This summer has been pretty great. The shop’s been busy, the US killed it at the 2016 Rio Olympics, our Home Waters softball team won their summer league and Sunday fishing has been on the regular. Throughout the summer we’ve floated the McKenzie and Willamette multiple times, and there’s been a few trips down to […]
My First Trout Trip of 2016 I’d like to start with a short introduction about myself. I’ve been fishing my whole life and have always wanted to learn about fly fishing. Then one day about three years ago, I woke up and decided that was the day I was going to see what this fly […]
On Saturday night, another buddy of mine and I decided to head west super early the next day. Dawn patrol probably isn’t most people’s idea of a relaxing day-off (since there’s no sleeping late), but when winter steelheading is involved, things are different. We knew it was going to rain and rain it did. In […]
Keeping with my winter steelheading goal to explore new rivers and spots, a friend and I set out on Sunday to do just that. We talked the night before about where to go, but didn’t make a firm decision. So I made sure both my spey and switch rods were ready to roll. Pre-dawn, we […]
This year my winter steelheading goal was to explore rivers I had never fished and spots I had only been to a couple times. And Sunday was no exception. My early morning drive got me thinking about my game plan. The radar reports from the night before informed me I had at least 3 or […]
Hey all! I thought it would be a good idea to check-in and highlight a few things that have been happening here at Home Waters. First off, we’re smack in the middle of winter steelhead season. Home Waters is fully stocked on flies and gear to keep you fishing and doing so comfortably. Worth mentioning […]
This past weekend we set our sights for the Gold. Gold Lake that is. Neither of us had been, it’s fly fishing only, no motors allowed and just up Highway 58. Perfect. We arrived just before 6pm on Saturday, grabbed a great site on the lake, set up camp and enjoyed our traditional pre-made burritos […]
On Sunday we decided to do a “later day” float on the McKenzie River. We left the boat ramp around 2:30pm with the intent of fishing until sunset which this time of year, still means a good 6 hours+ float. Got to love those long Oregon days this time of year! It was a pretty […]
On Sunday we fished around Oakridge. It was a beautiful, warm and sunny day, with a few scattered clouds. Dry flies were on the menu all day. Olive Elk Hair Caddis, Green Elk Hair Caddis and March Brown Cripple, in that order, were the most productive. Not much of a hatch at all, really. We […]
Well, we were finally able to get out of town and spend a couple nights on the Metolius River. I closed the shop a couple hours early on Saturday, and 2 hours and 10 minutes later, I was fishing the Dolly Hole. One of the many reasons Eugene is home. Saw one fish rise but […]
