Umpqua cast-n-blast with Ron Peach

The lower Umpqua yesterday evening.

Yesterday, I spent the first of four days hunting and fishing with mid-west outdoor writer Ron Peach.  He came all the way out to Oregon from Kansas to hunt ducks, geese and grouse and to try his hand at fall salmon.  We spent an amazing fall day on the lower Umpqua.  We hooked and lost a coho or two and Ron ended up with a limit of mallards.


A few moments after this photo was taken Ron got his 7th mallard, another gorgeous drake!

Ron writes primarily about waterfowl hunting at various locations around the mid-west and east coast.  Check out this story; http://www.wildfowlmag.com/tips_strategies_tips_for_setting_up_a_waterfowl_hunting_camp_102910.html

Today we're heading for the high country.  I'm taking Ron up into the Cascades to find some Blue and Ruffed Grouse and maybe even a fall Black Bear.  Tomorrow we're back after fall salmon down on the coast and then Wednesday we're back to chasing ducks and geese.
