About Eric

Hi all, my name is Eric Thomas and I love to fish. The main things I like to fish for are salmon, steelhead and trout. I have been fishing for my whole life and have loved it since day one. I am 16 and I'm working towards becoming a full time guide one day. The past two years I have started to really grow as a fisherman and have acquired many guide skills. With this blog I would like to help me readers gain the proper knowledge to learn how to fish or get some reports on where to fish. My home rivers are the Clackamas and Sandy rivers and I have fished the Nehalem Bay heavily this year (both the jaws and up by Wheeler) with great success. I feel that in becoming a guide I need to get my name out there and this blog is one way I plan to do so. In my reports I plan to give you some basic information and not all my secrets ;) and also I will post some tackle tips like how to tie up various jigs or rig your rod for specific fishing situations. In this coming 2013 season I plan on learning the Willamette at O.C. for springers, Tillamook Bay and its Tribs for Fall Nooks, Coho and Steelhead. This summer I plan to go to Alaska and get my feet wet in the guiding business; maybe also make some money along the way. I hope you all can maybe learn something from my blog and maybe I'll see you out on the water sometime or possibly be your guide in the future. Enjoy!

P.S. That is my uncle and best fishing bud (next to my dad) creepin' in the back. lol.
