Making time for the river soothes our fly fishing souls

Fly fishing is one of the wonderful things in our mind where ever we go. Hold each step and memory close even when miles away from the water or ten feet under snow. The journey is bright in any place in any condition.When we are close to what we love it is close to us. The days on the water are special in many ways.Sharing them with close friends even better. Some video action of a day goofing around with the dog we love.

Catch and release steelhead fly fishing with friends and clients builds long term bonds on the river that last forever as memories we will never forget!

A beautiful 3 lb baby steelhead is still a bunch of fun to play and land on the 2013 Irideus spey rod. For California fly fishers this is a must have rod. It may soon become the only steelhead fly rod you fly fish.

The friendship that bring us together as steelhead fly fishers is a special bond. Sharing in the catch and release of wild fresh steelhead makes life rich with all good things. Irideus 2013 spey rods are on the fish early in the new year. Here is a nice real life video that shows off yet one more fine Irideus spey rod catch and release of a wild California steelhead. Enjoy! The flies of the day were Alevin streamers , Iridues Small fry Alevin flies,Mortal trout tube flies,Czech Nymph trail fly in the afternoon.

Fly fishing steelhead is a true passion that each person finds when in pursuit of these majestic fish for the first time. The best way to begin your steelhead fly fishing journey is with a few well-rounded selections of steelhead fly patterns. people may not think of a #14 Caddis fly pattern for steelhead but there is a time and place. Fresh searun coastal steelhead flies some days are replaced by large stoneflies and smaller articulated steelhead intruder flies. Other days it is streamer flies that we will turn to like wooly bugger flies tied up some and weighted to serve a niche on the steelhead fly menu. It is very important to plan ahead when visiting an area. A steelheader fishing Washington full-time may feel out of place on a small California coastal run using short indicator set ups with nymph trailer flies. One way to take the thinking out is to find Irideus steelhead flies. Most of the flies have now been public for about a year. Some of the Timothy Horner signature series fly patterns are fly fishing industry bests under the Irideus name. These custom flies have proven to success on all western fly water with special regard given to the Chico California area. These are some of the toughest rivers to be consistent on and trusting in your flies in Northern California is a must. Be willing to adjust your approach when steelhead fly fishing. Each specific river,stream and run will hAVE A NEW LESSON TO BE LEARNED AND A NEW APPROACH TO BE MASTERED.

Fly fishing dogs and the steelheading friends they become

A steelhead fly fishing Queensland healer that was found on the Feather river

Sometimes in life things can change in a heart beat. Some good and some bad, but we must be ready. One day before fly fishing the local run for steelhead we heard a salmon biologist ask, "is this your dog?"As they pulled off to do more work I yelled,"no but I think its going to be."This is the face that waited. No tags, no reports of a loss of this loving steelhead chasing boy. he has been adopted and after curing some badd butt from a diet of dead salmon he is sleeping in his own bed ready for the storm to end. He was named Stormy which fits him well. The calm before the storm made the company 1 more Queensland heeler rich. When something finds you........read between the lines and take care of it. Adopt a pet they have so much to give! Steelheading now has a new man on the steelhead spey fly fishing scene!

we are all heros in the eye of the steelhead fly fishing dog that loves us. Even when we lose the one fish that took the fly all day. Whoof!
