Christmas Tree!

Went out yesterday to procure the Christmas tree. It turns out it's insanely crooked, but it i snow lighted and decorated in preparation for the Christmas party tonight. You may notice the glacier glasses and ice ax--they were only for effect.

Lava Lake Lamb

Lava Lake Lamb, local meat source and a foundation that does great conservation work, has been nominated for a Youtopia Grant from Free Range Studios. You can click here to vote for them.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Fish and Beer

Local Silver Creek landowner, John French, has made it to Budweiser's Conservationist of the Year final selection. You can vote for him at www.budweiser.com. Enter your birthday, then click on Conservationist of the Year, and vote for John. John and Elaine French have done extensive restoration work on lower Silver Creek, my favorite place to fish Brown Drakes. If they win, they'll receive $50,000 for further restoration work. I guess if we drink more cheap beer, there will be more money for conservation projects!

Client Pics

Some clients of mine from September just sent some photos from out trip. It was a great day on the Lower Lost. It's nice to remember when it was warm!

M.I.A.

I've been catching unidentified saltwater fish in unidentified saltwater.

Even Martha Fly-fishes!

Even though she's in Montana.

Changing Seasons

Summer's finally over.

We've had a fantastic September with unseasonably warm temperatures, and the fishing has been awesome, but things are changing soon. On Wednesday, we're expecting snow, a high of 39 and deep freezes. Hopefully the cold weather will push some steelhead upstream and get the tailwaters into shape.

Looking forward to it.

The photo is on the Lower Lost on the property that I really want. Those pesky student loans always get in the way!
