He looks like he was hungry!

Very hungry. Tough river to make a living on in the winter.

Went for a float last week. Caught a few suckers to fry up after the trash fish post.

Fall colors.
Even the river walleye.

Fish of the day.

I asked three guys in a nearby boat if one of them would trade their spinning rod for my fly rod, since they were catching fish.
We had tried a dozen flies and finally put on the flashiest fly we had to match the gold spoon the other boat was using.
Bingo.
Observe and adapt.

Cold, wet hands. Fingers numb and nearly functionless. It's official, winter fishing. My favorite.

Every year around March I get excited for rainbows running up the local tributaries to spawn. The first fish of the year was a damn good one.

Look away if dead salmonids offend you. Six hookups and four in the cooler.

Unfortunately an old pic and even worse it's my brother holding the best fish of the day.

The first two keepers caught at my new cabin after a summer of busting my hump getting the place in shape.

Put in a few hours this morning before beating it home for Cats game.

God I hate rainbows. But they make excellent bait for cats and lakers! Here’s a few of some better eating fish,

I wouldn't know about such.
Im not in the game for food.

After ten days of healing up I decided I was fit to shuffle down to the river to try swinging flies with the switch rod.
Pretty slow. Down river wind, which I prefer. Easy casting, and wet hands are somewhat sheltered by your body.
Walked up on big dead raccoon submerged in the water. No idea how he met his demise.
A few fish landed. This guy was strong.
Great holiday fish.
Hoping to fish the lake before Christmas if the wind is tolerable. 50mph gusts isn't worth it.
Hard to believe things are not iced over.
