Favorite old scans

[skyriver]

Or a pic of a pic using your phone. I'll start with 3 of mine. Please pile on. Let's see who the scanners are.

My buddy Chris on the Russian



Me on the Deschutes Memorial Day in 93'



The 3 amigos in a blind on the Big C just downriver from Malaga. Probably 92'.



Let's see em!

Likely summer of 1987, on the back deck of my house growing up. Had just figured out how to catch planted trout consistently and posed for a hero photo:

LOL, that Sherpa lined Levi’s jacket was a favorite of mine for many years. I actually kept it as an emergency backup under the back seat of my truck until about 2-3 years ago. I was cleaning out the vehicle, saw it and decided to try it on. Sadly, it had mysteriously shrunk due to the extended storage time and was no longer wearable.

Grandpa with the bear that was getting into their apple orchard. Black Diamond late 1940s.

1972, 24 years old scouting goats in SW MT. Bagged a nice Billy 3 months later on the backside of the tall peak cross-canyon behind me. Oh to be there again . . .

First tarpon caught solo out of my new skiff. Homosassa circa 1999. Now there's a Chinese fire drill.

First bluefish - Grandma was there and dressed for the occasion.


I was so pumped when this Hells Canyon Kokanee ate a little yellow crappie jig.
