Glad to be Back on the Water

After 5 days of the Sportsman Show it was nice to be back on the water today.  After an afternoon spey casting lesson working the in's and out's of the double spey, single spey, c-cast, snap-t and others Wes had about 30 minutes left to focus on his fishing.  The water temperature was 41-1/2 degrees with the water level hovering at 13' (at the Estacada gauge).  Finally after a tough battle this beauty was landed.  We were almost locked in at the park because this hard fighting wild fish did'nt want to give up!  Rob Crandall.    www.watertimeoutfitters.com  Steelhead Fly Fishing: The Tug is the Drug!

Clackamas 1/2 Day Special Winter Steelhead trips

Today, a first for Royce- a winter steelhead on the fly rod!  We offer 1/2 day float trips on the Clackamas River custom tailered to what you want to do.  Today Royce wanted to learn to spey cast and try a few spots for steelhead.  We worked on spey casting most of the morning and fished our way to the boat ramp.

This dandy wild fish gave him a run for his money and at that Royce was only out $125 for a 4 hour trip.

Get some friends together and enjoy this before work special or afternoon on the water for only $100 per person.  $125 for a single.
