Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good
There is no perfect fly rod. There are just too many different techniques and types of water. But is it better to go fishing with a versatile, single rod that does a lot of things pretty well? Or to carry multiple rods so you can use the best tool for varying conditions?
We fish here so you can fish there

Umpqua Feather Merchants stands with TU on Lower Snake
“At Umpqua, we say we’re tied to the water,” Russ said. “Our love of the water is the constant that binds us all together. From flies to tools, everything we do is made for the water. The Snake is an iconic American river that once supported plentiful runs of salmon and steelhead. For decades now, we’ve tried to work around the issue of the dams with fish ladders, barges and a host of other failed alternatives. The fact is that we can either have dams on the Snake or fish in the Snake. We can’t have both.”
