New Nets and Rods in My Inventory.
It’s been a very busy last couple of months in my shop. In addition to attending The Fly Fishing Show in Denver 2 weeks ago, I just completed two new bamboo trout nets and a new 8′ 0″ 5 wt Spring Creek Series Bamboo Fly Rod that will all go into my inventory. I always try to keep a handful of rods/nets available for immediate purchase. I’ll have these items on display at my booth at the upcoming Fly Fishing Show in Pleasanton, California in 2 weeks. Hope to see you there.

Our friends, Hillary and Keith, came by my shop this week for a visit. Hillary was picking up her new bamboo trout net that I just finished for her. Looks like a very happy angler, but she might need to wait for some better weather to try out her net.

With all the fishy activity in the river, the rainbows also get active. Earlier this week, I got out on the upper portion of the river with my good friend and local Sisters resident, John, for a few hours of afternoon fishing.
The river is pretty small in these upper stretches, and the fish tend to be a little smaller than in the lower sections of the river. But, I took out my 7′ 0″ 4 wt bamboo rod, which worked great to high-stick some nymphs through the shallow riffles. The resident native rainbows were very happy to take my #10 October Caddis Pupa and my #20 Rainbow Warrior. Here is a nice little fish from our day.
