Pontoon Boat Plans












I am going to post these photos of the 4 model of my "lobster boat" even though I am not through painting it, because a cold front is moving in, and I want to get the boat in the water before the pond freezes over. Since this is a 1/5 scale model, I weighed the model; set it afloat; and added weight to bring it to its designed waterline. Indications are that the full size boat will be about 700 pounds and carry about a 1000 pound load at designed displacement.

The whole process of building a boat involves cutting a lot of lumber, but at the beginning there were whole days of doing nothing but.

The plans called for kiln-dried or air-dried lumber of no more than 12% moisture.  I live in the hills of Northern California which at times is like living in a rain forest, so that seemed unlikely.  In terms of what species of lumber, what tree: there was a long list of species that would work and a long list of ones that would not.  Doug fir is the most commonly available light, strong construction lumber on the west coast and was on the okay list.  So this began with a treasure hunt to find just the right lumber to build the frame of the boat that would not be ridiculously expensive.


The reason for the specificity of tree and moisture content of the lumber had to do with the epoxy that would be used to bind it all together.  Every joint and every plywood seam and every place where plywood contacts a member gets epoxied. Epoxy wont bind well if the lumber is green, wet, or is of a species of wood that is high in natural oils.

After a little research, I found that our local lumber company, what used to be San Lorenzo Lumber (now ProBuilt), had in one of their yards kiln-dried Doug Fir that was not much more expensive than the green wood they normally sell for construction.  Sweet.  Three hundred dollars of wood later, my old work truck was loaded with boat lumber and headed up to E. Zayante where the boat was being built.



Generally, I had big long 16 and 20 foot 2x4 lengths.  The boat has a 20 foot long top deck, and because of the rake at the ends, is 16 foot along the bottom.  There are also 8 foot long beams across the boat ("athwartship" in boatbuilding-speak) and a bunch of little stuff that would be ends, posts, etcetera

But the plans called for ripping every piece to some new width, some 3 inches wide some 2-1/2.  A finish 2x4 from the lumberyard is actually 3-1/2 x 1-1/2 with smooth rounded corners.  Instead of taking a half inch off of a side to make a 3 inch thick piece, the plans called for taking off a 1/4 inch on either side.  The reason for this is sensible:  Cutting off the rounded edges of the lumber makes a better joint when it is epoxied.


So we spent a whole day feeding 16 and 20 foot long lengths of lumber into the tablesaw... twice. We made lots and lots of sawdust.

Then we cut a bunch of stuff to length, labeled it, and voila.  At the end of the day, we had a pile of lumber that we intended to turn into a boat.

I once likened the august figure of Her Majesty’s Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to Jabba the Hut. I was not thinking of his shape so much as his general manner and demeanour, and the way he deals with people with whom he doesn’t happen to agree. It seems that Jabba the Hut has been at it again this weekend in the remarks he made on the Andrew Marr Show about the Environment Agency and their leader, Lord (Chris) Smith. It was an unedifying display of political bile.

As Chris Smith diplomatically pointed out this morning, the Environment Agency has been operating within very tight financial constraints imposed by this government. They were prevented from dredging the Somerset Levels by the strict limits that had been placed on their spending by their sponsoring department DEFRA, who in turn were constrained by the dead hand of the Treasury. In fact, the EA has been forced to make significant economies by the insane insistence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer on cutting government spending to the bone. Staff numbers in the Agency have been unavoidably cut (and significant further reductions in staffing levels are planned), which was bound to impact on the Agency’s ability to carry out continuing flood defence work and, in particular, ongoing maintenance of existing flood prevention schemes. Ministers have been quick to point to the authorisation of substantial additional capital spending, but it is the cuts in revenue spending – spending that is vital in order to maintain existing facilities and equipment, and the staffing costs of servicing those needs - that has hobbled the EA, and prevented it from doing its job effectively.

So stand up, Osborne!. You, boy, are the miscreant who is ultimately responsible for this debacle. The plain fact is that government has to find enough funds to ensure that essential public services are maintained. If the Treasury feels it necessary to reduce government borrowing (and there are some very eminent and well-respected economists who have told us repeatedly that this is entirely unnecessary – we are in a very different position from some of our European neighbours in this regard), then the obvious answer is to raise more in taxes. We can’t have it both ways; if we want decent public services, we have to pay for them, and that means paying higher taxes. If we are not prepared to pay those taxes, then we shall face deteriorating public services. The extent of the flooding on the Somerset Levels due to the main rivers not having been dredged is just one example of the results of such a policy. Unrepaired roads, even perhaps uncollected rubbish, may well follow.

