Water Levels Are Good! Get Out There Now!

Lately the water has been way too high at many of the area fisheries that people frequent. Luckily, as of late the water levels have been on the drop, and it is time to be out there. Many fisheries close for winter steelhead on the 31st, or deadlines change for some systems; so why wouldn't you want to rope into a native wild winter run steelhead before the water blows out again.

If steelhead is not your quarry, then go trout fishing on a river like the McKenzie. It has been pulling more and more into shape each day, and I would have been fishing it two days ago if I wasn't steelhead fishing at an area stream. The Mac goes off this next few weeks, and many people ignore this time out there.

Basically, this report is to let you know the water is in shape and it is more or less the best time to get out for native wild winter steelhead. It is also prime time to experience the McKenzie River's native wild redsides. Get out before it starts raining again, or before we have a time of no rain for a few weeks and water levels get too low (doubt that one).

It's Time to Get out & Go Fishing!




With all of the rain and nasty weather, many people must have a serious case of cabin fever. I know I do! With the past few days more or less free of significant precipitation, the rivers have been dropping like rocks. For this weekend, the McKenzie River for trout should be preforming well, and for steelhead you can check out something like the Wilson River or Upper Nestucca River. The levels are falling fast, and it is time to get out there.

Airflo Skagit Switch Review

Back in September we told you about Airflo’s new Skagit Switch Heads – a potential solution to the “nobody makes a modern spey line for my switch rod” problem.  Since the early version of the head that we got our hands on at IFTD, Airflo has gone through a couple more iterations.  Last month we [...]

Exclusive Video: Scoring the Biggest Muley Shed Ever

by Dave Hurteau

Earlier this week we posted the F&S exclusive story of the “Highest Scoring Muley Shed of All Time,” a massive matched set recently dropped by a now-famous Colorado Springs buck dubbed “Goliath” or “Double Beam.” A glance at the North American Shed Hunters Club record-setting rack leaves you wondering, “How do you score those things?”

The answer is, watch this video. F&S had a camera rolling as NASHC certified measurer Ron Newman put a tape on these incredible antlers.

Fly Pattern: The Japanese Hammer

I almost exclusively fish dry flies for trout?not because I?m a ?purist?.  I just love to see fish rise to a fly.  I don?t think there?s anything wrong with nymph fishing and I don?t look down on anyone who fishes nymphs.  It?s just not my style. I?ve been thinking a lot about the ?one fly? [...]

Roosterfish Season Just Around the Corner


With all the current rain and the forecast for a long, wet spring on the horizon; it?s hard not to look for an outlet. After sluggishly chucking the sink-tip and spey for a few thousand casts this past winter, why not look for the warmth and beauty of Mexico?s Baja Penninsula as way to free yourself from the Gore-tex trappings of the Pacific NW.

Join Kaufmann?s Staff/Guide, Captain Jad Donaldson, to run the beaches with him. Last year Jad spent from April 15 to June 12th, guiding this stimulating area and this will be the third-annual pilgrimage to what is generally referred to as ?Rooster Alley.?

All fish is done sight-fishing these exciting fish off the beaches with both feet on the ground. Accommodations and food are put on by Bill White?s ?El Pappagallo and Eco-Palapa.? This is the base camp used in Frank Smethurst?s video, ?Running Down the Man.? Baja Bill?s off-the-grid mentality and location at the Northern end of the Cabo Pulmo Marine Park, put you in the prime stretch of Baja for chasing these great sportsfish. His Margarita?s are legendary and are the just thing to ease your muscles and relax the eyes after a long day on the beach.

Fishing will begin, the week of May 21st and continue through June, maybe even early July. Combining the ability to fish both guided and unguided, and a reasonable airfare?this trip is a bargain in the world of destination angling.

Rates for 2011 are: $2400- 7N/6D guided fishing includes airport transfer, food, alcohol, board, and lodging

A la cart rates for 2011: $300/Day of guided fishing
$160/day non-guided- includes food, lodging and alcohol


Cabo Pulmo also offers world class scuba and snorkeling for those so inclined for other activities and we are happy to help set these up as well. Off-shore fishing is available and dependent upon current fishing and weather conditions.

If you are interested in booking a trip for Roosterfish on the Baja Penisula, call us at (503)-639-6400 or email us at travel@kman.com.
