Yea I set no major goals in the ammount of fish I catch.I grew up with family in the fish business.I love to fish for my own personal relaxation.Curado said it perfectly.Catching is the bonus.The real pleasure is being there.

I'd like to catch at least one of each in '09: Coho, Chinook, Pink, Chum, Sockeye (any suggestions for this one), Steelhead and Searun Cutt. And maybe a masu salmon if I can figure a way to get over to Japan. Perhaps a dolly too if I can find one that's not endangered.
Certainty is for those who have learned and believed only one truth...

Break out the Black boots call the kitties you win!!!!

Winter fish might be chrome with a trace of red on the cheek plate /full bodies and mission and goals not yet meant.:-$
Spawners in the river and 1 or 10 fish dont make that your goal your young blast out that punch card in 2 months!:bball:

Saturday the 31st and week=ends suck but meet us at Denneys were heading up for some chrome wild hogs and they might shut down the local rivers Feb 1st so Saturday will be the finish for Chrome/Showtime:cheers:

Meet us kid:chef: will do are best and you will not bring a spawner home from last summer ever again!

Good job Curado:compress: and press the Jungle the outside and inside edge
and just up the Sky side from the mouth of the Wallce where it touches the Sky fish around the bend and in front of those mayor log jams you will find metal and tell your bud good job on the Puffer stick as well.
This is just up from that dead center off the mayor flows and shallow he was coming up fast/finish him

Well, there's many other places aswell. The Sauk is however built well for it. the long, wide, open gravel bars make Single or Double Handed rods a breeze to effectivly use.
