The Umatilla River near my home town, holds a healthy run of Chinook Salmon.

Sometimes I get a chance to flyfish the Wallowa River.

My son-in-law, Forrest, enjoys a day on the ice on a lake in the Blue Mountains.

A steelhead fillet with onion, orange slices and parmesan cheese on its way to the oven.

A nice pair of native Rainbow trout taken from the Lostine River where I grew up and learned about fishing from my father nearly sixty years ago.

Forrest and his first steelhead landed on The Perfect River.  The rush was as big as his first bull elk.

I'm about to release a steelhead landed on a General Practioner in late September on the Grande Ronde River

My brother, Kenneth, shows off a steelhead buck he landed on the Wallowa river in our home county of the same name.
