Summer Filming Nearly Complete!
Summers almost over and the Fly Rod Chronicles crew has been logging up the frequent flyer miles and burning up tape as we captured some of our best action ever.
Check out just a few of the details of our monumental summer trek across the U.S. below:
|
| Gourmet Fly Fishing
The Fly Rod Chronicles Crew was spoiled with pristine
fishing, gourmet meals
and homespun country music as we ran through
the beautiful canyons on the Deschutes in Oregon
with David Renton and his
incredible family of www.gourmetflyfishing.com!
We were joined by special guests
country music songwriter of the year Sam Tate and
Chairman of Project Healing Waters, Douglas Dear.
We had the honor of being escorted down the river
by the legendary Dean of the Deschutes Mike McLucas
and his son-in-law Mark Malefyt.
A picturesque adventure
we will never forget!

The Umpqua
It was a battle of wills between Curtis and
a powerful Oregon steelhead when we fished
the legendary North Umpqua with guide
Tony Wratney of Summer Run and 16 year-old Dylan Renton!
We explore the runs and holes that were once
called home by storied anglers like Zane Grey and Hemingway.

|
| Riverbum.com Crew
It was a fly fishing fantasy camp when we
hooked up with the crew
from Riverbum.com and Falcons Ledge for a fish-off at Dave Ludlows
Crystal Ranch in Utah.
Curtis scored a grand slam by landing
wild rainbows, cutthroats,
brookies and browns
all in one amazing stream running
through the Uinta mountains.

Wilderness Access
We had a great time fishing the Deer Creek Reservoir with
Dale Coryell of the Moscow Fly Shop in Idaho!
Despite being a little early this year on the run-off swollen St.Joe River,we
had plenty of cuttroat action at the mouths of the tributaries
of Marble and Slate Creeks.

Spotted Horse Ranch
In late May we returned to our home
away from home at The Spotted Horse Ranch
in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Our reunion with Hunter, Kevin, Landon
and the rest of the crew was jam packed with
Browns, Cutthroats and a spring bear hunt.
Along with our guest Paul Salomon
and guide Derek Thompson,
Curtis took his first color phased blonde bear.
