water events will pay off if you persevere.Today was one of those days. We had a small weather window today as the river was starting to rise and will blow sky high by tomorrow. We had a great time fishing and I had the distinct pleasure of seeing my good friend Tony Wratney land this remarkable North Umpqua fish. Few know the river like Tony and finding,hooking(and then landing) a fish like this is no easy feat. Tony skillfully fought this fish to hand in short order and he swam away strong.Just an incredible creature and we are so blessed to run into them every so often.

A nice video by a Bend brother,Travis Lucas, talking about why we do what we do.  Enjoy, and get out there and get number 13!

The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it. For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the rivers (Psalm 24:1-2).

Glad I know who's really in charge around here........
