We always look forward to a little kayak fishing for smallmouth bass on the John Day River. It’s about an hour’s drive from the WatermanAtWork west coast production facility, so we try to hit it whenever we can. The John Day is one of the best places to fish for smallmouth bass in the entire … Read more

We were out and about on some of the more remote sections of PacNW singletrack, checking out trail conditions and doing a little trail maintenance.
