Knut Syrstad Cancer Fundraiser

Phase two of donations to Knut are underway. 

Knut Syrstad is a truly inspirational speycasting figure who has endured a long fight against testicular cancer. Knut is a gifted speycaster and fly fisher, but much more importantly, he's a father, a son, a husband and a brother that desperately needs our help to raise funds for life-saving medical treatment.

If you'd like to support the fight you can do so here.

Other than a bit of wind, one of the greatest wild rainbow trout fisheries in the world.

A Drift Inside - Göran Andersson on the Deschutes

Recently, the crew from Leland Fly Fishing Outfitters joined Göran Andersson (pronounced Yo-Rawn) of LOOP for a float trip down Oregon's Deschutes River. Andersson invented underhand casting, also called Scandinavian casting, in the middle of the last century, and has been perfecting the techniques and associated gear ever since. His ability fo fish with little to no back cast space, in addition to his near-superhuman oneness with the fly, have earned him the nickname "Magic Man"

Greetings from Jurassic Lake

El Paskador reports from way south of the border.

Hey Brian,

Jeff was struggling a bit one day, so I busted out my extra "Reel
Pure" hat for him. Took just one cast to change his luck from bad to
really bad.. Just wanted to share the exciting news, and feel free to
pass this along to the Chum Nation. Perhaps you could charge a bit
extra for the hats now. I know I'll be giving them to my BEST fishing
companions from now on.

Dearest Brian,

Shortly after the "Rock" incident a local Shaman passed by and for 13
pesos and 7 1/2 beers we got him to Bless the hat. Within minutes of
him finishing his last beer (It seems Shamans' prefer Shot-gunning
them) the hat became almost magical. Fish On, and on and on and
on!!! And did I mention this was Jurassic Lake? And did I mention
this rainbow was about average in size? Did I mention we landed a few
around 20? You'd hate it........

Yeah I hate it alright...
