Well.... we didn’t publish an April issue of The Oregon Fly Fisher. Why??? Your Editor and VP Communications (Sherry) did not get started on the newsletter in time to go to print. So, instead of giving you all a limited quick issue, we decided to skip the April (Spring) issue and double up and combine the newsletter into one, so you are looking at the Spring/Summer issue. I sincerely apologize for the skipped issue and hope you enjoy this one. Thanks for waiting, Sherry The cover photo is an “oldie but goody”. Brian took this photo in 1978, about a half mile below the Warm Springs Bridge on the Deschutes River. It was a cover shot on the old Amato magazine – Fly Fishing the West in 1981. This redside was the most heavily spotted of any Deschutes trout he has ever seen. Thank You Brian O’Keefe for the cover Photo Check out Brian’s website www.brianokeefephotos.com Also look at his new on line magazine http://www.catchmagazine.net/ for more great photos.
