Retired, granddad, foodie, traveler, golfer, fly tier, fly fisher, pickleballer, skier... anything outdoors. Enjoying the Oregon life style.

Middle Deschutes River and it's bounty. A couple of fish that made it to the net, a velvet antlered buck and wild iris.
Red tagged Walt's Worm fly.
Little guy went for a worm... almost as big as he is.
Walt's Worm with chartreuse and orange tags.
Epic day in the river. Winter seems to be fading.
That's my boy!
From sizes 16 to 24. 🤞 they bring fish to the net.
Blue bird day at the river.
Couple of "net fillers" caught on soft hackle flies fished under a mini Chubby Chernobyl. The smaller bright colored trout was caught with a dry black stone fly.
Today's river shenanigans. The fly the trout (middle left and top right) took was a Quigley's Film Critic like the one pictured bottom right.
Foam fly copied from the YouTube channel, "DrewlooknFishy."
3rd Hole at Bend Golf Club. Par-3 139 yards from Blue Tees.
Chubby Chernobyls and GFI Hoppers.
Note: The craft store foam sheets were a little thinner than the 2mm foam I bought at a local fly shop. Will it make a difference??? First time trying detached body flies.
Recipe for the Thread Body Beatis Soft Hackle published in Inland Empire Fly Fishing Club's "Flies of the Northwest." Love working with Starling feathers.

Gunnison River at the North Fork Confluence. Inset, my father-in-law getting ready for hiking and fishing.
Staying near Delta, Colorado.
Our local bachelor has found his mate... love eagle watching.
The golf course is starting to wake up from it's winter slumber. Looking good 😎.
This happened today to my fishing buddy. But like all true anglers... it was about the next cast.
A buddy I got into the water after a long hiatus from fishing.
