IF YOU ARE CLAYMAN DONT READ THIS THREAD

Chris is the guy that shows up at a new spot (for him) and proceeds to outfish the local crew! Maddening and inspiring at the same time. Thanks for all the great stories and intel on how to catch more fish and different species!

Best of luck in the wilds of Oregon Chris!

thanks for helping to change the way I approached angling, it's been a slow evolution, but thanks to your knowledge and your generous sharing of that knowledge I've learned a tremendous amount.
Thanks to you I have:
1. my first winter brown trout. Catching a monster in 17 degree weather was possibly a once in a lifetime experience now that we are getting snow again in the winters.
2. dramatically improved Kokanee fishing thanks to picking up the habit of learning lake/species biology and applying that knowledge.
3. discovery of a whole new style of fishing which has turned into a favorite technique (jigging of course!)
Cheers and good luck in Oregon

Nothing like that morning cup of coffee reading a Clayman report.Thanks for your generosity.

Chris ...Are you peeking?  Don't peek yet dude... Come on knock it off...................

The fish in Oregon shall know thy name! Clayman the slayer!!!

Could not have said it better, but while I was enjoying that cup of coffee he was making new reports  . Thanks for everything Chris, your friendship, knowledge, and everything in between. Caught my P.B. trout at Almanor @ 7.3 lbs. because of you and owe you big time. I may be passing trough Newport in August, by then you should have it down to a science  . Guide service ?...

Happy trails and tight lines...

Thank you for not only showing us pictures of fish, but also for educating us. I have learned so much from you and look forward to your next adventure.

What can I say about the man that has not been said already? Thanks for teachin us how to fish for BIG fish!
Thanks for the newly established family tradition of camping at Almanor over Father's Day weekend, and fishing the Hex hatch. Some of the best memories we have had were up there!
Find out the 411 in Oregon, then we can do a NCKA hookup in Oregon!
Good luck buddy 

I can't thank you enough for giving this newb tips on what to look for when hunting trout in your local lake.  I wish you the best of luck in all of your future Pacific Northwest adventures.
