Summit of Mt. Hood from Cutters Camp HQ.
Roadside pit stop, en route to some quality fishing.
Finally a perfect little rainbow was my first fish landed west of Tennessee.
The big bugs were out, couldn't have had much better luck catching the heat of the salmon fly hatch.
My bedside view for the duration of my 6 day trip into paradise.
Austin trying to track down a couple quick fish before the storms roll in.
The camp side run was a good one.
Another perfect rainbow willing to rise for a giant salmon fly pattern.
Beautiful sight headed into the lower Deschutes for a few days of camping with the Redington crew.
Getting a little spey casting lesson from Simon on a bluebird day.
Tight quarters for wading and casting.
The Crooked River winds around Smith Rock.
The result of hard work.
We weren't the only ones fishing that stretch of river.
Very fortunate to find so many big hungry browns.
Bend in the river just like the bend in the rod.
One last, late afternoon cast before hiking out yielded another quality brown trout on the dry.
Stopped by Timerline Lodge again for the last meal before heading back to the east coast.