The trouble is that Bertie Wooster (aka ‘Dave’ Cameron) and his pals from the Drones Club really have no knowledge or experience of the lives of the people affected by their doctrinaire drive to ‘shrink’ the public sector, and reduce taxes (especially for those poor souls who were having to pay 50% on their top slice of income and are still forced to pay a 45% top rate). I rather hope that the recent and, unfortunately, continuing flooding crisis might perhaps persuade people, if not this toffee-nosed government, that we need to spend more, not less, on public services of all kinds, and that the present government is headed in entirely the wrong direction.

Canoe Boat Plans





I have already posted on the design of this boat, so I will skip that subject other than to mention that my initial "plan consists of tables of computed offsets in an X,Y,Z three-dimensional framework. I am having computer issues with importing photos, so they will get posted a little later.

1. First job was to convert those dimensions into full-size patterns for all the frames and the curved keel forefoot. I used stiff rosin paper for the patterns, the largest pattern is about 36" by 68". The offsets only define the outline of each part; thus, each frame was then drawn as a series of boards with joining angles and gussets. A horizontal reference line was drawn at the same level for each frame; this was used to align them all vertically when mounted on the strongback. The centerline can be used to align them horizontally.

2. With full-size patterns it is relatively easy to build the actual frames, all 14 of them. An outboard engine is to be contained in a semi-well which intersects with three frames, so those internal details had to be included in the frame designs.

3. A strongback was built with vertical support posts attached at each frame position. The frames were sequentially clamped in place using a laser beam to align them. Then longitudinal components, starting with the keel, were bonded in place. I really was anxious to get the engine well fit and bonded in place. Being integrated with the deck, hull bottom, transom, and three frames and structurally important to transmit the power of the engine its fit was critical.

The dark side
"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact its all dark. "
Pink Floyd

Great hypothetical questions of all time: if you won the lottery would you quit work? Would you travel to the ends of earth to catch fish? Is it possible to eat too many tacos?  Ive always thought there this is no limits to where I would go to find aggressive bad ass fish, like Giant Trevally. Hell, if they were on the dark side of the moon, Id go there. Recently, my hypothetical was tested by a dose of reality by traveling to the Seychelles to chase a number of species but specifically GTs,  the psychopath of the jack family.

The Seychelles are a group of over 100 islands with a only a few inhabited that lies about 1000 miles off the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. The largest island is Mahe which hosts a number of flights from Europe and the Middle East. A few of our group made a detour for a few days in London. And yes, you cannot travel further to find fish since the Seychelles lie 12 hours ahead of our own Pacific time zone. From Mahe, we took a small plane to Farquhar atoll to a small landing strip. The atoll forms a semi circle to an approximately 60 square mile area with only about 5 square miles of land where Fly Castaway, headquartered in South Africa runs one of several operations throughout the Seychelles.

Simple yet clean
Lodging at Farquhar is clean, comfortable, and simple with a/c but certainly not luxurious. A large porch sits facing the beautiful turquoise waters of the atoll. A thatched open air area serves as the dining area with the best view of all towards the water and the sunsets. Food is exemplary and plentiful especially when you realize that everything has to be imported to the atoll.

We were there for a week of fishing with some of the most accomplished and knowledgeable guides from South Africa, France, and the Seychelles who speak excellent english and are highly motivated to make sure the week is a success. Be prepared for extensive wading over large flats with uneven terrain and coral, therefore, boots are a must. Ratio of guides to clients is 2 to 1 being ferried around by very nice open console boats. In the morning one option is to start by trolling teasers for sailfish with bait and switch to fly options. Guides are adept at discussing the fishing options depending on the flat and the tides. The night before everyone gathers in the “rec room” to discuss pairings and strategies for the next day.

