NM has a trout challenge or all 5-sub species (rainbow, brook, cutthroat, brown, and Gila) I got 3 of them this weekend cut, brown, and brook, Gila next weekend.

The pinks are in here in the San juan islands WA. Kids and tourists think they're real salmon, but they're a lot of fun to catch. Took the grandkids out yesterday and we had a blast. Hooked about 20 to get our limit of 8. Youngest grandson reeled in two when we got a double header, he was really into it. Smoking them now.

My daughters first ocean fishing trip while on vacation in the Florida Keys. Nice trigger fish. We ended up with a good haul and I cooked her the trigger fish that night and she now says it’s her favorite.

Those are memories that they will cherish forever.

Finished my NM Trout Slam with the last fish or the Gila trout.

My 8 year old was determined to get his CO trout slam this summer on the flyrod. He finally got a brown over the weekend in a small creek up by grandma and grandpas house. Pretty cool he did it on the first fly rod ever given to me when I was about 10 years old.

This July I took my 8 y/o boy up to Wyoming for a long week of fishing. We did a similar trip last year after I was 12 minutes late taking my COVID test at work (they gave me the next week off!). With more time to plan we were a bit more ambitious. We loaded up the dirt bikes and camping gear in my old Tacoma and made the 16 hour drive straight through in one day. Lil dude is a road warrior.

We spent a couple days camping near Cody with some friends who had quite the setup at a public campground--they hauled a full size refrigerator/freezer--had some of the best phad thai of my life, which seems mutually exclusive with sagebrush Wyoming camping.

Generally we'd drive to where the good road ran out, and then unload the dirt bikes and go up some more, and then get off and hike and/or fish up into the wilderness. We only saw two piles of bear shit all week which was relieving. Never competed for water with anyone else. Would spend all day out in the sun whooping it up together. Wilson caught all 4 species of trout and a whitefish on Rapala's, although most of the time he prefers to build driftwood navies and sail them through riffles for their sea trials.

We had one absolutely incredible day in a place that has become one of my favorites, with craggy peaks giving way to grassy foothills and a verdant streambed piercing the arid country. One hole I missed two nice fish right at the start, and then Wilson came in with his Rapala and stuck a couple. One large fish remained in view and we tried to catch him for 45 minutes, and finally he ate a big drake fly on it's maiden drift.

Around day 6 or so I realized we could live in a state of indefinite summer for quite some time. I didn't want to go home--we were in heaven having a ball together. And he was out there, doing it, sunburnt and bug bit with no complaints. He honestly didn't even slow me down that much. Towards the end of the day he'd always push me to keep going, "just one more fish Daddy!" with the sun falling behind the mountains and the bears thinking about stirring. It was a stark reminder that, like each day, eventually the sand will have all run through the hourglass, and that these are the times I will have cherished the most.

Does it count if I mixed up bowhunting and fishing? West central MN, from the front yard. ~31” unique bigmouth buffalo.

Limits on Pinks and Cohos every day the last 4 weeks in Puget Sound, 44 total now. And then there's the 104 Dungeness Crab. This has been a good year for gathering.

Edit to bump totals after the last 2 days and the end of the line for us.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday at the Oregon coast.

And don’t forget the crab.

Ling bite went from non existent to really good here recently, and a big grade… reminds me of mid April fishing. Tomorrow is the last day of the weather window but holy smokes has it been flat… freakishly flat (2’@15sec today)

41” fish from today

Where at? My dad lived up and down the Oregon coast the last 10 or so year of his life. He had a house in Waldport when he passed. We like to fish out of Depoe Bay a couple times a year.
