I'd be pretty happy if September and October could be replayed for most of the year.

A few photos from stomping around my local haunts this fall.

Skilak lake last week on a family camping, fishing mission.

Ice encased coho









The big freeze has begun







A full day of fishing this time of year usually means prepping gear in the dark and cold in the morning and then cleaning stuff up in the dark at the end other end.







Cold water and little warmth from the sun makes it hard to wade for more than a handful of minutes at a time









But the rainbow fishing has been fantastic













Logged what is likely my last local day of fishing for the season yesterday and it was a good one.




Time to get boats put away and winterized for the year and make some winter travel plans I suppose.
