See, he likes Steelhead...

Could this be more perfect?

In Search of Carp....

Remains a search so far this year.   The unseasonably cool weather has delayed their flats deployment in search of crazy carp sex.  Thus, our first trip turned into mostly a scouting missing.

No big deal.  We'll be back.

Inland Northwest Bonefish....

Probably shouldn't have a problem eating this.   The time for tailing carp is upon us.

Fear The Beard.....Costa Rica Edition

The Costa Rica Challenge from N.S.A. on Vimeo.


Marc Crapo and his buddies...at it again but this time, far from Idaho and their usual haunts. 


I think I'd like to fish in Costa Rica.  Kinda looks fun....times 10

If you like Salmon and Steelhead...

Monday's a pretty big day.

Wonder why our returns have been so good in recent years in comparison to historical averages?  Judges have ruled that it's a pretty good idea to let a river like the Columbia to behave like, whaddayah know...a river.  Spring time flushing of smolt downstream have helped immensely in getting the little guys down the gauntlet of dams on their way to the salt.

Monday, May 9th, a federal court in Portland, OR is going to rule on the Obama administrations recycling of the previous admin's Biological Opinion in setting salmon protection and restoration policy for the Columbia and Snake River Basins.

If you remember correctly....it's not the most sound policy.

If you like Salmon and or Steelhead, get off you boot and get involved.  Take your time and go to the Wild Salmon Coalition web site and figure out what you can do.   Trust me, they'll put you to work.

Keep your fingers crossed for Monday, because its a big day.

Show Me The Light....

I have a strong and distinct feeling that I am missing some great reads out there.  

Here's what I need some help with.  I need some new blogs and reading sources to add to my list.

Know of some that arent on the "Sweet Reads" section to your right on this internet outpost?   If so, drop a comment below and leave me a link. 

Show me the light, as I'd sure appreciate it.
