Still-Water Fishing Crowley Lake
The art of catching big fish with small flies
Beginner to Advanced Anglers

Crowley Lake holds some of the most nutrient-rich water of the region making it the home for some of the fastest-growing and strongest trout in the area. A staple of the Crowley Lake trout’s diet is the chironomid, an aquatic insect called a “midge” that populates the lake by the millions. Utilizing different “midging” techniques, we will fish the lake from my bass-style boat. Still-water float-tube clinics are also available.

5 Hour Lake Trip Includes: Flies, Rod/Reel, Terminal Tackle and Beverages.

BOAT TRIP ONE OR TWO ANGLERS - $ 275.00

Steelhead Fishing In Southern Oregon’s Rogue River


October 2007

In the fall of 1995 I started my annual pilgrimage to explore legendary rivers of Southern Oregon and court a beautiful girl named Pamela who coincidentally resided in Grants Pass. I made Pamela my wife and promised the rivers that I would return every year in search of its elusive Steelhead. I fished under the wing of Steve Bonner, owner operator of Native Run Fly Shop and guide service. Steve is recognized as one of Oregon’s finest two handed caster (spey) and Steel header and creator of initiative indicator- less techniques and fly tiers.

This fall I will be guiding the Rogue River for the Native Run Shop and Guide service. We will be floating the river in my new 2004 Hyde drift Boat, that will comfortly fish one or two anglers. We primarily fish out of the boat but we like to pull off and comb the Runs by swinging and dead drifting flies. The wading is mostly easy but plenty of water to challenge advanced. Our target is the Steelhead, this turbo charger ocean running Trout from 2-10 pounds. We average 5-10 fish a day but have had days of twenty fish to hand by 10:00 AM., and days we get goose eggs get handed out to all.

The Octobers in Southern Oregon are spectacular; the fall colors are to best to be seen buy boat, the average temp in the 70’s and little or no rain.
Spawning King Salmon fill the runs on there final mating ritual, and Geese and ducks clouds the sky. Most of my clients fly to our closest international airport in Medford Or. (40 minuets away from Grants Pass). A shuttle can be arranged but car rental is highly recommended and an extra day or two to explore this beautiful part of the world is advised. The Holiday Inn express Grants Pass has comfortable accommodations with restaurants within walking distance.

This trip cost is $375.00 for one or two anglers per day; it includes river-side lunch, beverages, rod / a reel (7-8wt.), terminal tackle and flies. A list of necessities will be sent to you with conformation of trip. This trip is recommended for intermediate to advanced fly fishers, young and young at heart. My promise to you is the same as all of our adventures; is that I will be on time and prepared greeting you with a smile, I will have plenty of flies, tackle and good food for the day, my promise of a safety for you and your family and FUN.
I invite you to come up to Oregon and float down the Rogue River with me, and you’ll understand what trout guides do on there time off.

DRIFT BOAT TRIP ONE OR TWO ANGLERS - $ 375.00


I welcome you to bring your own gear and favorite flies but our trips include any gear and flies you will need for the day.
