90 years old and still wading around fishing on slippery rocks! My hats off the the gentleman... I understand as a steelhead fisherman the peace and tranquility of just listening to the water talk to you!
This was so beautiful to watch. I moved into this area about 5 years ago and was only an occasional fly fisher. I had no clue that I had stumbled onto on the the graduate school of wading and fishing. Most days I get my but kicked but I've started landing larger cutthroat and am now targeting steelhead. There is seriously something magical about this stream and especially the color of the water.
It's been an honor to have grown up fishing and sharing this river alongside such a legend as Frank Moore. The North Umpqua is forever part of my soul.
Frank Moore- I wonder if you knew my Grandfather Harold Barker, or my Grandma Doris Barker? My dad is Bill Barker. My Grandpa helped build the North Umpqua Trail. This is a wonderful video! Love this! Thank you for sharing!
FRANK DIED at age 98. BURNED OUT : Franks cabin burned down in 2020 in the big forest fire .😑. Most of the Steelhead holes and runs were named by Frank himself.
Question: why do so many of the “old guard” fly fish switch handed? I am NOT beating him, he is a legend. I genuinely curious why so many cast with one and then switch over to reel in with that same hand. 🤷♂️
one year I was maintaining a booth at the fly fishing show in bellevue, gave my spell yo this nice old lady, she turns and leaves dragging her husband to come back and meet me, that was frank, a very special man

Inspiration right there.
I deployed twice, but never saw combat.
Now I spend my days fly fishing. Spend a lot of time on the Metolius River.

What a beautiful testament to life and the gift of the river.

South Oregon need a lot of help with Klamath River. Power Companies have a death grip on water and power !
Nearly dead, down to 3 %.
