Season of the Red-Side

Early season (late Sept – Novemeber) is all about the chrome, but now as winter sets in.  This year especially with mother nature giving us plenty of snow and cold so far, the red-strips are making a strong appearance.   Big bucks with single and double strips are starting to show up in our catches.  Yesterday in the snow this big buck gave us his best, and his rosy checks just plain stood out.

Winter steelhead fishing is truly in full effect and plenty of fish around for a great day.  Check out the fishing reports at hawkinsflyfishing.com as we play through out the winter.  Give me a call or shoot me an email if your interested in a full or half day.

On the Hunt for Patagonia Beer

Patagonia celebrating it’s 40 Anniversary teamed up with New Belgium Brewery (Fat Tire) and created a beer I think I need to try and type up a review.  Stay tuned for more as I hunt this holiday season for this tasty brew.  Click here to go to Patagonia’s site to learn more.

Fall Run – Trailer

Very cool video from the Pacific Northwest.  Todd Moen does his usual amazing working with the camera.

 

Feelings we all share.

I have two favorite quotes from this film

  1. “It’s really up to the Salmon” – when fishing we try to come up with all these theories of how to catch more fish.  When we really get down to the basics of our theories it really does come down to the fish.  They control so much of our theories.
  2. “it’s like believing in God” – to be an Atlantic Salmon chaser or steelhead chaser you have to have belief, it has to be so strong that it just keeps pulling you back to the river over and over again.  Believing that your going to actually catch a fish, especially on a swung fly.

Watch this clip and look for these two quotes.  Great film with some unbelievable video work.  Love the helicopter effect that they pulled off.  Great job on this clip, really shows how fishing is universal.  Doesn’t matter where you are in the world.
