weather change in the canyon....

or rather what the weather should be this time of year.....

I really wish there were fewer people here...



But, I had to make the best of it...




Camp Water....produced.



I ate and drank well...



Night was cold, but cool...



Found a good number of players....but alas, no short-fin grayling.



Decent view....I guess....lol



I even made it to my favorite run and managed to tip my glass to this man's best friend!



oh well.....cheers!

Wtf no short fins? Yesterday I couldn’t keep them off my line. I had easily 20 to the net before I got a red side.

I switched up my rig today and the numbers flopped which was nice.

Yeah, my go-to short-fin run only put out a massive B-run steelhead that kicked my ass. After that, I called it a day and came home.

That campground was a tad busier in May during the stonefly hatch….

It wasn’t too bad during the week, but it started to get busy on Thursday so I headed home. Being retired, that is my mode of operation.

I grew up 15 miles from the brewery next time I go to my parents, I should take orders.

What the hell, Oregon must have some sort of Pliny trade agreement in place with CA. IT’S NOT FAIR!

I went to give a love reaction to your listing just for the Prius, but then I saw the scenery, something other than Seahawks, and fish. Well done Clarkman.
