There was ZERO people in Los anchoritos security today,when I went through. First class upgrades don't suck either.(grin)

Just went grocery shopping and shelves are full...I don't get the fuss...............

Today they opened the hunts back up to residents, but you still can’t travel between communities.
Seems to limit Ketchikan folks from going to the island to hunt, but islanders should be free to proceed.

This is tougher than being a 6yr old on Xmas Eve.

So now I don't have to lock myself up for 3 weeks straight? THAT was close!

I don't get the fuss...............(grin)

First day is always the toughest,because I can't know when daybreak is and that usually means a cup of coffee in the crummy while waiting.

Batteries are charged and bodies have cards in 'em,so now it's just a matter of raking everything over,to get a read on water volumes and see what the feesh are doing.

Had an EPIC last leg coming home on da' Jet,with a strafing run about 2000' off the deck,flying contours across Etolin and The Cleveland. I thanked the shit out of the pilots,as it was far and away the best I've ever been on and they were giggling. Long way of sayin',I didn't see ANY fucking water and had a rather spectacular view. Tidal Fish are fun too though.

I don't get the fuss...............(grin)

Had The Blue Bitch on step,with Jamie's Cryin' on 11 and bumped him. Tried to sweet talk and call,then just kept chooglin' and bumped the dumb fucker again. Woulda needed a Door Gunner,but that's what they're for!

Billet Bitches arrived and do not suck.

Fucking cold. G-12 battery puked and I wasn't schlepping a 1D-Series. Fucking Woof tracks everywhere,in the morning's fresh snow.

This is a Hurry Up Cosby. A TRUE one,has the McFoam inserted up the guts of the bead,rather than Snell Grannied. Water is lowwwwwwwwwww enough and there's a wisp of sun now and again,that I'll tie up some Tinsel Town Cosby's for morning.

Typical pastel first light,despite the horrid weather this morning.(grin)



Spring will wear a guy out,as the days are chocked full of enough light,that the candle is burning at both ends. Fun stompin' shadows,going to see what Rivers offer.



Light has been harsh enough,that I shoulda been gunning High Key B&W frames....but was more intent on R&D and Search & Destroy. Fuck Summer!

Pouring rain and a warm Chinook this AM,should do nice things to the snow pack and relative river volumes. This shit will get outta hand and off the hook,if everything brewing in the bays...makes a dash for Freshwater.

A rather NICE gesture received in the Mail,ala right proper Fallkniven Model DC521 hardwood baseplate. It's exceptionally WELL executed and wears non-slip feet at all corners. I'll not hang someone out to dry,but give 'em the opportunity to confess instead. THANKS!




Awaiting a tide change and this BEAUTIFUL Monsoon/Chinook Hurricane to kick in,then go chase more Chrome this afternoon.

It could be argued,that I could fire The Kydex Factory up and give some Pixies a right proper home...but it's hard to not be Castin & Blastin'.

I tend to stay on top of thangs...but did haveta' call in THE Hit Man and the World's WORST Steelhead Rain Coat. Mentioned that you could see that thing,from the Moon and someone replied "I'm catching fish,aren't I?!?". I can take a hint.

I don't think Spring is as bad as everyone says. There's a black Grunden rain jacket,stacked on top of someone's waders this morning though.

Everyone is saying "Lots of GOOD Product",which can't ever be a bad thing. Glad I've never been that hungry!

Cain't get him to hold still,so just put cameras away. He's got good wheels,for not even being 1.5yrs old yet. Prolly should start Bear Looking,while waiting on rain.

Yeah looks like I picked a good year to buy a permit. Herring were everywhere. Just need the Japanese to buy them.

This Winter might be a GOOD time,to buy Permit(s). I really cain't see how it can pan out this year,given the current status. Hopefully,most are diversified enough,to weather the certain storm.

Couple guys called me yesterday,dooming and glooming with Death Tolls and the like and I like not watching/listening to News and my streamside focus instead of. I'm REALLY digging the R&R,other than the constant,in which I'd happily take some more rain.

I don't get the fuss...............(grin)

Being informed is a good thing, but there are a lot of people that would be much better off without "news" and social media.

My World doesn't hinge upon what's crappening in NYC,or much of anywhere else either. Not wishing doom on folks,but I'm not tough enough to live that way,let alone die that way and they can have it all.

All I can know is that the lights are on,gas is down,Stock Market is up,TP abounds and Feesh are willing to bite. MDT has 12rd BR mags in stock(and on the way!). I'm trying to finger out how I want my next 224 Grendel done and if I should use components on hand,gut a Donor or toss a NIB receiver in a box.?!? While sipping coffee and gawkin' Dummy rounds.

I don't get the fuss...............(grin)
