Awesome story Shawn Looked like you had a small traffic jam while towing the plane. Hope to see you in October with Steve to shake your hand and thank you for convincing WDFW to extend Mineral 2026 fishing season.

Fine... Frankenkara. Today it took me 2 hours to get my first strike. Meanwhile Steve released 6 before my first fish went into the basket. Another excellent day with our Frankenkara's and pushing my fishing experience beyond anything I considered normal.

Geez Hobbyranch, my fly tying bench and all of my bamboo rods just shuddered and blushed a little bit.

Sounds like fun. I tried sand shrimp for springers one year on the Sul Duc but caught a wild steel head. Released it, but ended up using 1/4 oz jigs to catch a couple springers

Well, actually it looked a little more like a 2 tone orange micro leech on the end of a Tenkara but I still put 9 into the basket.

Hell Yeah! Looks exactly like my 2 throat pumps last week

Steve WOW, I tried aggressively to compete with you this year and did better than last year. You are definitely a force. I tip my hat to you. Not to concede the victory you already knew was yours but graciously thank you for your willingness to help me improve on every possible aspect of fly...

Never thought of fishing Ward. Mostly a drive by on the way to more fun Munn. Did not know Ward was almost double size of Munn measuring ~ 66 ac. WDFW claims Kokanee up to 15". Probably standard 9 to 10 inchers but 15 if you jump up and down on them. Just might need to check Ward out one of...

Merry Christmas. "God bless us, every one!"

Stacy you might be onto something with the camera thing. It occurred to me with the winter solstice so near it might be impacting lunar bi-lingual twisted hyperspecial magnetic spheres which directly impacts the camera refractive index making RIO 5x tippet look like wire rope. Earlier this...

Man, that tippet section in that pic does look like wire rope from the Tacoma narrows bridge. I had to check the rod. It's hard to believe but it is 5x.

December skunk is off. Orange #14 Paraloop fooled this fish. Released another 5 on #12 orange micro leech and broke one off. I figured out how to catch more fish than Steve. Just go fishing when he stays home. WoOt!!!

Emergers and soft hackles on the floater just didn't work for me today so I went back to what works

Nice work out there today, Steve. I managed 2/6 but really nice healthy fish and a solid hatch today. Orange soft hackle #14 was my champion today.

There are a lot of tutorial videos available for the Garmin Striker 4. I found this guys operational videos to be pretty good. Think he has 4 or 5 videos devoted to the Striker 4.

Man the bilge pumps.

Local lake blue floaty hole with an orange bodied para-loop emerger. December is mine. Oh wait, it's dang cold, drizzle misty crap and rain. Almost no bite and super finicky fish that disappear with barely any sound or rod movement. Man, I can't wait for spring.

Bambooflyguy and I hit Mocrocks Beach about 11:30 looking for red tail perch and razors. Fished until 3:30 using razor clam necks for bait. Trick I learned from Bambooflyguy. Think we ended up with 8 fish between the two of us. Went to the truck and traded our fishing rods for clam shovels. Not...

Congratulations on the election win and WDFW win. I think it's awesome that you followed through on the WDFW process. And won!!! And yes, Steve and I will definitely be one of many individuals who benefit from the extra month of Mineral lake fishing thanks to your efforts. 2026 More Browns -...

Fishin’ Butlers. Ok that is funny.
