Fishing

[dux]

Just got back from two long weekends of fishing/brown bear hunting.
Caught an ass load of Halibut + King Salmon and glassed 19 bears.
Saw 3 shooters over 9' but they don't get big by being stupid.

I think halibut on the grill is about as good as it gets!!
If you ever want to trade some walleye for halibut let me know
Someday I'll hopefully be living in your state? Been there twice and it's the only vacation I've been on where I really didn't want to come home!
Sounds like you got into the bears good!

6 weeks later: "fought the fucker for over an hour before I reeled him in...an epic, titanic struggle, bastard pulled a guy overboard while I was taking a leak...you should have been there!".

Yeah, Uncle Sammy sent me here in 77 - I fought it all the way only to realize it was what I was needing in my life the whole time.
Nothing like the mountains.
Nothing.

Bass were biting at my pond Saturday.

On the way out, I stopped to police up a old bucket that's been there I bet for 20 years, the ground wasps stung my ass up.

Hung out on the North Fork for a couple hours the other day - tossed a few spinners. All I caught was a buzz...

Gonna try again next weekend.

Just got back from a 5 day fly fishing trip. Caught a bunch of nice fish. Most in the 2-3 lb range, a few up in the 5-6 lb range.

These fish fought crazy hard. It was nothing for a 3 lb fish to run deep into the backing. The biggest I caught was probably 30 yards away from spooling me completely.

Yeah buddy! Slayin those fuckers. Were you on a 5weight? 3x leader?

I just got back from a local lake and had a slayfest. Exploding on dries. Best day of my season so far.

Yes sir, I have a 5wt and a 6wt that I fish, but 3x leaders all day. I was hoping to get into some solid chironomid fishing, but there was no hatches happening.

Most of the fish were caught on micro leeches, fished under an indicator. The traveling sedges had just started to show up on our last day.
