Amazing fish, fabulous art!

Looks like someone is a ladies man.

We matched that Sat,afternoon thanks to btb

Good-lookin' haul there.... Good to see so many hatchery chromers this late in the season. We ain't done yet!

I just tried The Judge 2 weeks ago. Wow, Coho hate that thing.

Sweet, sweet photo. Would be a good one for your iPad wallpaper.

Show off.

The photo is missing the bottle and glass of scotch.

Nice photo. But upon close examination Im wondering what river around here has wisteria, two kinds of japanese maple, ginko, and oak leaves along a riparian zone to wash up on a gravel bar to create the frame those beauties. Yard shot? Nice work regardless.

Your a pretty dam good arborist ... you nailed each species PERFECTLY!

Very nice !
Light years ahead of the ghetto-variety yard and kitchen shots !

nicely presented photo Doc. Did you fish with Larry Dahlberg? I see what I think is the plastic wrap and label on the cork on the rod in the right, a famous Dahlberg move....


Very nice!

Yeah the wrap is still on the cork of that glass rod.... FethaStyx attempt to resurrect the old school Fenwick FS83.

Sure would make a nice notecard,email me andI will send you the instructions I use in the digital classes I teach.

45 years ago, that pic might have looked more like this....



Of course these were most likely wild since no one was clipping fish back then. Funny how I don't see any adi-fins when I click the full size image on PB. More on another thread.

The "fall collage" of colorful foliage and chrome coho has been a fNp staple for the past half dozen years. Sadly, this year's rendition of fall colors looks more like this.



Definitely lamenting the absence of chrome hatch coho to complement the backyard pallette this year. Can only hope for better next year.

In this case, AHFAD.

All hatchery fish are dead.......

But it's good to hear that coho fishing on many/some Gray's Harbor tribs have re-opened.

I'm somewhat optimistic the coho returns won't be quite as bad as folks think. The high water brought in alot of fish. Hopefully that will be enough for the hatcheries and the spawning grounds. But it might be too little, too late for the sport anglers.

I had also missed your fall coho collage. It has been my favorite fish picture on this board. I guess hope springs eternal. If you look at the PDO for March-July of 2015 it says that the 2016 coho run could be worse off than this year.
