WIZ!!!!





I Just finished my week's fishing with Wiz and Ranae on the upper NU. We have finally had our first big winter rain just as March comes to an end. Along with our high water came a good batch of fish out of the lower river. We are seeing a mixed bag of colored fish that had been living in the Main and new fish just out of tied water. Wiz saw one of his best days ever with me on a day when he went 4 for 8. His tally included a big buck that was 13-14 lbs and a huge hen that tipped the scale at 16-17lbs. They were both amazing fish that put up epic battles. His hen finally came to hand after 20 minutes of chasing her thru two different pools. Congrats Wiz!!! We'll see you this summer. Remember - you're only welcome back if you bring Ranae with you!

ah yes the Wiz. what a gem of a man. I was lucky enough to have a few classes during my undergrad at UW fisheries, he always talked about his annual trips to the North Umpqua with much anticipation. good to see he didn't get a letdown after last years fish of a lifetime
