Fly Fishing for Bass with Colby Olson
 
Colby specializes in chasing smallmouth bass with large streamers on the Willamette river and its tributaries via drift boat. I prefer to fly fish for them, but conventional is available as well. Smallmouth bass are fantastic and often very aggressive. You are guaranteed a good time, whether we're throwing large streamers or top water flies. My clients learn modern tactics, tackle, and flies to jumpstart their adventure into bass fishing. This pursuit can really pay benefits when temperatures are far too high for targeting trout and steelhead, pivoting to a warm water fish allows one to keep fishing in the dog days of summer. 

 

Colby has been guiding for five years in the Portland area for trout, steelhead, and bass. I am passionate about chasing fish using flies, teaching casting fundamentals, and being a good conservationist.
