Hoody Stickers

I had some stickers made to honor our friend Hoody — for anyone in the guide community or anyone who knew him and would like one.

I’ll be dropping some off at the fly shop and will have them with me on the water, so if we cross paths, just ask.

If you want one, shoot me a message and I’ll make sure you get it. Let’s keep his memory alive out on the river.

If you knew Hoody, you knew the river was his home and his clients were like family. He had a way of lighting up a drift boat with his laugh, finding the silver lining even on the toughest days, and always putting others before himself. Didn’t matter if he was chasing steelhead, teaching someone their first spey cast, or just sitting on the tailgate swapping stories, Hoody made every moment count.

We’ve lost more than just a great fisherman — we’ve lost a piece of our fishing community. But I know Hoody’s spirit will always be with us: in the bend of a rod, in the glow of a sunrise on the river, and in the laughter of friends gathered around a campfire after a long day on the water.

Tight lines, my friend. You’ll be missed more than words can say and you can bet your ass I’m skating one up on your fly dude!

🎣 The Drift That Gets Bit

Steelhead can be moody. One day they’ll crush a swung fly, the next they’re hunkered down in a slow green slot, barely moving.
That’s when we break out one of our favorite tools — float fishing.

Suspending a jig, bead, or bait just above the rocks keeps it drifting naturally and right in a steelhead’s face. The best part? When that float buries, it’s as electric as any grab on the swing.

💡 We just dropped a full guide on our site — covering where, when, and how we run floats for chrome. If you’ve never tried it… now’s the time.

📆 Booking prime winter and spring dates now — let’s go get you on a float drop you’ll never forget.

Skating Flies for Steelhead – Pure Magic on Top!

Whether it’s a glassy tailout at dawn or a choppy riffle at sunset, a well-swung muddler or foam skater can trigger that aggressive grab!

It’s not just fishing… it’s steelheading with style.

🐟 Big Bows = Big Meals. Here’s how we fool them on the Lower Sac…

While most anglers swing soft hackles for the grab, the alpha rainbows are hunting MEAT. We target them with swung sculpin patterns on light trout spey rods—broadside presentations that mimic a disoriented baitfish.

The key? Deep, slow swings with a downstream pause. That’s when the biggest fish in the bucket crush it. The grab isn’t subtle—it’s a full-on head shake and freight-train pull.

This isn’t numbers fishing. It’s hunting for one giant rainbow that eats like a steelhead. Ready to feel the difference?

🌲💦 One of the greatest gifts steelhead give us isn’t just the grab—it’s the places they take us.

From the moss-draped canyons of the Trinity, to the fog-kissed estuaries of the Smith and Eel, chasing these wild fish means immersing yourself in the raw, untamed beauty of Northern California.

Every bend in the river is a new frame of solitude. Every swing brings connection—not just to the fish, but to the land.

Where has steelhead brought you lately?

There’s something magical about winter mornings on coastal rivers. The air is crisp, the fog drifts low over the water, and the sound of a Spey cast cutting through the silence feels like poetry in motion.

These rivers, shaped by rain and time, hold a beauty that’s hard to put into words. They’re wild, untamed, and humbling—a perfect backdrop for the hunt for winter steelhead. Every cast is a connection to the rhythm of the river, every swing full of hope and anticipation.

Even when the fish elude us, the experience never disappoints. It’s about more than the catch—it’s about the places these rivers take us, both on the map and within ourselves.

Here’s to the wild rivers and the steelhead that call them home. 🌊🎣

🎣✨ The Poetry of the Swing ✨🎣

There’s a certain magic in the art of Spey casting. It’s not just about fishing—it’s a dance with the river, a conversation with the current, and a moment of harmony with the line.

Every cast is a chance to refine, to connect, and to honor a tradition rooted in patience and grace. It’s about reading the water, feeling the rhythm, and letting the fly present itself as naturally as the driftwood flows downstream.

For those who know, Spey casting is more than a technique; it’s an art form. For those yet to try, it’s a journey waiting to be discovered. 🌊🎣

🎣 Winter Steelhead Fly Tying Tips 🎣

Winter steelhead season is here, and there’s no better time to sit at the vise and craft flies that grab the attention of these elusive fish. Whether you’re tying proven patterns or experimenting with your own designs, here are a few tips to make your flies irresistible this winter:

1️⃣ Bold Colors: Winter waters can be cold and murky. Flies in bright pinks, oranges, chartreuse, or black/purple combos stand out in the flow.

2️⃣ Add Movement: Materials like marabou, rabbit strips, and UV flash create natural movement in the current, mimicking prey and triggering strikes.

3️⃣ Size Matters: Adjust fly size based on water conditions. High water calls for larger, bulkier flies, while low, clear water may require smaller, more subtle patterns.

4️⃣ Weights & Sink Tips: Incorporate weighted eyes or coneheads to ensure your fly reaches the strike zone quickly in fast, cold winter flows.

5️⃣ Proven Patterns: Don’t forget classics like the Intruder, Egg Sucking Leech, and Popsicle. They’ve stood the test of time for a reason!

What are your go-to winter steelhead patterns? Let us know in the comments! 🐟

🎣 Crafting Custom Steelhead Flies: Your Edge on the Water 🎨

Whether it’s the lifelike movement of hackle or the subtle flash of tinsel, every detail works together to entice even the wariest steelhead.
