2. About Gene
This keeps him going stronger and harder and raising the bar to catch fish. Gene has
fished N. California rivers for 15 years before moving to Southern Oregon where he
has resided for the past 22 years. Gene spends most of his time on the Rogue,
Coquille, Coos, Chetco, Illinois and the Umpqua rivers persuing some of the largest,
brightest, and freshest king salmon in Southern Oregon.
During the Winter months Gene can be found fishing for steelhead in some of the top
rivers in the Northwest. Most of the Spring is spent on California's Klamath river
running spinners or on Oregon's Rogue river spinning anchovies for monster King
salmon. Time is also spent on the Umpqua river fishing for nice King salmon. Late
Spring and early Summer Gene can be found on the lower Rogue river catching late
springer salmon and early fall salmon trolling the Rogue estuary. In the Fall he turns
his attention to fishing all estuaries in Southern Oregon. In the late Fall he
concentrates on the Klamath river for an abundant amount for King salmon.
Gene spends time keeping updated with new fishing equipment and techniques that
will help to adapt and catch fish. Gene works above and beyond to fish for his clients
so they can go home with great memories and return year after year. He enjoys
sharing his knowledge with his clients and teaching them techniques they can use in
the future.
Gene was born and raised in Northern
California and has been fishing since he
was a toddler. He has spent most of his free
time in the outdoors and in the back
country enjoying some of the wild and
scenic areas not seen by most people. His
knowledge goes beyond fishing in most
fields.
With regard to fishing, Gene enjoys seeing
people's faces light up when they hook
their first fish.
