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 …

This morning before light the elk
had come down into the front yard, the sea gulls were in the back yard, this it
turns out is a clear sign the weather is about to get really fowl again.

Earlier this week we had some tough fishing but for in the
last couple of days we seemed to get things dialed in.

and things started out O.K. when Shane hooked a hot chromer on the first cast,

Absolutely awful fishing report.

Cold rain, sleet, snow, heavy hail, lightening, high water,
deep snow and slush, ice, and high winds.
The fishing otherwise has been decent and it sure hasn’t been that
crowded. I had to cancel a ton of
trips dueNow the roads are better but the rivers
are in rough shape. Hopefully
after the next week or so the worst of our winter weather will be over. Here is Jim, up from California somehow
smiling despite being absolutely dumped on by every kind of foul weather ever
devised. Mike …
