Title: Webinar from Profesional Guide Dylan Gorman
Post by: SD2OR on February 01, 2023, 05:56:15 PM
Dylan is a great guide, specializing in salmon and steelhead, mostly on the Alsea. He was unable to donate a trip to us this year, but offered to do a talk, webinar, or some such thing.

So my question is, how many of you would be interested in participating in something like that?

OK, glad there is some interest!

So, couple questions....

First, what would y'all like a talk about? Salmon, steelhead, or ?

Secondly,  I'm admittedly a bit of a Luddite, does anyone know the best way to do this thing? Guessing Zoom? I assume a question  and answer type deal would be preferable to something prerecorded?

Totally open to ideas and suggestions here!

I was hoping that someone more into webinars would reply before me….  I have only used Zoom and FaceTime - it’s not my thing either.

I’m mostly interested in the timing and techniques for the coastal salmon and trout species.  On his website it looks like he targets at least 4 species.  I’m trying to get my son (who lives in the area) hooked on fishing (again), and this fall was way different than previous years and I learned too late how I should have adjusted our locations - it is a new area for me.

If there aren’t enough people to make a webinar feasible, I’m fine with that also, now I know a good guide familiar with that area.

I'd like to learn some about the Alsea Tidewater salmon fishery.  I think Zoom may be the easiest way to interact with people.  Facebook live would work but offers less interaction.

OK, well, we should decide on a date and time to do a zoom meeting.

Dylan will certainly be able to answer your questions Zach!

My first time out with him, we fished the mouth if the Alsea. We got a double hook up within a few minutes of deploying our baits. We lost one, but then hooked another before the remaining nook from the double was landed. Both were pushing 20 lbs.. Despite a number of other boats, ours were the only fish I saw. To be fair, it was one fish per person limit, there was only two of us, so we weren't there long. Shortest guided trip of my life. I think it was about an hour, and the majority of that was just getting to n from the river mouth.

I know he does good on the steelhead too.

So what day of the week,  and time of day, would work for y'all?

I’m pretty open on day or time, though probably not 5 - 6:30 PM.
