Last fish of 2024

This redband took a top dropper soft hackle for my last fish of 2024. Only fished 65-70 days this year, we'll see what 2025 brings. Best wishes for playful fish, health and happiness in the new year y'all.

It snowed, it rained, broke ice on the drive in, my hands got numb/stiff, my feet seemed to get lost since I couldn't feel them afterr maybe a half hour in the float tube but still, it was fun! Last fish of 2024.

Happy New Year!
 
Last fish landed was this hatchery hen in late October. It should've rounded out a 3 fish limit - had I been willing stop fishing the best coho traffic jam I've experienced in years.

Hooked/lost a couple more before the run petered out. Last fish hooked was a black backed chromer that threw the hook during a classic coho aerial acrobatic display - at close range and eye-level. Won't forget that anytime soon.
