  • Nice day yesterday

    Posted on February 3, 2009 by Jim

    I am going to lead with this again. I am leaving the trip auction open
    until the 7th, there has to be some one out there willing to open
    the bidding at one dollar.

    My good friend and fellow fishing guide Sam Kennedy has been
    very sick with cancer for some time, and despite good health insurance it has
    predictably put his family on the ropes financially. There is a benefit
    dinner for him here in Forks on the 7th and lots of guides including
    myself have offered to donate trips for auction. I have decided instead of
    donating a trip I …

    desert, drank, ate and hung out with good friends.

    Here is a left over picture of Jim Farr with a Bogachiel
    hatchery steelhead, rivers have started to look good, weather is nice and I am
    leaving for Baja today. I heard a
    pretty reliable rumor today that the Hoh tribe netted a 45-inch steelhead yesterday
    and apparently sold it to a taxidermist from Port Angeles who was on hand with
    $200.00 dollars. The fish is said
    to have weighed 31 pounds. I hope it had a big brother who made it through. If you are looking to get out fishing I have quite a few dates …
