The boat was fixed and on Sunday I found myself on the water, alone for a change. I put in at Deerhorn on the lower Mckenzie and floated to Hendricks Bridge. The water level has come down from what it has but is still high. The fish were eating Possie Buggers and [...]

Wooden drift boat repair: fixing a gouge
Posted in Uncategorized on June 24, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Friday started out well and finished well . . . it could have been much worse. Dapper Dan and I floated the town run Willamette in search of steelhead. The water has been fairly high so I was not on guard as we floated the rapid beneath the I-5 Bridge. [...]
Custom Shelf Project Completed

I finally finished putting a shelf into what had previously been a useless triangular shaped brown shag carpeted monstrosity capped with an unfinished half round in one of the kids’ walls. Shelly had enough of the mess and wanted Shea to have additional storage space. The only problem was that this particular space [...]

Saturday, we drove around looking at rural properties. I saw some vultures striking an impressive pose but couldn’t get a really good shot. They were standing on the ground wings outstretched–I’ve never seen that before. Like I said I couldn’t get a good angle on the shot. This is what I got:

The lower Mckenzie has been taking a pounding with the high water of the last couple months and Sunday was no exception. Keith and I met up mid-day for a nice long float. The day started . . . well, not that well. I was busy rigging a brand new leader [...]

On Saturday morning I got up for a really quick fish beneath Leaburg dam and ran the the Mckenzie from Leaburg dam to Greenwood. My target was the steelhead that are appearing in the river in ever increasing numbers. Crossing the dam that morning quickened my pulse a little–the river [...]
Weekend Mckenzie Flyfishing
Posted in Fishing, Fly Fishing, Outdoors, Trout on June 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
On Sunday, I fished from Bellinger to Armitage on the Mckenzie with worker’s compensation lawyer wunderkind Keith Semple. The fishing was solid if unspectacular. Early action was unimpressive but that had more to do with me dragging a huge MOAL Leech around for summer steelhead Quixote-like than with the trout’s willingness to bite.
We found fish [...]