The ecosystem in Farquhar is truly amazing given the lack of impact from man and no commercial influence. Across the flats are numerous non game marine life including large numbers of sting rays, Manta rays, turtles, many species of sharks and bird life. In a subsequent article, I explain how the bird life can influence fly choice. Just walking the flats and spying all this wildlife is worth the trip. But since I had traveled to the “Dark Side of the Moon”, I thought I might make a cast or two.

A few friendly faces.
Game fish include GT’s, permit, bonefish, trigger fish, sail fish, barracuda, snapper, grouper, milk fish, Napoleon wrasse and a fish that looks like it’s from the movie “Avatar”, the bumphead parrotfish or bumpy. Through the day you might catch any number of species. And any number of these fish will test your gear to it’s limits, just ask my new reel that decided to hiccup on a bumpy. Thank god for my guide who was willing to wade out and chase down my fish. Fishing is primarily done with 12 weights for GT’s but one always carries a 9-10 weight for other less fearsome species. GT’s are definitely worth their reputation in terms of attack of the fly and their strength.

All in all, a trip of a lifetime where I’ve proven that I’m willing to travel any distance to chase fish. Now if I can just win the lottery to to test one of my other hypothetical scenarios.

ONE Trout Spey = Ultra Light Two Hand Rods specifically for trout chasers

Sage ONE Trout Spey

The ONE Trout Spey rods are designed specifically for two-handed casting and swinging flies for trout. These ultra-light Spey rods are delicate enough to protect small flies on light tippets yet are powerful enough to cast modestly weighted streamers on light sink tips. The Super Plus cork mini-Spey fore and rear grip complete these two models. These ONE models will retail for $1050 and will be available August 2015. 

“Anglers looking for ultra-light rods and rods made specifically for chasing trout with a Spey rod, now have the just that in the world-class design of the ONE rod family,” says Sage chief rod designer, Jerry Siem.

Sage builds on its successful ONE family of fly rods with the addition of the LITTLE ONE and the ONE Trout Spey. Both new rod families utilize Konnetic Technology®, Sage’s exclusive rod technology that allows for slimmer blank profiles with maximized strength and energy transfer without sacrificing line speed, responsiveness, and accuracy.

Notes From George Cook
The new One Trout Spey features the One Rod Story-line bringing premium performance through the Konnetic platform to the Small Spey World (2109-4, 3110-4).  We recently had the good fortune to put the 3110-4 to the test on Alaska’s Kenai River taking rainbows to 22”.  These rods are perfectly matched with RIO’s Skagit MAX Short (Swing Game), small sized Switch Chucker’s, along with the brand new specialized Skagit Trout Max (Some Swing Mostly Streamer Strip), and Small Scandi Tapers.  Whether you find yourself swinging a soft hackle on the Deschutes or Madison, a fall quest for Sea run Cutthroat in the Pacific Northwest or swinging streamers for Trout both near and far you have your tool in the ONE Trout Spey.

Boden Boat Plans Australia



May 25, 2015

This week marks another significant change in the fishing opportunities this week as many of our local streams open up for trout fishing.  The following is a basic briefing of the fishing synopsis for our local streams

East Fork of the Hood River:  Open for catch and release trout from May 23 to October 31.  NOT OPEN FOR STEELHEAD OR SALMON

West Fork of the Hood River:  Closed to all angling above Punchbowl Falls.

Hood River (Main Branch): Open for catch and release trout until October 31.  It is also open for two fin-clipped steelhead year round.  All trout over 20” are considered steelhead.  Open for two fin-clipped adult Chinook salmon and five fin-clipped jack Chinook salmon until June 30. 

Eagle Creek near Bonneville Dam:  Open for catch and release trout from May 23 until October 31.  It’s also open for fin-clipped steelhead and salmon until August 15. 

Deschutes RiverThere is no salmon season this spring.  Two trout 10-13” may be retained.  Two fin-clipped steelhead may be retained, but there is no bait allowed except for the three miles below Sherar’s Falls. 

Klickitat River:  Currently open below Lyle Falls (mile 1.4) on Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.  The entire river opens on Monday, June 1.  From the best that we can interpret the rules; retention of fin-clipped steelhead will be mandatory as of July 1.  You will be required to kill hatchery steelhead and you must stop angling once you have reached your limit.  There will be more on this later, I am sure. 
There has been an “emergency” rule change to increase the limit to three fin-clipped steelhead and up to two hatchery (fin-clipped) Chinook, but no more than three fish may be retained.  Only two of those fish may be hatchery Chinook. 

