That's a great pic. One worth printing and framing. Well done!

PITA carrying a big fish like that back from there...


Sliming up the shoulder is the way.

Couldn't get out to wet a line due to hospital obligations, but did get another chance to sneak out to the beach for another limit of razors... just in the nick of time.

South wind probably kicked up to 30-35 knots with stronger gusts as f4b and I left the beach this afternoon.

I saw something posted about sustained winds of 50-60 with gusts to 90+ mph on the OR Coast.

Close on our coast as well for the wind forecast ... 3 inches now here in Forks, and the winds are just really starting to go with some serious rain after a couple of hours of slightly mellower weather ...

3 weeks of blown rivers and no fishing. . .1 windy and rainy day on the river. . .and repeat. Oh the joys of fall.

That south wind that was picking up was the front of the system, it's howlin out there now. I'd bet those good showing clams are heading south right about now.

Cool pic!!

ok new background pixfor the puter--very cool--

Ray Troll-"walk softly and carry a big Fish"

I picked a good time to get my chicken wing fixed!

I won't feel so bad in PT today as the nice PT lady is making me cry in pain.....

What an incredible representation of our life in this neck of the woods. Love it!

we did ok sat found some willing fish. woke up sunday and just went back to bed and bagged it. although the rivers did hold out fairly well but after rowing sat i did not want to deal with all the wind and leaves.

Looks like the Bogy will be spilling over this evening, and will the Hoh top 30k? Nasty!

Time to head south.Good luck,
STRIKE ZONE

Here we go. . . .again. Now I can focus on my finishing fishing shack while the sky is still falling.

Yeah, time for some boat maintenance/upgrades. I wonder if November is over. If so, bring on the steel.

best is just arriving

Hoh's at 20,000, and rising.....Yikes!

There is not a single drop of rain falling right now ... but it did get with it the last few hours ...

Looking at the forecast on flows I am stuck as I am going to flood so............new plan! Got three bottles of Lady in Red, two books, one Patron, and girlfriend is dropping by, screw the weather.
