06/15/08 Added killer fishing images gallery, the better photos I have shot while fishing.

These images will most certainly inspire thought in the minds of all avid anglers. While on the subject of photos here is a shot from this spring from a day out with Kevin Lund and crew.

That was early in the run and those fish were very tasty! Kevin is a fishy kinda guy. If your on that boat, your going to catch something.

05/07/08 Here are 3 new 'Short Reels' clips for April With Matthew Clark, Bob Singley, David Johnson, Ed Fast and Brandon Glass. You will want to see these! An insane sidedrift hookup while searching for natives to contribute to the Sandy broodstock program and a perfect prawn roll takes the nooker for Bob Singley on the Willamette..If your having trouble viewing due to size, all clips are loaded to our YouTube and MySpace sites as well.

Along with several new "Short Reel's" clips Astori C&R Gator's is still on the feature list. I am currently editing a film from the Deschutes river this last year with Mitch Webb from Kevin's Briftboat and Take a Soldier Fishing. A good time was had by all with one steelhead for each of us. I have a realy cool american shad fishing film that will be ready for release by shad season this spring. We will have some more great films to showcase after a few key things this year. I am heading to Alaska this fall for a week in the Kenai Peninsula area with a friend. It is our hope to start an Alaska adventure Journel that will showcase local lodges and services as well as Small Stream Salmon Fishing. This has been done before but never my way : ) Stay tuned for more!

Nushagak, Togiak, Clackamas and Sandy river pages are up. I am working on Columbia, McKenzie, Deschutes and Tillamook Bay fishing sites now and even though they are online may take several weeks to complete. Check out "Their Missions" page. All the big fisheries groups in one place to review or join. Movies page for SSSF site is up and ready to view. In PGP news a film titled Astoria C&R Gators with Kevin Newells family has been released and can be found on our movies page. The film is a showcase for great White sturgeon fishing in Astoria and we also are going to show you exactly how we do it. If you would like to come along with us this year on the same trip check out the Fish Alongs page

A recent addition to the SSSF site is the "Short Reel's" series. The first clip in the series briefly shows how to catch steelhead in low water with a fly rod, a steelhead jig and a strike inidactor. These Short Reels clips will all be under 5 minutes long. I also loaded a Bobber Fishing Tips film that was well rated by what looks like over 2000 viewers between the 2 file types. If your looking to improve your bobber fishing this fall check this film out...You will learn lots of great tips to take to the river with you. Do not forget to also watch the "Sandshrimp Rigging" clip if your going to be bobber fishing with cocktails for fall chinook this year : ).

I have 2 additional clips set asiad for Short Reel's from the Astoria footage. A clip on rigging an anchovy for sturgeon the correct way and the complete 10 footer land & release. I want to take the educational parts of some films and cut out clips for this purpose. This gives us great material for our PGP MySpace and Utube. The year is looking good for film with trips in the works with several great Oregon and Washington guides. IM trying to cover some of the east side this year and also hoping to get down to the south coast rivers for some photos and fishing. I am submitting additional films to Metro East cablecast for this year because last year they ran them as fillers at night and people often reported seeing them to me. I am glad to hear this because normaly it only gets played 4 times total a year.
