Just a thought on something that has not been mentioned on the board. The west was on Fire BIGTIME this summer. Just starting to hear some reports on the actual damage and size of some of these fires. The Salmon river got hit pretty hard. I love that river.. I am hearing that it will never be the same at least for a long long time. In the long run.. it will be O.K

Leaves are turning..Its getting cool out, and the fish are on their way.. It could be worse

B-run,

Don't fret, the adverse effect will probably be rather short lived. I visited Yellowstone the year after the '88 fire, and it was amazing how much the area had healed. Some sensitive areas do take longer, a lot longer. I think the principle damage will be short term erosion into the river's tribs due to the "scorched earth." The other effects won't be very serious or long lived.

Yeah, it's got that autumn feeling in the morning air. Must be time to fish. "and if elected King, my first official act will be to declare that September and October shall last six months!" how's about that campaign promise?

Sincerely,

Salmo g.

Salmo.. I would vote for you !!!

Hey I have a better offer make me Dictator for life and I'll give you both cabinet post(for life) and we will control who gets to fish ,and October never ends.
