Should be good.

If you still see the bandwidth image, clear your browsers cache/history.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

You find out the true character of a person when you spend 5 days camping and fishing.

Whoa! Excellent pictures guys. I live for that scenic country up there. It is an integral part of the magic. Even with a perfect photo essay such as this one it is difficult to explain. The friends, the fall colors, cascading rivers, snow capped mountains in every direction, the remoteness, good hooch and oh yeah......the perfect fishies. Could go on but again, very hard to explain. It is something you have to feel yourself to understand fully. smile

Coley,

Nice narrative at the beginning. I think you sum it up beautifully, "looking for something beautiful." I guess that make enough sense to me, why I fish.

Nice photos too. Beautiful water to be on. I would love to be on a nice little river off the beaten path. That's a gem to fish.

Just gettin caught up.

Strong work there Stamly. Thanks for kickin in on the story line and images as well. Perfect.

I like that ghostly lookin hen shot.

Starting to go into withdrawals. Approaching a week since I unstrung the rods and started the long drive home. The snow is piling up at home and putting the boats away for winter has definitely left me with mixed feelings. It was a great year, just not quite sure I am ready to call it quits and face winter.

Coley I'll come right out and say you are now my favorite here on PP. Your expressiveness and photography combined are unmatched here.

I'd say you found what you were searching for brother. 5 stars all the way around.
