The latest high water episode is probably the stake in the heart for the last of the summer chums, sweeping out the debris for the arrival of the favorite son, the coho. We'll get excited about them soon enough, but there is still a little bit of the dolly fishin' to do. The time of the large is upon us, time to be meticulous about detail - orange and round can only get you so far. The big boys like their meals to come correct, and will give you nothin' but fin if you are fishing last week's shade in this week's water.
Matériel acquisition has commenced for RoadTrip '09 v2.1, D and the Narwhal ( or is it the Pinwhal?) are in the picture, as well as 6 days with Drifter the wonderdog. Word around the campfire is that the 2-hander will be the star in the Swinger's Ball all weekend, but we'll wait until plans firm up to get giddy.
Until then we'll be hunched over the vise, giggling maniacally and daydreaming about the ones that won't get away.
Shots from last week.
Brothers...or sisters. We didn't check.
One that didn't hear the Internet KnowItAlls advice that cutts don't eat beads.
...Aaaand another one that didn't hear the KnowItAlls proclamation that beads don't work when there are a lot of salmon eggs in the river.
Let the Coho games begin.
