OUTDOOR JOURNAL

Catching a Rockfish on a dry fly is one for the ages!

Once my fly was in the zone, I started slowly stripping my in line, and a fish hit it right away. I set the hook, but nothing was there. I let a bit more line out thinking the fish may still be following, and started slowly stripping in line again. This time the fish smacked it harder and I hooked into my first rockfish on a fly

having a pod of Orcas swim right next to the boat in Pacific City Oregon has to rank as my top wildlife sight ever.
