Watched three otters for an hour this morning along the Yakima in Richland. Big otter seemed to be teaching technique. They eventually settled in and chewed on a dead carp for a while.

From the reach museum in Richland. Muskie fossil from the Ringold flow geological period.

I prefer these standard outcast flippers over my force fins. I will use the force fins on lakes you can drive to( which I mostly avoid), but they are heavy and don’t fit in my backpack too well. The standard outcast are lighter, cheaper, stack together for transport, are easy to put on and have...
