January 3, 2007 ... Happy New Year! We are currently in the middle of an impromptu server change! While all static pages are operational now, most with dynamic content still need the DNS changes to catch up so everything can get configured. Look for some BIG changes to the forums software and the Gallery Section. Users may now create their own galleries in the Visitor's section by registering and uploading their favorite fishing photos. The Gallery is operational now, the forums will need another day or two.

Fishing trip booking availability updates: Wild steelhead 2007: Feb. and April, a few openings. Summer, 2007 Alaska: peak early run kings slim availability; peak late run kings, very limited availability; peak silvers, fair availability; off peaks, these are starting to fill as well at this point! A big push also for Washington 2007 fall salmon dates in the last week or so it's time to start making plans there as well if you don't want to miss the boat, so to speak :)

October 25, 2006 ... We've yet to see the issue or article, but word on our forums is that Steelhead & Salmon Journal has included Bob in their unranked list of the top 25 West Coast steelhead and salmon fishing guides. Quite the honor, thank you!

Mid-December update here: Bob is now going to serve as the new Freshwater Editor for the magazine, look for columns every issue!

October 22, 2006 ... Finally home from our annual Busman's Holiday chasin' steelhead!

Some great times with lots of old (and even a few new) friends and often some fairly decent fishing this time around on our month-long trip. Little Rowan got to spend her first days on the river as well!
