Residing in Oregon, John Shewey is a life-long devotee to fly fishing, wingshooting and the outdoors in general. His annual travels take him all over the West and to his favorite haunts from Alaska to Mexico. Having fished for virtually everything the West has to offer - from surf perch at sea level to golden trout at 12,000 feet, John still gravitates towards his favorite summer steelhead streams.

"Summer steelhead" is a broad term in Oregon. Chrome-bright fish enter Oregon's countless coastal streams from July through November, constituting a five-month "summer season." Shewey pursues these magnificent wild fish with his elegant flies, many of which have earned national prominence. John has penned numerous articles for fly fishing magazines and to date has published nine books on fly fishing and one on wingshooting. His titles include Northwest Flyfishing, Trout & Beyond; Flyfishing Northwest Waters; Mastering the Spring Creeks; Oregon Blue Ribbon Fly Fishing; Washington Blue Ribbon Fly Fishing and Fly Fishing for Summer Steelhead (co-authored by Forrest Maxwell).