White Salmon River:  From the old, dilapidated bridge below the old powerhouse upstream to Northwestern Lake bridge:  From May 23 to June 30, two hatchery (fin-clipped) fish may be retained, either salmon or steelhead.  From July 1-31, the limit increases to three.  It appears that retention of hatchery steelhead will be mandatory here too. 
Trout fishing is open on the White Salmon from the first Saturday in June (June 6) upstream of the dilapidated bridge near the powerhouse until October 31.  Trout fishing from the mouth up to the powerhouse bridge is closed until August 1. 

This does not solve the problem of lack of accessible water on the White Salmon.  It is a steady class IV-V whitewater with steep canyon walls and is not recommended to go down there without serious whitewater gear (do not take a framed boat down there, paddle rafts only!)  There are serious waterfalls on every section and no actual boat ramps.  The traditional bait hole at the mouth of the river is still very shallow and filled in with silt, but is starting to carve out a little bit.  It’s a beautiful river with no access and dangerous water, no hatchery or wild fish, just the occasional stray.  It will take twenty years for the stray steelhead and salmon to establish a decent population after the dam (with no fish passage) was removed a few years back. 

Rainbow Trout on the Deschutes Riveris still the number one destination for local anglers right now.  Although the stonefly hatch has reached its peak, fishing should remain really good for the next few weeks, but anglers must have a variety of flies in the arsenal.  Make sure that you have nymph and dry versions of PMDs/PEDs, yellow sallies, and caddis (mostly in drab/dark colors).  Be prepared, fish can turn on to any “micro hatch” that happens during the day with fish moving from one pattern to the next relatively quickly.  An angler must be prepared to change flies often.  Even if a pattern was working an hour and two riffles ago, there is no guarantee that fish will still be eating it later in the day. 

Remember that there is NO FISHING FROM A BOAT ON THE DESCHUTES and also, fishing on the Warm Springs Reservation is highly regulated, so check the regulations before you start fishing on the wrong side… Some sections require a permit and others are prohibited all together. 

Spring Chinook are still looking good, although catch rates have dropped a little bit lately.  Pressure has slowed quite a bit too.  There have been few, if any anglers (besides Ian) down at the mouth of the Hood River lately.  Salmon can be found in any of our local rivers right now, but check to make sure that they are open to angling before you go. 

The Clackamas Riverhas been kicking out some summer steelhead as of late and pressure (and the flow) is pretty darn low.  Rivers that are closer to the ocean tend to get earlier returning fish than upstream tributaries like our local Columbia Gorge streams.  That being said, there are fresh steelhead in our rivers every month of the year, but chasing steelhead is a numbers game and you should go where the numbers are higher if you want success. 

Smallmouth Bass are an underrated fish around here.  They are big and plentiful and no one really ever fishes for them.  Look for rocky, shallow areas where wind and currents push against the rocks.  You will be mostly unsuccessful if you are fishing in wind-protected areas.  Unfortunately, smallies like to hang out in some of the windiest areas around.  There are tons of places on the Columbia Riverthat a guy could catch a mess o’ bass, but the key is finding some place that is getting pounded by the wind.    

The John Day Riveris another great place to catch smallies.  The access is easy and the fish are plentiful.  They are not as big as their kin in the Columbia River, but they are tons of fun nonetheless.  Thunderstorms blew the river out last week, but it should clear up by mid-week. 

Lakes have been fishing really well.  Goose Lakeis one of my favorite lakes to wet a line.  The fish are plentiful there and there are occasionally some bigguns.  Lost Lake has been fishing well too.  I really like Timothy Lake, Trillium Lakeand Clear Lakeup near Mt. Hood. Clear Lakeis a little quieter than Timothy, but they can both produce some really nice fish.  Trillium is stocked with “jumbo” trout and has some real hogs in it, but it is a small lake that is popular with hikers, swimmers and day-drinkers, so solitude is rare during on a hot day. 

Laurence Lake is a nice option for stillwater anglers too.  It has bait restrictions and is mostly a catch and release fishery.  Occasionally, anglers catch bull trout, but its mostly stocked rainbow trout that are fin-clipped.  Anglers must release all bull trout and all unclipped rainbow or cutthroat trout. 

