Eggs?

Lines arrived today. Thank you Evan!!

The topic of seed viability reminded me of this story. Pretty cool.

Not a live one unfortunately. My old neighbor’s feral cat ate one on my back porch in Burien years ago. Left the head and tail behind. I still have the tail. Soft and fluffy like rabbit fur. Apparently they are easy prey at night as they feed at ground level. It was cool to read up on them at...

That’s correct, east slope Morchella snyderi. Generally few and far between compared to burn morels but I prefer them to conicas for flavor and meatiness. Snyderi are arguably more of a challenge to find which I enjoy. Yeah, morels should be winding down on the wet side. Still plenty of time...

Bikini hatch

First of maybe only a few spring trips this year due to a busy life schedule. It was great to get out, although it appears things are a week behind schedule (for me). Found enough in my usual spots to keep me wanting more, but more didn’t really appear. That’s ok, camping was fun and there is...

Rainy day camp stew. Smoked sausage, lentils, canned butter beans, dried porcini base. Enjoyed under my big, beautiful blue tarp.

This bat gave us a show Friday night while camping. It circled the small creek pool next to camp, picking off bugs for about 15 minutes or so. Truly impressive aerial maneuvering while on the hunt. I believe it may be a Western Long-eared Myotis or a Western Short Footed Myotis. Pics snipped...

I was planning on attending this weekend but life has been absolutely crazy the past few months. Gonna go decompress and clear my head in the mountains for a few days. Hope you guys have a bunch of fun. Don’t forget the blue tarps! 😁

The bite has to be really bad for me to go to something weird/experimental if it’s a fishery that I’m very familiar with. If I don’t have confidence in my fly its harder for me to relax and have fun. It puts me into a mindset that I’m wasting my energy. That’s why it’s fun sometimes to fish new...

The fries were an interesting component for sure. We went to a dinner event a month ago where fries were served as well. The egg dish is called menemen. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, peppers, onions and herbs. The highlight was the black truffle borek (little cigar shaped pastries). The cook...

Turkish breakfast with some new friends yesterday.

Pan fried smelt with a couple of homegrown Cali artichokes (gifted from a friend).

Years ago I was fishing a well known Seattle beach for coho. There was a dead, hairless and bloated beaver bobbing around the shoreline all morning. No matter what happened with the tide it just stayed in my zone. I tried moving spots and it always seemed to be right next to me. It was like...

I’ll never forget the TSA agent that talked a bunch of shit about “A River Runs Through It” while x-raying my fly boxes. Didn’t look like he was having a fun time in the line.

Look what the cat dragged in this week. It appeared uninjured so spent the night in a cardboard box with some towels and a few grass and dandelion clippings. Someone who knows about this stuff better took over the next day. Hope it pulls through and makes it out ok. Death by cat is not pleasant...

If I wasn’t working tomorrow and dealing with some big time stuff I’d be interested. It would be fun to walk the sunny banks and look for early morels too. Have fun!

Takhlakh lake

Nice night to fire up the grill. Carne asada, frijoles negros, arroz espanol, salsa verde, queso stuffed aneheim chile.
