About Fly Fishing With Doug



This is a fly fishing companion blog with fly fishing tips and fly tying tips based on a soon to be published book by Doug Stewart. I love to fly fish and tie flies, and I like to talk about it and teach it. Hopefully, this blog will provide a means of continuing to do all of this with people I know and people I hope to become acquainted with through www.flyfishingwithdougstewart.com. I also enjoy writing about my fishing adventures and hope that people will enjoy reading about them. Of course, I am also building this blog to promote my books. My first book, “Tying and Fishing Outstanding Outstanding Flies,” was published in 2006, and my second book, “The Practical Fly Fisher,” is going to be published in February 2014.

About Doug Stewart



My dad started taking me fishing when I was about 12 years old, and I have been fishing and floating Oregon and Washington rivers and streams ever since. After teaching school for 15 years, I decided to turn my avocation into a vocation and opened Stewart’s Fly Shop. I enjoyed teaching classes on fly tying, fly casting, fly fishing and rod building for over 30 years. Of course, family vacations with my wife and four sons usually involved fishing and camping. Today, an ideal fishing trip would be drifting the lower Deschutes River and fly fishing for Steelhead and Redside trout with my family and fishing buddies, as well.
