In mid-October, a customer swinging flies for sea-runs hooked the fish of a lifetime, a 35lb chinook on a 4wt and 3x! The chances this fish would come to hand were slim and none, but some how Jim beat the odds. After 30 minutes, five jumps and lots of cheering from the peanut gallery, we beached the fish! Absolutely amazing, the biggest fish we've ever seen taken on a 4wt by a long way. When there weren't Chinook on the line there were plenty of typical fall sea-run cutthroats like this nice Siletz fish.<

We didn't guide to this fish, but have to show it anyway. Kathy Youngers of Creekside fly shop in Salem boated this enormous 22", 4lb sea-run in Nestucca tidewater. That's a monster. Rich Youngers of Creekside took this gorgeous cutt on the same magic days as Kathy took hers. That's good fishing! Jesse displays a clients chrome 15" siletz sea-run. 25 fish days were the norm, not the exception A beautiful October morning in Siletz tidewater.
