Join Mia Sheppard and Whitney Gould for 2 nights and 3 days of Steelhead Fishing

On the John Day River, November 14th-16th, 2009.

Our goal is to introduce you to practical applications for catching summer and winter Steelhead in a fun, friendly environment. We will share our knowledge of Steelhead fishing with you and build your confidence as an independent angler.

We stress confidence, enthusiasm, and fun in the outdoors.

We will teach you how to read the water, line management, what flies to use, knots to tie for catching Steelhead and how to safely release a wild fish. During the day we will work with you to improve your Spey casting techniques or teach you a new cast with a double handed rod. In the evening enjoy dinner, learn to tie flies for winter and summer Steelhead fishing, and make new friends to fish with in the future.
Lodging will be in a rustic cabin, on a private ranch with shared rooms, enjoying a 360 degree view of rolling wheat fields and an endless horizon. We will fish 6 miles of private water 2 days and float the 3rd day.
