A Little Suprise Today

With the kids heading back to school tomorrow, I took today off and we headed to a favorite wild place on Harpers Creek. As an after thought I threw in my 3wt and a fly box. I gotta say, waving that little rod around after throwing the 8wt in Alaska felt awkward. I told the kids to swim in the lower pool so I could fish the upper plunge pool. 3 casts in this plunge pool from a spectacular water fall and I hooked a nice 11" rainbow. He had a little girth on him, for a wild NC 'bo, actually pulled so hard I though it might be a small mouth. So why tempt fate, I put the rod up after that cast (well, truth be told, I had tippet on that was deteriorated and I lost my fly on the next cast)... Makes me look forward to some fall outings on these little wild trout waters.

Back on the Water

Just a little jaunt up the canyon... fished a rough & tumble section, lots of pocket water, lots of trees... nice to be back out.

Back from The Last Frontier

"Team Unguided" has returned from the wilds of Alaska with stories to tell, and hours of film to edit. The expedition was a resounding success and the fish were plentiful. All thanks to Mikey, his gear shop and hospitality was all one could ask for. I've never drank so many milkshakes!

Enjoy this teaser of the Gov, and more will be forthcoming. Oh, and Hondo the Mule is the newest "Oncorhynchus mykiss Club" member, congrats!

Salmonfly hatch 6-12

Ran up the canyon here, with kids in tow, and found the salmonfly hatch going on. Caught fish after fish, they were smashing anything! Fun few hours. Even had Noah catching a few.

well, what can I say boys? Amid rain and cold, we stuck with it and were rewarded for our efforts. Don't know if I can ever go back.. that would be tempting fate.
