The Stone Sessions vol. II: Expectations
Related content
Dry fly fishing Oregon's Deschutes River for it's stunning native trout. Having high or unrealistic expectations when trying to time the stonefly hatches is often a recipe for disappointment. It seems having modest or no expectations (except enjoying the pursuit), is a better way to approach. And when that rare moment arrives.... well...you know the rest of the story.
When in prime condition and fat from gorging on salmonflies and golden stones I believe Deschutes trout are amongst the hardest fighting trout anywhere. Majority of trout shown were fooled by the fantastic Chubby Chernobyl from Idylwilde Flies. Kudos to the great folks at Fin and Fire in Redmond, Oregon for being fully stocked on chubbies during the hatch: finandfire.com/

Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
