I was thinking of getting one of those sea anchors for the same reason. Can you fill us in about those Loch-style paradrogues?

What were the mosquitoes like up there? I was thinking of doing an overnighter at a alpine lake in the near future.

“Why has the window smell stopped moving? I’m sad…”

Admiral’s Platter. On crack.

I recently learned it’s a sea-run trout, like a rainbow/steelhead. It gets its name, Sakura masu, because it ascends their natal rivers in the Spring, when the cherry (Sakura) trees bloom.

Mentaiko (spicy cod roe) pasta. Mochiko chicken in the upper right corner. Yoshoku cuisine at Chez Kenzo Bar and Grill in Honolulu, near Ala Moana Mall. If you’re ever on Oahu, I cannot recommend the place highly enough for the culinarily curious. The only place I know where you can get a...

Pig Caddis for a Pig ‘Bow! Thanks for the rousing tale. You earned that hog. Congrats! 🍻

True that! But much harder to do these days: I no longer have Rhode Island Red hens to tie flies from.

I've caught them in the past, but that was quite a long time ago. They were very tough to find and catch. And they were never interested in any of the flies that worked on the RBs and BTs. My best there was 16". I haven't checked the recent plantings, so can't speak to matters of holdovers...

Scored this in Hawaii. Japanese whisky. It’s about as good as the really good stuff gets.
