Hey Float n blade,

I figured you were buzzin me about the short rod and spinning reel. I believe I was at what you refer to as "up and over" in the canyon. I did not try the billy goat (iron man) spot, maybe next year.

I will be up this fall for some salmon fishing, with the exchange rates an annual license/punchcard is pretty reasonable - or atleast compared to what the state of Wa charges it does not seem too bad to me.
