Getting out on the Crooked River with our Bamboo Fly Rods

Mary Ann and I took advantage of the great weather this week and hit the Crooked River yesterday for some November Fly Fishing…yep, here in central Oregon we get to fly fish year around!  She took out her 8′  0″  5 wt Spring Creek Series rod and I choose a 7′  6″  5 wt Freestone Series rod for the day.  The white fish are spawning in the river now so small orange egg patterns were the go-to fly for the day.  We caught an equal ratio of whitefish to rainbows, and lost track of how many fish came to the net.  Here are a couple of photos of our day.
