There are some great photographers on this forum and I would appreciate some opinions from you all. I haven't owned a camera other than the cell phone variety since I was a kid, Kodak Instamatic.. I'm not a tech guy at all and like really simple stuff. Thoughts on a straightforward point and...
Needed to be in Bend on Sunday, left home mid-day Saturday and returned today got in a couple quick evening and morning sessions in search of a summer run but alas no luck but it was really nice all the same, some pics . Sheep, snakes and turkeys Oh My.. not a rattler, maybe a gopher snake?
First salmon from the beach for me, went 3 for 5 this am, big shout out to all of you on this forum for your contributions they have been very informative and helpful as I dive into this beach fishery, Good Stuff!

Right hand retrieve, 3" Dia. Free to good home, it's been sitting in the box since it was made, I did spool on a bit of backing but never used as far as I know, unblemished.
If you want it send me a DM with name address and I'll mail it out.

Got out for a day and a half of on the water time on one of our open rivers. Spent the time Bush wacking solo under nice sunny skies with intermittent marine layer, rivers were low after a little bump last week but so worth it to get out.
