A flurry of nice fishing being posted with some changes at the top.  With the great weather I have a feeling next week will see many fish posted   Hopefully some halibut!  Good luck everyone.

It’s to see that there will be some great competition again this year! I’ve been stuck working on the house the past few weeks. We are hoping to finish up and get it listed by the end of the month. Hopefully I’ll gain some ground when I can finally get out on the water.

Please welcome aboard Fin and Fire fly shop in Redmond, OR, who will be sponsoring our Fly Fishing division this year! They have donated a $25 gift card.

They are a full service fly shop and additionally have hunting gear, Traeger grills, and 36 taps serving microbrews, cider, and kombucha - isn't that reason enough to stop by?  ;D

Their website looks great and they have local fishing information - check it out.

The King and Queen of BCS IV are making a move up the ranks.  It's worth checking out Ashley's Bull Trout.  Great fish and a prime example of what they should look like in a healthy population.  We're really fortunate to have a trophy fishery like this in the PNW. 

Shad are going crazy over Bonneville!  It's a good time to anchor up in a lane and spend a morning or afternoon upgrading AOTY points and gathering crab/sturgeon/halibut/ling bait.  Bring the kids.

Stopped by there this weekend. Awesome shop and great beer selection. !  Also caught a nice rainbow from the fly of the crooked river.

New sponsor on board! Check out Gator Guards. Justin did a write-up a while back of his experience using them. Word is it's working great.

Gator Guards is donating a couple of gift certificates to the prize pool. I'm looking forward to seeing some more kayaks with these keel guards on them.

Our good friends at Lancer Jigs will be sending some jigs to give away again this year. They are always so supportive of AOTY and happy to help. I just put in a big order myself to replenish our stocks at home.


If you haven't checked out their website in a while give it a look - new jig sizes and a fresh new website facelift!

Fall update.  Jed moved into first with a stout wiskerfish.  Casey is only 10.5 back.  Rolling into November the lead should change back and forth as they both post upgrades.   It should be an exciting finish to AOTY 2019.

Ah sweet! I love the last leg! Best of luck to everyone - tight lines, and keep safe as the temps drop.

Agreed. Ive been following pretty closely and am excited to see how it turns out. Both are really good guys and deserve the win. Maybe they will tie?

Casey has been catching some nice ones lately and is a new member of the AOTY 2k club!.  Jed is very close.  If he can find a 1.25 point upgrade Casey can show him the secret 2k handshake. ;)

Have a fun December guys.

Thank you! It’s been really fun. Jed is pushing me hard by being such great competition. I’m in no way comfortable and will not stop until the 1st. If only I could stop showing up to work until then!
Also, once Jed gets over the 2k mark he should wait a full 14 days to learn the hand shake since he’s so used to waiting a couple weeks 😜

BKG just entered a beast of a walleye.  The big girl is definitely worth a look.
