Just got back from the Situk! Water was at 452 CFS😳 Never seen it this high during the first week of May! Tough wading! Still, it was nice to be back in such a beautiful place. I love looking at the Mount Saint Elias range!

Well, I finally did it after 25 years (I built a new website) www.d-ray.com
The old site truly was behind the times in this everchanging world of website design and optimization. The new site is a simple design which has links to my Instagram, YouTube, and of course my page. Interested in booking a trip? This website makes it easy and seamless!
Also, checkout the Christmas Island link👍🏿
Thank you everyone for your continued support throughout the years! I’m looking forward to having some fun, and sharing some fishing knowledge this summer!

Okay, I'm now done thinking about the tropics and saltwater fishing....not. Lol!
But, since spring steelhead season is just around the corner, it's time to get into cold water mode again! Polar fleece, gore tex waders, and fingerless gloves are now what I'll be living in! Those steelhead though.... #
