Bass Gone Wild

Grande Ronde Bull Trout

Buzz Holmstrom

"Some people have said I conquered the Colorado, I don't say so. It has never been conquered and never will I think. Anyone it allows to go through its canyons and see its wonders should feel thankful and privileged." Buzz Holmstrom

Buzz Holmstrom was a boatman that loved rivers. You can read more about his journeys in "The Doing of the Thing: The Brief, Brilliant Whitewater Career of Buzz Holmstrom"

Anyone that says they have conquered a river or claim a river as "My River" does not understand rivers.

Steelhead on a Fly, That You Tie

Rickie landed this beautiful wild hen, his first Steelhead on a fly that he tied, last cast of the day.

Grande Ronde

WILD!

How to hang a hatchery Steelhead.

How Big was that Fish?

Convincing an angler how big the fish was. And it got away!

Escaping the Rat Race

It's not always about catching Steelhead. It's about getting away from the rat race, enjoying the beauty that surrounds us, and feeling the elements that beat down on us. Reminding us that we are only human. I feel so luck to get on the river as much as I do and share that experience with other anglers, my friends, and family.
