If you pick a really crappy day to fish you might be rewarded.

I have thrown a lot of casts between this fish and my last one. A humbling number of casts.


A lot of pretty cobwebs on the riverbank and trails this time of year.




It was a wonderful morning on the river. I'm glad I got out cuz flows are going to spike for a while.

Just watched the Ducks win the final Pac 12 basketball tournament. Now off to the big dance. GO DUCKS !

Hmmmm.
Today take the dog for a 1.5 mile training walk.
Finish sanding paint/texture on a wall, prep for adhesion primer.
A 3 mile relax walk with dog.
Fix gas grill, wash dog blankets.
Kind of a slow day

Caught nothing here, swinging big things.


Did OK here, mainly trolling littler things.

I know where that first picture was taken, great spot!

Weekend was pretty good. I did take the kids out for stocker trout on Sunday. The fish had been in the lake about 2 weeks so I figured they'd be prime for trolling up. These flies I posted didn't do anything for us, although I only tried a green one. I got about an hour on the water with them which is pretty decent, and we hooked 2 in that time (on wee Dick Nites), both of which came off boatside, which caused a whole range of emotions in the crew. I think an indicator setup might've worked but I got all of 2 minutes of soak time before the crew asked to go back on troll. The snacks were a hit and we stopped by the river to throw rocks and stuff after fishing, and while we were walking out to the water, kid #1 told me it was shaping up to be a "top ten day" so I'll take that as a success.

Matt B - for the win!

A "top ten day" is serious business, well done dad!

Happy Easter all,
Kenneth

Lake fishing is starting in Montana.

Wasn't what I was expecting, but trying some unproven flies to encourage the trout I caught my largest walleye.
Fish tacos tonight.

... Good, I think, seems we may have bought a pond in the Poconos, oh, and it comes with a nice little house and a few acres. Made the offer Sunday evening, accepted this morning ...

CHEERS!!!!!

Congrats. I looked at a lot of places last weekend. So overwhelming.

We've been looking since last August, had several offers out, but lost to competing bids, now I'm happy about missing out on a couple, this place could be/will be special.

Hang in there!!

cheers

Thanks, and happy for you. Trying to move mom over, and we're looking for a place where we could live together and take care of her. Wife and Mom are really both good with it, but I'm shopping for enough room for all. Just can't find a duplex to buy.

First good weekend in 9 months. I didn’t work on our interior remodel over the weekend like normal as I retired and work 8 hours a day, M-F on it now.

Evening Mariner's game.

Fished a local lake Friday and caught some trout - all over 15". Saturday the lake was planted so no fishing for a couple of weeks. Instead power washed all the decks, patio, and walkways. Sunday is fixing some leaking pipes. At least it still involves water..

BTW I HATE plumbing. But plumbers are way too expensive for things that can be fixed as a DIY project.