I would be fishing damselfly nymphs in most of the lakes during this time of year, but Callibaetis hatches can be thick, and I don’t know too many trout that will refuse to eat a well-presented leech pattern. 


As always, we are happy to talk fishing any time.  Give us a call if you have any specific questions on local rivers, gear, and tactics, or if you just want some encouragement to get out of the office.

Boat Plans For A Chesapeake Deadrise


Dates were set, gear in check and Toms flight just landed in the Albuquerque Sunport.

Passport NOT required!

Despite a near last minute cancellation due to illness all was on track to explore winter in the Southwest Trout Region. Winter conditions almost got in the way as our drive had us skirting around a cold front that had just earlier that day left snow on the Continental Divide.

First stop San Juan for some long overdue ego boost. Not today! Having arrived on the backside of a cold front we found fussy fish teasing us with short strikes and avoiding any solid pin of the hook.

What do you call it when the fish dont eat? Casting Practice!
Personally I realized that it had been too long since wetting a line. I knew this because I quickly realized I was off my game. Fumbling, not connecting, not focused and at a later point in the day Tom said "Dude...Chill out!...Just step back, relax and unwind" (deep breath!). You know you got a good friend when hes not scared to look you in the eye and tell you to get it together. Sometimes you need to hear it.Tom went on to land a couple fish at the end of the day while I pulled myself together but the fish were still far from happy.

Dark had fallen on the tiny town of Navajo Dam as we rolled in to the local diner for a dinner chow. Trophy pictures hanging on the wall did nothing to ease the torment of a mediocre at best day of fishing.

Back to our room at the Rainbow Lodge and Resolution Guide Service owner Steve came over to say hello. Steve gave us a great winter rate and his accommodations were exactly what two weary fisherman needed for a great nights rest. After a brief recap of our days success or lack of would be a better way to describe it, Steve offered his expertise and we listened closely. After unloading the truck I quickly grabbed a cold beer from the cooler and dumped my gear on the table. Get it together is the only thought on my mind. Tom and I spent the better part of the evening catching up on whats been going on and preparing for the next day.

Next day came with blue sky and the sunrise quickly leveled the frost. As I drove us down to Last Chance Hole I fired up a song on the stereo. Tony Furtada doing a cover of an old classic Tom Petty "Running Down a Dream."
? It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down - I had the radio on, I was driving
Trees flew by, Me and Del were singin Little Runaway
I was Flying
Yeah Running down a dream That never would come to me

I got the look from Tom followed with "Dude! What are you doing driving 20 mph down the road? I said "Getting in tune and relaxing, we only have like a mile to go and I want to hear this song"... lol... Geared and ready to go we ran down to the water and made a few casts before our friends from Durango would arrive.

Soon after Beatle and Jon arrived. Truck tailgates dropped and a full on gear convention took place. I pulled out my Jetboil and offered fresh brewed coffee. After our show and tell session we took Beatles advice and headed up to an area called the Back Channel. This run held great promise. It just felt right for swinging with its heavy current, deep channel and plenty of boulders to create seams.
Jon landing first ever Two Hand Trout catch
It wasnt long and Tom was into a Rainbow and followed that up with a Brown. The advice that Steve gave us the night before had been validated. It was a tiny size 28 red annelid trailing behind our streamers that the fish would eat.  It wasnt until later in the afternoon that the fish started to take the streamer. I could sense the change in the fishs attitude. Thats a sign that were getting tuned in and a good day turned into a great day of fishing!

Ore House | Durango, Colorado
As dusk set in we headed back to the truck, packed up our gear and took off north on a course set for the mountain town of Durango, Colorado. Beatle invited us to join him for dinner and drinks at his historic Ore House Restaurant. Greeted at the door by Beatle, Jon and wives Cheryl and Lyndsey, we quickly settled into the warm, casual, inviting atmosphere while granddaughter Alyson provided entertainment. Will Blanchard of Animas Valley Anglers joined in and we toasted drinks while recapping the days success. Drinks, laughter and an incredible meal kept us going late into the night. Durango is such a fun and friendly town.


