Sending the South Fork


My bud Des and I managed to squeeze in an overnight mission over to the S. Fork of the Snake last Sunday and Monday. It was typical October on the S. Fork, no crowds and good fishing.

Me, with a nice lil 'bow.

And yea, that is the old Squaw Valley USA beauty pageant staff issue. Jealous?


Right abut when you think you are doing something sweet, you normally get one upped... Well, just when floating down the S. Fork on a sunny day in October was floating our boat, then a pack of Cessna's came charging down the river buzzing the tower really low.


It's a rapalla, no, its a............"fish of the trip." Des with an absolute monster.


The "P. Slayer II" looking like the fine craft that she is. Sure a lot of you remember the "P.Slayer I", may she R.I.P of blog fame from years gone by. Well.....she sank to the bottom of the Grand Ronde River this summer out in Oregon. Luckily, I have a ton of really cool buds who were on that trip and helped to contribute to the purchase of the "P. Slayer II." So, to all you guys, big, big thanks, and come out to JH to take a float on your fractional ownership with me guiding!


We got into a pretty thick Blue Winged Olive hatch.



No competition for campsites when it is getting down to the low 20's at night.


Foggy river shots are cool.


Des, with a close second to the aforementioned........"fish of the trip."
