Nope, didn't end up under a tree, just didn't get a chance to read the board this weekend.

Fishing was fine, catching wasn't so good. Tried a float-n-jig, pulled a small HotShot, even ran a K15 through a couple holes on the off chance I'd stumble onto a springer, but no luck. On the positive side, I did see lots of redds and lots of steelies doin' their thing. Always a cool sight. Talked to one other boat who hadn't had any luck either. Oh well, beats working.

Bob, thanks again for the heads up about the new boulder in Double Rapids. That definitely wasn't there last year. Didn't hit it or nothing, but it did take a quick stop-and-pivot to keep off of it.

A small helicopter flew over me around midday, heading upstream. Was that somebody on this board? I thought I saw a post a while back about somebody who had a fishing 'copter. Is that just for fun or are you/they working w/ WDFW to count redds or something? Just curious. Looks like a great way to get to those hard to reach fishin' spots!
