Hood River Steelhead

“I took advantage of the very few days without wind in Hood River, OR. by rowing my drift boat out of the local Columbia River Marina up the Hood River to land this summer Steelhead. It appears that a sea lion had nearly beat me to it.”
-Jeff Ferragi

Sockeye on the Talkeetna River

“In early August to celebrate my friend Tim’s upcoming wedding we ran the Talkeetna Canyon, the longest continuous stretch of whitewater in North America. After we finished our adrenaline laden heart pounding run on glacial fed whitewater we took advantage of the sockeye salmon run at Disappointment creek to feed Tim’s and Julie’s family and friends. We even contended with curious black bears who came to the confluence to check out our catch. It was quite an amazing Alaska experience to ride a remote and wild river as well share that with others in such a special occasion through the fish we caught.”