Next day we met down on the Animas River close to town. The Animas is a beautiful freestone mountain stream. Middle January and this river is cold! No surprise that these fish arent going to move far for a fly. About an hour after four of us probing the water Tom hooks up on an awesome Brown. That one fish validated all effort!
Tom Larimer | Larimer Outfitters | Winston MicroSpey

We went on to fish some other areas and later that day the Rainbows started feeding and several came to hand. We admired each one for they were all fat and healthy fish.

Animas River Bow
Dusk settled in as we stowed our gear. Tom and I decided right then that we would stay another night in Durango instead of making the long dark lonely drive back down into Albuquerque. Its the most scenic drive during the day and the darkest drive ever during the night!

Back to town, secured a room and dropped off three days of what was once precisely organized fishing gear now appears in total disarray. Hungry we walked down in town for dinner...I love towns that you can park the rig and just walk to whatever you want. Tom was told when you travel to New Mexico one must experience a green chile cheeseburger even if youre in Colorado! This is true! So with a recommendation from our local friends we entered a local cantina to try the best green chile cheeseburger in town. It did not disappoint and Tom approved!

Drove back to the city the next day and got Tom on a plane headed home. On my drive home I looked back on the past few days and wondered what was my favorite part of the trip. Was it catching up with a good friend, meeting new friends, experiencing a new town, fishing a new river, experimenting with new gear, catching fish or great food and drink. All of the above!

Boat Plans Arch Davis


Sorry for the lack of recent posts; the winter weather and some logistical problems have slowed things down.  My previous boat has been transferred to a new owner and is now residing in Montana.  The new boat has been transferred to the trailer and fits it perfectly.  The new 75hp Evinrude E-Tec engine has been installed, and all the controls have been connected.  I still need to organize tubes & wires by wrapping and strapping them under the deck.  I had wanted a stainless steel windshield frame, but, no matter how exact and simple I made the proposed design, the metal fabrication shop still estimated the cost at $4000-5000 which just didnt fit my goal of producing a good boat at a moderate price.  So, I bought a plank of African mahogany for $68 and built my own windshield frame.  I have had the glass cut and fit for the frame.  The glass people said that they think the wood frame will look nicer than metal.  Nice to hear such comments.  The wood frame has been fabricated in four sections.  Although the four sections fit together well, I want to bond them together with epoxy while they are in place on the hull foredeck for a strong, accurate result.  The boat is now in our unheated garage with outside temperatures mainly below freezing.  The epoxy will require warmer temperatures.  It may be awhile before the final assembly of the windshield takes place, but, in the meantime, I can clamp and screw the windshield in place well enough to have a boat cover fabricated.

The windshield frame was designed mathematically.  It is a system which works incredibly well for me.  Everything is done in an X,Y, Z coordinate system.  After building two mock-ups, I elected to build a windshield 12.5 inches high which slants aft 10.5 inches from bottom to top and is 53.5 inches wide with rectangular sections.  Knowing also the offsets of the deck curvature, I was able to calculate the angle of intersection of the two front panels, 16.54 degrees, the angle of intersection of the front panels to the deck, 42.48 degrees, and the angle of intersection of the side panels to the deck, 9.09 degrees.  All the linear dimensions were calculated to similar accuracy.  When cut to those angles in the shop before assembly, the panels fit together well.  I cant imagine how much more difficult it must be to use trial-and-error, cut-to-fit methods.

We were in Bocas Del Toro, Panama recently and I brought back some pictures of abandoned, hollowed-out-log cayucos and the pangas which have replaced them to a great degree.  When we lived there 30+ years ago, our local maid said she wouldnt trust a boat which was made with adhesives instead of from a single tree trunk.  Times have changed.

My book, A Practical Guide to Permitted Changes of Use has now been published, and pre-ordered copies are now being distributed by post. The digital version of the book will also be available this week. We are holding the pre-publication price for direct orders for a further week, until 13 November. After that, the price will be £40.

Advance orders have exceeded all expectations, and about two-thirds of the original print run has already been sold. An early reprint is on the cards.

Readers who have not yet made up their mind to buy a copy of the book may find it helpful to have a note of the book’s contents, and so I am reproducing below the complete Table of Contents.

Fishing Report  

Well things didn’t quite go as planned last week.  I had hoped that the Klickitat and Deschutes would have stayed in shape, but hotter than expected weather along with a couple of isolated thunderstorms caused our local favorites to be much tougher than expected.  

