The Bulls on bamboo were fun.
Gonna need a bigger net
No single fish stands out but this trip definitely does. The most and largest SRC I've ever caught in one place, and a mountain of coho:

Southern Vancouver Island beach fishing
Just got to the island and I'll be cruising around Victoria and west, as well as the Gulf Islands, for the next week or so. Got my 6 and 8, floating and intermediate, and looking for src and/or coho. I'm going to the local fly shop when it opens but if anyone has any beta they want to share I'd...

Lots of great variety this year. The spice, as it were.
My pocket computer says I caught this fish at 9:30 on 1/2/22. Not a bad start.
And I caught this fish this afternoon, today, so I guess my year has come full circle.
Some highlights in between:
Springtime warm water at Pops’ cabin in the Carolinas.
@Paul_ ’s flies put to work in the Columbia basin.
Desperate for sun in June, back out to rattler country for bass:
How did that get in here? Interesting year huh?
Gettin’ Pops on fish in Idahontana:
Gettin’ the boy on fish in the Cascades:
Smile! A fly tied looong ago killed it this day.

That not a fish. It’s some new, northern hemisphere, freshwater river dolphin…
Very different fish from very different places...
Crawbugger
Steelhead
That dog toothed Snapper though! That’s the fish.
Favorite fish of '22 by far is the wee man getting his first fish on a fly rod.
My favorite of the year is a brookie that my 10 year old daughter caught. We went backpacking on Father’s Day weekend and it was very cold and nasty. She’s a fishing nut though, so between snow flurries we would head out. I went back to our site to get her a new spinner, and heard her yelling. She had grabbed my fly rod and caught the best fish of the trip. As it was starting to snow again.
I love that girl
As usual, the little weasel!If im not mistaken, she outfished you on this trip to?
That's what it's all about.

Didn't get to fish as much as I wanted to in 2022, but then who does? Memorable fish/moments from this year that will stick with me.
Another early spring in Central OR with my father.
Columbia Springer. Yummy for my tummy!
good fishing on a spring day with Rod.
Bang bang, a mess of rods, line and two in the net. BC bows for the smoker. Shit eating grins = priceless!
BC quad hookup.
Ira guiding us into a PS Coho double. Mine was smaller
Local hatchery steel for the BBQ. Fine fall day and didn't come across another fisherman.
Fatty Wahoo off the big island. Man that fish was fantastic table fair.

Happy New Year!
