Haven't gotten it yet, those were on the old Sage. Ion is for the gators. ;)Quote:

Took a 30 minute mental health break and tossed some lines in the brook adjacent to my office.

I have had zero luck with flies, so out of frustration, I threw the watermelon rooster tail. BOOM!
You sure that's not a chain pickerel?
oops! You, sir, are correct!

It's not often that I get to fish for these guys and it's something I really enjoy. I would like to get back up your way this Fall though, maybe do some streamer fishing with you and snapt.
Thanks dfinn. I've been checking flights into Lewiston the past week. Hoping I can swing it.
Picked up a new #5 Redington on sweet sale @ Trustworthy the other day. I think it's a good one, and my phone cam was impressed all to hell...
Had way too much fun catching these little guys on dries today.
Some of the prettiest fish I've seen.

My mom loves to fish, so it's become a thing when she visits in the summer...
41#, 58#, & her 78# king (aka "Elvis")... hella trip on the Lower River with Mark Glassmaker a few years ago...
One of easily a dozen doubles beading the Middle River early this month with the best trout guide on the Upper/Middle Kenai: Matt Rima @ the 'Cache.
DUDE! Nice one on the Big D!! Not too many of those get landed, huh? Any steel landed too? I so so miss fishing that river!
Thanks for one of the most stoked threads on these forums!
I went fishing a lot more than my camera did, but here's a meager contribution :

solid beard. thanks for the stoke dudes. I should get out onto the Olympic Penninsula and add to it in the next few weeks.

Yo Liddy, was a pretty good float, visit was 2-3 feet and the river uncrowded. Went 4-5 on chrome, with 1 bonker. That Chinook fought like a champ but ended up destined for the smoker.
Some say the centerpin should be outlawed, along with the bead, the bead jig, paladins and articulated leaches, and obviously all spinning gear as crass and unsportsmanlike.