Conditions should (hopefully) stabilize this week as no rain is expected.  Temps are looking to creep up towards triple digits mid-week, so that could keep that muddy brown in the Klickitat, but the D should be looking good soon.  

I did a little backpacking into a couple of lakes north of Mt. St Helens last week.  I brought an Echo Glass 369 and a handful of hopper patterns... I love lakes that are loaded with brook trout that rarely, if ever, see anglers.  They were jumping several feet out of the water to eat those hoppers. 

Reports from the Deschutes indicate that the Angler Access at Oak Springs Hatchery are no longer public and that there are “no trespassing” signs where the public access once was.  We will investigate further and post something when we get an update.   

Summer Steelhead are definitely around right now in the local rivers.  The Deschutes River was down to under a foot of visibility Thursday through Sunday.  The White River blew out from rains on Mt. Hood, but conditions are improving.  I’d imagine that Monday and Tuesday will be a bit rough, but get out there this week as the fish in the river now have seen little pressure and should be snappy by the end of the week, barring any oddities.  

The Klickitat River has been all over the place this last week.  Thursday was poor, Friday was mediocre with around two feet and very high winds.  As of Sunday, visibility is less than 6” throughout the entirety of the river.  Rains up high on the mountain may have caused some coloration, but the word on the street is that the Cougar Creek Fire on Mt. Adams is actually burning across the upper part of the river.  This may be sending debris, dirt, and ash into the river, giving it the very poor visibility.  It will be a “wait and see” approach for this week.   

Smallmouth Bass fishing has been excellent on the John Day River.  Bass on the Columbia River have been harder to find lately as weeds are growing very high on the shorelines and the river has been up and down throughout the Gorge.  Bass do not like it when the river goes up three feet and then back down.  It tends to scatter them around and they tend to suspend off the rocky shorelines which makes them harder to find...  But the John Day has been great!  Head out to Cottonwood Canyon Park and get yourself into some smallies.   

Carp fishing has been good this past week as the rising flow in the Columbia has moved fish into some new flats that are relatively weed-free right now and holding quite a few fish.  The carp don’t mind as much when the water comes up and down, but their tolerance for spotty flows can wane and they will disappear without hesitation.  The side sloughs and impoundments have been more consistent if you can find one that is not overgrown with weeds.  

Trout fishing has been hit and miss this last week.  The Crooked filled with algae/weeds as the dam has been spilling more water from the top of the lake, which contains some pretty gross stuff.  There are still plenty of eager fish, but several anglers commented on having to deal with catching floating bio-debris.  The Metolius has been more consistent as this spring creek is more stable with flows and temperatures. Fishing on the Met is never easy, but it is always rewarding.  The upper part of the Deschutes (above Lake Billy Chinook) has been good, with plenty of eager fish that love to eat flies. The upper part of the Lower Deschutes (below Pelton Dam) has been tough, with similar reports as from the Crooked.  There is a lot of algae and weeds that are moving through the river, affecting clarity and an angler’s ability to get a clean drift (I ordered a trout, not a side salad).  Good fishing is still available, but one’s tolerance for dealing with weeds is the major factor.  The McKenzie River is still fishing well, and there are plenty of fish around that just love a #18 red copper john... 

Lost Lake is still fishing very well, and trout have been coming up to the surface early and late to eat Callibaetis, Grasshoppers and Carpenter Ants, as well as just about anything else including beetles, damselflies and maybe some early caddis.  Pull a woolly bugger deep and slow on a sinking line during the day for your best shot at good numbers of fish.  

As always, we are happy to talk fishing any time.  Give us a call if you have any specific questions on local rivers, gear, and tactics, or if you just want some encouragement to get out of the office.

Boat Designs And Plans


Heres a big pile of questions that occur to me.  Solutions will no doubt present themselves, but in the meantime they are open questions.  Im not sweating the answers, but just want to remember to keep them in my mind for now.

Q: How will the winch be mounted on the trailer?




Q: How will the bow eye attach?  Related, how will the transom tie-downs attach?




Q: Where will the anchor(s) be stored?

Q: What about anchor line and mooring lines?


Q: Where will life vests be stowed?
