This Issue Is Especially For The Ladies 
Because They Deserve The Attention!!

A long term customer/fishing buddy of mine is sitting in the front seat of my pontoon boat while her "old man" is fishing the run in front of us.  She proceeds to tell me how much she likes the Simms Lightweight wading shoes she bought from us.  Then she tells me how most of the female anglers that she knows can't find the appropriate clothing for themselves. Then I say what do you mean?  We've got all this neat gear for women anglers because we like women anglers,...but it doesn't sell very quickly.  Where upon she tells me that she's been trading with us for years and has never noticed that we carry all this stuff for women and why didn't we do a better job of informing our customers?  And I said, "You know that is a great idea!"  Here is some of the women's gear:

Winston JOAN WULFF FAVORITE Fly Rods

Some girls like diamonds.  Some girls like jewelry grade fly rods.

JOAN WULFF FAVORITES
One of the foremost authorities on fly casting in the world, Joan Wulff believes women anglers need lighter rods and smaller grips.  Consequently, she helped design a specialized grip for her favorite trout rods,  a Winston 5-weight WT Series, and also her favorite salmon/steelhead/saltwater rod, the 9 foot 8-weight BIIX rod.  All of these rods, are extremely lightweight and a delight to cast.  They come equipped with a special smaller diameter grip which features a thumb grove for proper hand positioning.

JOAN WULFF FAVORITE TROUT ROD

3 pc. - 8 1/2' #5 - IM6 - Joan Wulff Favorite trout rod.

Joan says, "A good trout rod becomes an extension of your arm. The action should be soft enough to give great feeling in each cast, yet strong enough to present the line well in a variety of conditions.  My favorite trout rod, 8 1/2 foot Winston WT, does just that, and the grip will help make sure that your hand is positioned properly."

JOAN WULFF FAVORITE 8-WEIGHT ROD

Joan says, "In Salmon/steelhead/saltwater fishing, the fly must be presented in both calm and windy conditions to fish that are often moving.  A good rod must be able to deliver the fly up to sixty feet away in just a few seconds, with no more than one false case.  This rod not only meets these qualifications for speed, but has the wonderful feeling that the words "Winston Action" have always defined.  It's a great rod."

Our Mysterious Rivers
You never know what you will see when you are fishing along our home waters.
Spey angler reaching out for mysterious steelhead...
We found this sturgeon along the Sandy River upstream from Oxbow Park.  Anyone know how it got there? "There's a big lone ram across the river.  
He's bedded down just above the rim rock
half a mile away, 2,000 feet above us."

Eric Gunter Wins !!!

Yesterday April 24, a nice crowd showed up for our Thomas & Thomas Day barbeque.  The weather was perfect for being outdoors.  Greg Snider and Trey Combs helped each of our guests find the right model of T&T to try out.   Then they put their name in the drawing for some valuable prizes.  Our good fishing buddy, Eric Gunter won the rod.  Eric gets to pick any single hand rod of his choice.  The last we heard he was leaning toward an HE 910S-4 (9'-#10) worth $650. Congratulations, Eric!
