Umpqua – Soulful Beginnings – the early 60’s
Umpqua has posted an interesting read about their beginnings on their website. I found it to be a fun read and I figured you would too. Below is a small exert from the story with a link to the entire post. There is also more to come on this story, so stay tuned.

Umpqua has built an empire in our industry, and it started with an A Frame Cabin on the banks of the North Umpqua River. Based on all accounts, it should not have happened. It was such an improbable story you could have never come up with most of it. Doing things that no one had ever done before, and yet, it happened.
In the process, Umpqua changed the way the fly fishing industry was able to scale and grow through the production and delivery of fly tackle and the highest quality flies, designed by Royalty Tyers. Umpqua is built on a legacy of innovation and has encouraged innovation at pivotal moments.
This is the Umpqua Story told by some of the people who were witness to the events.

Henry Winkler on the Wet Fly Swing Podcast

The Fonz himself was on the Wet Fly Swing Podcast recently!
Be sure to listen, because it is definitely interesting. If you don’t know, Henry is a die-hard fly fisherman.
Here is the brief synopsis from Dave at Wet Fly Swing about this podcast with Henry:
“Henry Winkler, an actor, author, producer, and angler, is here to chat about fly fishing, Happy Days, and his incredible life.”
“We find out what it felt like to get offered the movie, Grease and why he turned it down, how he got the role in the HBO show Barry, and how he managed to do great things while being challenged with dyslexia.”
“We dig into his books and movies – how they came to be and the inspiration behind them. And we discover similar truths about fly fishing and acting.”

If you are looking to book a smallmouth trip up in Northern Michigan, I highly suggest you get a hold of Jeff Marsh of Rivers East Fly Fishing. He has been dialing in this fishery for years and it will give you ample opportunity to land quality smallmouth bass.
I just returned from a trip to Michigan and had an awesome time on the river with Jeff! My son and I caught many smallmouth and even some pike.
Jeff is a certified Captain and knows the water well. On top of that, Jeff is a great guy to be around so you will definitely have a good time. So head over to his Facebook page and check it out!
