If you love fishing in Oregon but don’t love spending a fortune on gear, you’re in the right place.
This site is all about practical, affordable fishing — the kind of setups, tricks, and DIY projects that actually work on our rivers, lakes, and coastlines. I test and share ideas that help you save money without cutting corners, from homemade tackle and budget-friendly reels to the best spots around the state for casting from shore.
But catching fish is only half the fun — the other half is cooking them! I’ll also be sharing simple, delicious recipes for the fish we catch right here in Oregon. From pan-fried trout to smoked salmon and fish tacos, these recipes are all about flavor without fancy ingredients or expensive equipment.
Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been fishing Oregon waters your whole life, my goal is to make it easier (and cheaper) to get out there, catch more fish, and enjoy every part of it — from the cast to the plate.
Here’s what you’ll find here:
Honest gear reviews that don’t push overpriced stuff
DIY guides for making or fixing your own tackle
Local fishing tips and seasonal updates
Budget-friendly recipes for your catch
Resources for finding low-cost or free places to fish around Oregon
If that sounds like your kind of thing, stick around — I’ll be posting new guides, recipes, and gear roundups soon. You can also join the email list to get updates when new articles go live.
Tight lines and happy fishing (and eating)!
