Wedding Vids

Ya I know. Super boring but if I put these up here The Wife might be nicer to me.

Free Water

It is raining here in Bend. Like, Seattle raining. It rained last night too. I can't remember the last time it rained at night here. Years ago probably. Thunderstorms roll in usually every other afternoon and flood the streets (since we have NO storm drainage anywhere) but it is usually an hour affair and then back to sunshine. Not today. Guess the Sportster will have to wait another day.

Salmonfly Silliness

Went to the D with Whit and Code Red for a float from WS to TC. Around 600 boaters passes sold for Sat so we camped at the Riffle in WS Fri night and did a day float Sat instead of jockeying for a camp spot. Holy crowded!!!! And it was hotter than Haites.

Fished the Honey Hole Friday night.

The sky looked like this:


And the grass looked like this:


I caught some of these on dries:




Whit fished with one of these:


Then we floated Sat:


What to do when a jerk off is in almost every spot on the river?


Salmonfles were all over us:




They even wanted a hit off my PSD3 EL 2001:



But mostly they wanted to do this:



Which is fine 'cause Whit mostly wanted to do this:



But her methods didn't lead to this!



Or this!!

I'm Bringing It Back

Lacoste. Remember the croc? You saw it here first!

BIG ARREST IN THE WAR ON TERROR!

Bear Hunt Video

Ryan shot this video of the bear walking the beach towrads our position on a log several hundred yards down the beach. It got close and as it moved in range it slipped into the woods and came out literally right where the log we are resting on hits the woods. Ryan stopped filming literally 2 seconds before I shot and then the guide shot.

Auto's Laptop

Classic. Melted it by leaving it too close to the sun. Or something like that.

Snoqualmie Falls

Kito's Cave

Just getting the stuff together from the AK bear hunt.

The airport:


No way is Mike staying with the plane for 2 weeks here. He's getting the hell out as he worked here for many wet boozy years. I wonder if you can fill up your own plane in Oregon??


Here is a picture of a local dive bar in Petersburg where we landed. Kito's Kave. Buncha "Worlds' Deadliest Catch" types here.


And for rough love, be there Aug. 26th!


The lady in the place knew Ryan Green because she had lived in Bend years ago. Small world.


Sooutheast Alaska is always f'ing rainy.




The salon of the 78' Alaskan Grandeur. What a ship!


More after I do some work. Oh, wait, it's Friday....

Fishing Season Is Here!

Hit Steelead Falls on Tue and Benham Falls last night. Caught some trout. Salmonflies are still better on the Lower. Can't wait until next weekend!

New Flats Skiff

Well Queen Whitney got her red boat afterall. We picked sage green initially 'cause I said NO WAY to a red boat, all the time knowing that I was going to go behind Whit's back and change the color to red in order to suprise her. How good am I? She had no idea and was so excited to see the red rocket delivered last night. She's like a bull and I am the matador!

So, it's time to hit the water and catch some stupid freshwater fish in our new flats boat. I wonder what it will be like to pole this thing around the flats searching for tailing permit.
