Dean Finnerty Discusses Steelhead Fly Fishing
 

Before becoming a permanent member of TU staff, Dean was a guide on the Umpqua and the Upper Willamette chasing steelhead.  

 

Dean calls the Umpqua his home river so many of the techniques discussed Dean has used successfully on that water.  Bring your questions about fishing the Umpqua and Steelhead fishing for Dean.
