Nice little cutthroat on my Big Creek 4 weight and 2 7/8 Winston Perfect And I got this beautiful 22" rainbow to rise to a size 20 trico dry! Colorado Steelhead! Mark

Also, by "Charlie rod"...would that be Jenkins? # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Petri heil! Kindly take a look at my angling art (and classic ephemera) www.michaelsimonanglingart.com

Thanks, Gary ... the weather and Lewis & Clark-like trudging notwithstanding, this was new water to us and as such we did have quite a wonderful time. Though those squaretails will wreak havoc on native greenback watersheds, they are certainly gorgeous and most entertaining when it comes to the dry fly. Largest brookie I ever caught was on a Wyoming high-praire pond and though the nineteen-incher's fight was akin to a bag of nickels, I don't know that I have ever caught (& released) a more beautiful fish. afgantrout wrote: Mr. Shoeless, Wonderful photos, as always. Who do you hire to follow you around that gorgeous scenary to document your catch? Also, by "Charlie rod"...would that be Jenkins? And thank you, Mike ... when it's not me behind the camera, it'll be my bottom-dweller fishing buddy, Scott. He works cheap, usually requiring only a few cans of our local 'Banquet Beer' ... and yes, the "Charlie rod" would be a GA70L that he made back in the early-eighties -- it's my one and only (at least for now) Jenkins rod and there's something almost spiritual about putting that rod through its paces way up in her home waters. Yesterday, as a warm-up for our favorite (fall) fishing season, we decided to grab a couple 'classic reels' and try our hand at fooling some wiley browns ... A couple of Mike & Kathy's South Creek gems ... a 7-1/2, 3/2 #4 and a fossilized-amber Lyons reel. First hole, second cast ... Sorry, no smile ... I gashed my knee good during the descent to this jewel of a stream and if not for Scott's cat-like snatch of the South Creek combo, I would have also gashed both wrists In a word, butter ... It's true ... we have whirling-diseased browns A typical Cactus Creek brown The Kingfisher begins to stalk ... A Winston 8' #2 and Hardy Featherweight in his hands is akin to dynamite in mine! Final fish of the day and leave it to Scott to catch a gorgeous bow in a brown-infested stream ... actually, I'm sort of surprised that it wasn't a nurse shark, cod or some other exotic fish cradled in his hand! Day is done ... well ... ... almost done If you never flew why would you cut the wings off a butterfly? ~ 'Lying in the Hands of God', by Dave Matthews

Posts: 2745 08/18/2009 14:04 Moderator	WOW....Great photos and stories ! Reminds me I need to get out more......it's been a slow month... No fish "landed" were photo post worthy but I'll add one shot from a recent float trip on the Namekagon in NW Wisconsin. I had a 1962 date coded Model 100 lined up on similar vintage Hardy rod with a musky streamer that when wet was like trying to cast a wet T-shirt, and a single action late 60s / early 70s Model 00 on a Hardy Fibalight for smallies. Got a few shots of the pair at rest.

searun	sorry...no wet t-shirts. Cutthroats, though!	#516	[url]	[-]
Posts: 155 08/22/2009 01:28	First "river caught" Searun Cutthroat of '09. Young 3-1/8" 15A, and W & M Granger Victory 8642: and here's a Westslope Cutt caught on the same combo from Rich's neck of the woods (S.W. Alberta). Rivers were high and colored up when we were there 10 days ago, but oh what beautiful country:

Posts: 33 08/22/2009 03:02	Hi Searun, Nice picture shots. Love the Searun Cutt with the red agate Young. How are you catching them in the river with all of these humpies around us? That's a nice sized Searun though. Matt

Posts: 156 08/22/2009 16:34	Thanks, Matt. Was out on the south sound the other day and the pinks (humpies) were everywhere - absolutely thick with them. Tough to get them to bite the day I was out, though. Some guys are doing well on them when they don't have the typical "river staging lockjaw syndrome" salmon can get. Have you been out after them yet? There were no humpies in the particular stream where I was fishing - yet. Greg

Posts: 34 08/23/2009 01:22	Hey Greg, Up in the North Sound, the Pinks have been showing up in big numbers this past week. It should be good for another month for them. Silvers are starting to show too. We've been after them in the Salt around Fort Casey in a boat. Been doing well and smoking them up. Pretty much shoulder to shoulder fishing from the beach. I'll try my home water on the Skagit during the week for them along with the Searuns. I'll have my 6 weight Tom Fulk Boo he made for me this Summer and with your inpiration, I'll have my Young 3 1/8 red agate reel that I bought from Richard this past year. Pictures to be posted soon. Matt
