Jonesing For Trout Season! You don't have to with the Rogue River Holy Water!

I love standing knee deep in the middle of the a winter swept river swinging huge flies, but all the dredging it takes to get winter steel makes me day dream about warmer days and more delicate presentations. Luckily,  I don't have to wait on the Rogue River! The Holy Water, as its called, is open to flyfishing year around. It also houses some of the largest Trout in Southwestern Oregon. These fish came from the Cole River Hatchery, but have had many years of wild spawning making them act like wild fish. They readily come to a well presented fly. Many say that the best time of year is late April to May, when the salmon flies come off, but I like to fish them this time of year when their is hardly any pressure. As the spring flows warm you can swing soft hackles or dead drift nymphs with success. So if cabin fever has you beat, get out! The Holy Water will welcome you!

Another Great Rod From LTS

When a certain rod matches you its pure Magic! That is what I am finding with the LTS rods. I'm not sure what they are made out of, but they are nothing short of amazing in my book. Donna, from www.fishon-sports.com let me play with yet another LTS....The Most striking of all them...the 1309-4 Across! Check out my review below!

High Flow

The rain has come, when it does most fly fishermen turn to their nymph rigs. You don't have to if you change your Spey setup.  This is the set up that has worked well for me. Hope it helps!

Winter Seam Fishing, Rogue River Style!

The Rogue is a river full of slots and buckets. Every one of these fish holding spots has a seam leading into or out of it. Over the years I have found that a ton of Spey Fishermen have a hard time catching fish in the winter. Heck, around here people will tell you that you can't catch a winter fish on the swing--but that's not the case. Sure winters can be harder to catch then their summer brothers, but if you get your flies to them they will bite! Getting your fly to them is a tall order though, so I put together a short segment to show you all what I do to fish more efficiently in the swollen winter waters...I hope this helps...

Wanna Learn how to Spey Cast? Or learn how to present your fly in the swing? Come out!

If you are new to the sport or have been at it for a while come to Tou Velle Park on April 26th, of this year! Big Stick Forum will be putting on a clinic for ALL Spey casters! Stay tuned more presenters will be announced. Go here Big Stick Casting Clinic to keep up with whats going on.
