Then came health issues with my mom, who turned 96 two weeks ago, so I haven't been fishing in almost a month now except for a cold azz day on the Cowlitz a couple weeks back. If I needed pics of fish, I'd be totally up sh!t creek. I think I took a total of 2 pictures of trout this year and no steelhead. One smallish 7# summer run was into the backing noteworthy, but no photo. Maybe I'm jaded; I've seen a few and have enough photos to help me remember what a fish looks like when I get old and senile.


Ain't that the truth...
