    Temporary river fishing

    Well I guess my secret is out. Some of the hottest fishing I've ever had has been in the fall when the lakes have been drawn down and the cold clear creek water is pouring in. And no I'm not going to name any of those lakes. Another secret I'll give to you is when the river is blown out and...

    Rod Overboard

    Good luck finding yer rod. This reminds me of an evening fishing a private lake in Okanogan Co. WA. I had rowed the boat to shore, laid my rod down with the fly still in the water and just as I went to step out, bang the rod jumped into the lake. Just a reminder to never let go of yer rod when...

    Did you leave something on the boat ramp…

    I wasn't there and I can still find my ass if I use both hands. When I was a teenager I lost my hunting knife, the very next day some miles away from where I lost that knife, I found another hunting knife that was better. Sorry about the side track. Getting side tracked is easy for me these days

    SFR Waders for Women

    I think that Redington has the best selection of waders. For myself and my lady I have found up sizing is better than sizing to fit. One size up will give ya better movement. Also one size up on the wading boot also

    Scouting trip

    Thanks for posting pics of some of my favorite spots when I lived in Central WA And as for the warm ditch I miss it. I could go there and catch fat RB's until I couldn't lift my arm, or times where I couldn't buy a bite. During upland bird season, go blasting in the morning and casting in the...

    SFR Protect your fishing mojo. Sorry old friend, RIP.

    I'm really sorry for the loose of yer cap. You won't get over it, but you have to move on. When I got my new PNW cap I caught my first fly caught steelhead, alright a new lucky fishing hat I said to myself. As it turn out that hat was not so lucky after that. Another short story. I was at one of...

    High Sierra prospecting and fishing.

    Many years ago when I had permits to dredge in the Wenatchee river I had an experience I would like to share with you all. With a little work with a shovel and pan I discovered a seam of mud in-between the sandstone bed rock, I could see the flacks of gold in the mud. The next weekend I got my...

    High Sierra prospecting and fishing.

    Good report. I'm an ole prospector, fish and gold go together like PB&J. As I have gotten older, I don't go out prospecting or fishing without my wading staff. What happens to me is when I stop to cast and let my staff hang is when I have gone down. I try to never go deeper than knee deep when...

    How about $5000.00 There is a story behind that price. That is the price of the stub fee for his grandfather. Grand champion field trials and top dog hunter.

    AKC Golden Retriever puppies

    There is only one left. For years now I have told people that the last puppy to go is the best, and I think it is true. After a round trip to Coos Bay we sat down in the shade and enjoyed the view of Mt Scott. I will miss raising Golden puppies. After more than 30 yrs this is the last puppy to...
