Well, now that most of us have switched over to Lake fishing for the time being, figured I would put up some of my favorites pictures and moments from this past river fishing season, and i hope you will do the same and add some of your favorite pics as well!
I would like to thank everyone who fished with me this past year, as my first full year of guiding, i was incredibly fortunate to have the numbers of awesome people fishing with me, and we had some great days and made some incredible memories!
Wishing everyone tight lines this spring, summer and fall, and I hope to see you on the river!
post your favorite pics from this past season!

Re: 2012 Favorites/Memories
Had the great pleasure of putting both these awesome guys on their first ever steelhead! Website member Cozmo and his buddy came out with me as a last ditch effort to get their first steelhead, needless to say things worked out, and we were blessed with not one, but 3 beautiful wild steelhead, and Cozmo was lucky enough for his FIRST steelhead being a monster 15 lb wild buck!

Re: 2012 Favorites/Memories
Thanks! Yeah both of them are. It's always fun to watch a coho turn away from a school, follow the eggs almost to the bank and swallow them. It's even better when people try to say coho don't bite and then see that!fishenfreak wrote:Sweeet pics blake! That looks like an awesome little river to fish for coho!

Re: 2012 Favorites/Memories
amen that stretch on the quil has been good to me in years especially behind that stump there's a deep pocket where they rest at along with the next slot down. I will probably see you out there for sure this yearBlakeP wrote: Thanks! Yeah both of them are.

Re: 2012 Favorites/Memories
Yeah. I don't fish too much behind the stump, but that slot is my favorite hole on the quil, along with the deep slot about 100 yards down from that. yeah, I'm sure I'll run into you sometime out there this year, though I don't fish on weekends much there.Brat Bonker wrote: amen that stretch on the quil has been good to me in years especially behind that stump there's a deep pocket where they rest at along with the next slot down.
