    I take it that you don't much care for me. Why don't you just ignore what I write and go on to other things.. Things would be better for both of us.

    Perhaps they can fix your reel up like new.

    Steve is thinking early to mid December until the next batch of fish are in... so now we hope for normal rain and water levels... always a crap shoot from now through next April. I'll keep you posted.

    Hi Jesse,
    I have an inquiry into Steve Buckner about a guided spey trip (and lessons which I desperately need). I don't recall in our conversations if you spey fish? Let me know if you would be interested in splitting the trip. I' pretty sure he is only guiding the Cowlitz.
    Take care,
    Bill

    You should have joined us. The weather, scenery and company was excellent. The fishing was pretty damn good too.

    Thanks for the kind words. I'm planning a weekend float down the Deschutes in Oregon soon, you in?

    Hi Jesse,

    How'd you do the rest of Saturday? I'll be headed back down there next Sunday/Monday. Was fun to fish with you!

    Hey Jesse,

    Winter's my favorite time there. That's when all the big fish come out to play and you have the water pretty much to yourself. Total nymph / streamer game. Think stones, green caddis larva, worms and mix it up from there. Olive is usually best for me as far as streamer rigs go, with a sink tip, fairly heavy. I've found that a simple slow swing is best during the winter. If you find some nervous water (water with a chop) hit that hard. Otherwise look for the slow deep slots and don't ignore the deeper "frog" water.

    The fish are going to be lethargic and they're looking for slower water to hang out in when not feeding. When they do feed they'll move into a little faster stuff but not to fast, almost a steelhead type of flow. If the river bottom is sandy, move on. Because they are lethargic and the waters cold it'll take them longer to recover so please land them quickly.

    Hope that helps

    Patrick
