    Thanks. I'm blaming arthritis for that. Plus failure to review my post.

    Back in action.......finally

    Flash back to 9/30/24, when I fractured my hip and femur. Doc said six months to a year of recovery. Actually, it ended up being a little over a year. I saw the thread “First fish of 2025” and had nothing from me. But yesterday’s forecast looked good, so I went to my favorite put-and-take...

    Personal Pontoon/Raft on Car Top?

    I always let half the air out of the pontoons and then tied it securely to the roof rack with rope. Worked just fine, My fishing buddy thought just bungee cords would be sufficient until he saw in his rear view mirror his pontoon doing cartwheels at 70 mph on the freeway amazingly still...

    NFR Humor (No political jokes)

    Reminds me of Larry the Cable Guy. Talking about how a friend of his was moping around being really sad. Larry says "what's the problem?" He says I just learned I've been having sex with my second cousin. Larry sez, well if it bothers that much, quit counting them.

    Deschutes near Redmond

    Camped at Crooked River ranch and fished two places on the middle D. Did poorly one time but very well the other. Dave G seems to have the best idea and experience in this area. Fall river and Crooked river are both a bit of a drive. It's all pretty country so enjoy.

    Hot Sauce

    A few years back I had a cold but felt well enough to sit at the bench and tie some flies. Then while using both hands to carefully wrap a hackle, I sneezed creating a chaos of feathers flying all over the place. I suppose I could have been a little neater with my materials or even wore a...

    Bad cold or something viral

    Apparently misery loves company. I'm ailing too. Thinking it's just a nasty head cold. The older I get the longer these things last. The old "feed a cold, starve a fever " theory seems to be working too so I'm avoiding the bathroom scales for awhile until this passes. Sigh.
