An Umpqua River Report Of Sorts
Well, the river was blown but there was some fly fishing to be had in some big eddys.
Here's my good buddy working for winter steel
reported to have been making their way upstream:

Here's what it looked like over the bow of his 21 foot sled at speed:

All in all we had a lot of fun and since it was our first time on blown out,
brown water, we learned a lot about navigation and things to do to keep safe.
Bonus pic of some wild life and wild sky:

Hopefully the river will start behaving soon so we can hit it again under
somewhat better conditions and have some pics of steel to show.
Cheers,
