Flyfishing Guide

Steve Cooper has been fly fishing and tying for almost thirty years now and has landed everything from Bluegill to Blue Shark on the fly. He is a former member of the Budweiser National Fishing Team and has had numerous sponsorships through his fishing career, including Sea Ray boats and Mercury outboard motors. He has both guided and worked as a deck hand from Point Sur to Bodega Bay.  In addition, he's probed the dark world of competitive Bass fishing and lived to tell about it.

Steve documents chasing what he calls the most overlooked game fish in the West on two of his favorite rivers, Oregon’s Umpqua River and the fabulous Grand Ronde River in Washington.

Steve enjoys taking the roads less traveled and searching for the next big adventure.  Much of his program will focus on his latest find, the fabulous Grand Ronde River.  He considers this river to be the best Fly Rod Bass fishery in the West and will be guiding on the river in 2007.  He will also include some discussion on the Umpqua River, another fine Bass fishery.

Also, Steve says "Just for the Trout Bums, I'll mention my favorite Trout River.  I don't mention it's name on the Internet; it's too risky.  Guess what? This river just happens to be on the path leading to the Grande Ronde!"

This is going to be a great program you won't want to miss!

FYI - Steve's High Plains Drifters has several 2007 Grande Ronde River Small Mouth Bass trips planned for the anglers willing to forgo a few creature comforts in exchange for solitude, adventure and some great fly fishing. The dates are June 28-29, July 1-2, July 4-5, July 7-8, July 10-11, and July 13-14.  In case you're interested, Steve can be contacted at (209) 956-1032 or email him at repooc3@sbcglobal.net
