My ''home away from home''
Well I ended up sleeping at the office for the last couple days, ha ha! As fisherman we all know that there is something special about fishing the first, and last bit of light. The sun is behind the mountains and everything comes alive, the birds, deer, and sometimes the fish! After the blowout on Sunday, everything has dropped and shaped up nicely, and has brought in a fresh new batch of fish!

Strategy.....
Well, I never should have opened my mouth! When I went to bed there wasn't a cloud in the sky. At 2am I was woken by the rain pounding on my roof! Long story short the river had risen about 3 feet and looked like a coffee with 3 creams in it. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade they say! We poked around the mouths of a few feeder streams, and did a little exploring, but eventually we had to try the main stem. It was time for some strategy........HUGE profile Electrik leeches swung on short, light heads, right in to the bank in every little piece of quiet water off the main river we drove past. I love lemonade ;) and when a plan comes together! When we left this evening, the bad weather had passed, and the water had dropped and cleared a lot, should be a great week!

Good friends, Good food, and Good fishing!
I find it hard to refer to some people as ''clients''? I fish with a bunch of great people over the years that they become my friends. I know all about their families, their hobbies (other than fishing of course!), and their jobs, and they all seem to care about what's going on with mine! I really look forward to fishing, visiting, and sharing a few laughs with them a couple times per year. The last couple days were a blast! I can't put it into words very well, so just enjoy some pics of some Chinook, Bulls, Scenery, and some Sushi.... Yup that's right, we had the best fishing lunch that I can remember! Thanks Kevin.

Sun is starting to shine :)
Fished in some wet, cold weather the last week which has meant CLEAR water! got some great fish and saw a bunch of critters, elk, deer, bear, and even a big toad (or frog?). Finally started hooking some salmon, so with the warm weather the water should begin to get some color and we will be getting sore arms!

Final Destination!
After my previous post on Electrik Leeches, I figured you'd want to see them in they're intended destination! Several hogs couldn't resist them, and again I had tired arms, and a sore face from all the grinnin'! Got another pic of Momma and her baby for you to enjoy as well:)
