You can feel the excitement starting to build as the pages slip from the calendar and the Salmonfly hatch draws near. While a few early vanguards have shown themselves in the past week, the main event is still a few sunny days away. While the Fly Czar did his Mother's Day duties this weekend, he still has his sources on the river and filed an update on the Big Bugs.
We have a vintage Simms Ambidextrous Sling Pack for the best entry in this month's Vintage Fly Challenge...
Fisher headed back to the Deschutes, and his father tagged along to make sure he was doing it right... I can't put my finger on it, but Dad reminds me of someone. Someone famous...
Salmonflies and fast cars, it's a tradition...and baby ducks. Everyone loves baby ducks.
The Royal Treatment Crew divided up the territory and hit the water this past weekend to give you a full look at the Salmonfly action... Fisher headed to Hawaii where no Salmonflies took flight, but he checked out the grass skirt action anyway. Meanwhile, Bryan was hidden away in the Sierras out of cellphone range so his report was garbled, and poor Randy thought we said Salmon and headed to the Willamette. Thus, it was left to Josh, Jennifer, and Joel to seek out the Big Bugs on the Deschutes...this is their story.
