Journals are one of the coolest parts of the Wilderness Forums. I figure I can't complain about the lack of them to myself if I don't participate.
Summer's been pretty slow for this guy, but we did get to try the Russian River madness.
Catch rate improved when I quit using the "Russian River fly" like Hup has said to not use on here before. That dang thing had to cost me over a dozen fish, loss decreased GREATLY when my made my own fly with a better hook.
Russian River; where you have to make a reservation to sleep on the ground, double check your change for the day parking you have to use because you didn't make a reservation, so that you can stand hip deep in the water watching poorly filleted carcasses drift by. It was a learning experience, but I think we'll try it again.
Hup, it was good to meet you in Seward! Better timing there will make for a better catch I guess.
Some of the bluberries are good in our neighborhood, we brought the bows as it was opening day for grouse and thought we'd get to try our hand at bowhunting.
Did get one camping trip in since the spring. Boys enjoyed throwing sticks on the water and shooting at them with the BB gun.
Oldest has been demonstrating good muzzle and trigger discipline, so I bought him a little single shot bolt 22...now if he's behavior would warrant getting to use it he might get a chance at a grouse!
Youngest turned one this past weekend! Cooked up a mess of caribou steak and vegetable kabobs.
My wife bought this baby thunder dome thing. Kids seemed to enjoy it.
Hopefully with daycare, kid's school, and work I'll be able to set a few traps this winter. Be safe out there!
