Columbia River Salmon Fishing
Bio: Born and raised in Nyssa OR 32 years old
Graduated from Western Oregon University
Back story: Being raised in an area where many different species of fish were available, I would always dream of catching big bright salmon and steelhead. After completing my degree at Western Oregon I began to pursue that childhood dream. Before I knew it I was living my dream here in Western Oregon. I predominately fish the Columbia and Willamette River where I believe I have narrowed down the best times of year to fish with the best techniques. My goal as a guide is not only to provide the best experience to all customers of all experience levels, but to teach others the techniques I have developed as a professional angler.
Bio:
Denis is a life long angler who lives in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada in California. For the past 20 years he has owned and operated "Denis Peirce Flies" a wholesale fly distribution company, providing flies and fly tackle to retailers in nine western states.
In addition to his fly business he has hosted a local fishing radio program in Grass Valley CA for 19 years and has written a fishing column for "The Union" newspaper since 2003.
For the last decade he has specialized in trolling flies. He designed and markets the "Arctic Fox" line of trolling flies and tube flies. His web site: www.trollingflies.com has the most extensive variety of trolling flies on the web.
Kyle grew up fishing the rivers, lakes, and ponds of the Treasure Valley. Taught many types of fishing by his father, he took an interest in fly fishing during his school days. At that time, Kyle had the opportunity to participate with the Boise Valley Woolly Buggers youth fly fishing club, under the expert leadership of local legend Clayne Baker.
Fishing trips were a bit more scarce while Kyle pursued his business education at the College of Idaho in Caldwell, so he started learning how to really make them count. Add his taste for technology and eye for marketing, along with two very capable business associates, and the CommunityFishingReport.com concept was born; a website that aims to bring anglers of all kinds together and facilitate the sharing of up-to-the-minute-accurate fishing reports.
When not working on the site, CFR's founder continues to spend time doing everything from fly fishing the Owyhee River, to ice fishing Cascade Lake. Although he hopes to bring the CFR concept to the entire nation, his one true love will always remain the Treasure Valley and the cornucopia of angling opportunities to be found a couple steps off the front porch.

Neal Hunt is the president, and CEO of Soar No More Wingshooting Company—producers of the world’s finest pigeon decoys and columbidae hunting products. Neal was raised in Boise, ID where he was able to develop his love for the outdoor sports, specifically wingshooting. Neal has turned that passion into channels to express his creativity and into business opportunities, first through taxidermy, and eventually into the creation of pigeon decoys, and Soar No More. Neal is married to Shawny and has five adorable children.
Pigeon hunting is much more than just pass shooting. It has become the "newest and greatest wingshooting you can do in North America"(Outdoor Life, March 2012). It involves decoys, layout blinds, Mojo motion decoys, guns, and lots of shells. Not only does it provide year-round prospects to continue shooting, it also allows bird hunters opportunities to watch birds work the decoys, encourage youth to hunt, train their young dogs, and further hone your shooting skills.
Neal will share with you all the techniques of pigeon hunting over decoys including decoy placement, scouting, blinds, and much much more.
Since Neal Hunt was the first to introduce the United Stated to decoying pigeons and make it an actual wingshooting sport, he and the Soar No More Crew have been featured in a variety of outdoor media, including a major article in the March 2012 issue of Outdoor Life magazine. Outdoor Life rated pigeon hunting over decoys as "The Wildest Wingshooting in North America." Pigeon hunting is highlighted as a header on the magazine cover, and Soar No More was featured over a five page spread. Neal has been seen on the Sportsmans Channel several times hunting pigeons over the Soar No More decoys including the February 2013 episode on Mojo Outdoor TV and a future episode of "The Fowl Life" with Chad Belding. Neal has also been on several outdoor radio programs, including Kelly Outdoors and the Australian Hunting Podcast. Neal and the SNM crew are sponsored by Mojo Outdoors, Federal Ammunition, Kings Camo, Killzone Hunting, Montana Decoys, Trulock Chokes, Carbon Express, Snaro, And LowLife Lanyards.

Bio
Karl is the co-owner of Oregon Pack Works, a newly launched back pack and binocular harness company, based in Bend, Oregon. Karl’s primary career is a professional fire captain, and has been in the EMS, Structural, and Wild land fire-field for thirty years--starting out as a volunteer in his home town, Ontario, Oregon.
Karl started his hunting lifestyle at a young age following his father, a back country hunter who loved chasing deer and Upland birds. Karl took his first buck at age twelve while learning hunting ethics and techniques from his only brother-in-law, Bob. Those early trips supplied Karl’s formative years with the experience and mentoring needed to create an advocate of the wilderness. Each trip traveled just a bit further into the areas without roads, thus a back country way-of-life was created.
By seventeen, his first true back country experience resulted in one of the biggest bucks he’s shared in taking with a rifle, but with a memorable “stay outdoors all night, without a coat,” kind-of-story. Many of these “Oops” moments have resulted in many colorful stories of mostly “how not to do it!” Karl’s hope is to give you at least one take-home-lesson or tip.
Having “learned” from others’ mistakes, Karl has had no problem thinking he had “learned it all” from all those magazines we used to read. Now that he’s compiled thirty years of “miss-adventure’s,” Karl hopes his DIY “tips and how-to’s,” help those new to the back country, and possibly add something to the mix for that back country guy that, “knows it all.”
Karl has hiked and float-hunted for deer, elk, Caribou and traveled many miles by foot to find desert mule deer, and high country elk. While hunting Chukars is his passion, big game hunts are what carry him from season to season.
These days getting out for his passion, Chukar hunting or back country deer and elk is a challenge with two young girls at home and two jobs. But doing so just adds to the richness of each trip, and he hopes to offer the “ammo to go forth” with practical advice in order to “experience the things I have that have made my soul richer, and made me a stronger person.”
Thanks for your attendance.
