Kaufmann Streamborn E-newsletter
News, Announcements & Fishing Report! |
In the wake of the (somewhat) slowing Salmonfly hatch, eager beaks continue to rise in Northwest waters. June is a bountiful time for trout anglers and fish alike. We're just about on the cusp of the summer steelhead season starting gun going off, but pre-season steelheaders have been experiencing summer chrome for a couple months. It's not too late to get in on the action!

Nautilus 10/11 NV Reel - Just a "cream of the crop" reel. The 10/11 NV is ideal for today's lighter, shorter summer steelhead spey rods, not to mention your tarpon stick. The 10/11 will comfortably hold your runner, backing and up to a 550 grain head. |
Z-Axis 6126-4 Spey Rod - A fantastic Deschutes, N. Umpqua, Grande Ronde stick, the 6126 Z-Axis is one of the best summer steelhead speys on the market. The rod shines as an underhanded floating line cannon, and is complemented by the backbone to push a Skagit head and tip for those high in the sky times of day. |
Fishpond Blue River Pack - The Blue River Pack from fishpond doubles as an over the shoulder satchel or a hip pack. Great for the angler who needs a bit of gear when they hop out of the boat or drop the pack. |
Wachter Net - Wachter Nets are an item everyone needs but always seem to forget. It's never more apparent than on the day you struggle to land a wily 20-incher in the middle of the riffle. |
Sharkskin Line - A year in, Sharkskin has proved its mettle. Possessing great shootability & little memory, SA's Sharkskin lines may be most noted for their no-stretch core, providing the quickest and best hookups possible. |
Sagebrush Kit Bag - The only truly "dry" bag out there. Sagebrush's Kit bag is ideal for the traveling angler, as well as one's spending a great deal of time in the drifter, sled, panga, skiff or trawler. |
A Steelheader's Way – Lani Waller's latest and possibly greatest. The Steelheader's Way is a poetic and reverential study of one of the world's great gamefish. |
Rio's Modern Spey Casting DVD - Our best selling instructional video. Modern Spey Casting is perfect for two-handed anglers greenhorn to advanced. Hours of content, tricks and methodology from some of the best in the business. |
Renzetti Traveler Vise - Premier fly tyers agree; the Renzetti Traveler Vise provides the best "bang for the buck" available in vises today. |
Simms Wading Belt - Often overlooked, the wading belt is an essential and utilitarian piece of safety gear for the angler. The Neoprene version from Simms is the best of the bunch. |
Angling has been nothing short of spectacular on the McKenzie and Willamette River's this Spring. Kaufmann Streamborn is lucky to have seasoned guides Matt Ramsey and Scott Nelson guiding clients on these waters. Home to some of the best dry fly fishing in Oregon, the McKenzie and Willamette are ideally fished from drift boats and offer anglers serenity, eager trout and a traveling landscape.
