Awesome Doc!

On the subject of "the one," my catalog of events, memories made, and images from the summer is unfortunately pretty small. This was probably my least fishinest year in the last decade without question.

That having been said there were a few memorable outings. I'll share a bit from a few different ways of looking at "the one that stood out."

1. The best day of fishing
2. Best trip
3. And best fish


The most enjoyable day of fishing I had this summer was a trip where I took a friends visiting nieces and my daughter out to pull plugs for silvers. We wound up releasing a bunch of chums & pinks and boating a limit of silvers for the girls. The girls were a lot of fun and had a great time. My kiddo had a blast being along for the action and on the boat ride home my guests Dad raced us downriver in his helicopter which of course made the kids go nuts. Yes, that is a smile.








The most memorable trip from the summer was one I had done before, a local fly out and float down mission that starts at a small lake. From there you have to bushwack for a few hours down to a small creek and spend a few days floating back to town. Untouched water full of rainbows with two of my best buds.































































Finally, the most memorable fish wasn't so much memorable for being a sizable or beautiful fish, but it was novel because I've never seen a king eat a skated mouse pattern before.
