Hello Fly Anglers,

This is such a great time of year with spring blooms starting and the spring and winter weather battling back and forth. This morning on the Clackamas river I heard the sounds of geese, ducks, quail, woodpeckers, osprey, bald eagles and a pile of song birds. Spring steelhead are arriving and won't be long that trout season will be full on. What an amazing place we live!

Have you or do you know someone who always wanted to get started in fly fishing? Here is a great opportunity. This spring WTO is offering a FREE fly casting lesson. That's right FREE! This is a great way to get started in the fun.

If you're already waist deep learning fly fishing and can't get enough you might want to join us for our Deschutes River Fly Fishing Class. This is hands on techniques, tactics, casting, knots and more fishing tips than you'll probably be able to remember in one day! Check out this class below.

We are so grateful to have amazing customers like you! Please let us know if there is something we can do to serve you better.

We look forward to time on the water!

What you’ll take with you-a great experience, new fly fishing skills, a pile of great spots to go fishing on the Deschutes, a new sport you can love for a lifetime and probably some new friends!

Congrats to client James Keyser who after starting with WTO spey casting lesson just about one year ago landed this dandy wild steelhead recently on an Oregon coastal river. He was using a #7 Sage X rod and a Crandall's Provider fly pattern. Way to go James!
