I've been away from the board for awhile but lurked off and on. This board used to be really fun but lately it feels like all we do around here is discuss fisheries politics. This is certainly a place for that and it's awesome to have all the bios, ex-bios, lawyers, fish junkies and such contributing on a regular basis. Can't deny the history we've made as a community here when it comes to "getting to the bottom of things" but man, I read Vedder's Kenai post and thought, a number of us appreciate pictures and the like and we used to really feed off of picture or question formats. Sitting here after my two year old just went down for the night and preparing myself for some time away from Meadow for a bit (to head up on an annual BC jaunt), I thought to start a thread, hopefully with some interest in the question. What is your favorite season and why? Fell free to explain in text or just portray your feeling in a picture of sorts.

Mine is without doubt, the fall. While every season brings its' charm, there is no other like the fall with its' brilliant colors, deadwood smells and ofcourse, the quarry. Fall salmon and steelhead are hard to beat for this guy... ofcourse it' means the eve of winter steelhead. wink

I'm with you Danny, except now that I am into bird hunting there are simply not enough days. Not even close.

When I lived in southwest Idaho a lifetime ago my favorite season was fall(sept, oct) 28 degree mornings with sunny 65 degree days with river trout hungry with the winter coming on. Now my favorite season is August/Sept hunting coho on the beaches of Whidbey. Never been much of a picture taker.

At my age and health every day is my favorite season.

Actually August through October is the one for me.

April for me. Springers and the hottest steelhead of the year.

If I were King for a day I'd re-order the seasons as follows:

1. Fall
2. Fall
3. Spring
4. Fall

Funny Danny, after seeing your reply in Dave's Kenai thread I'd thought of asking you why you weren't knee deep in a BC steelhead stream. Glad to know you'll get some time there again this fall. I've been away too long. Say hi to a few big ones for me will ya.

Hope you are digging the daddy role. Turns out two is a lot more work than one. Not much fishing time for me these days, but I've tried to make up for lack of quantity with quality and am trying to make the most out of limited opportunities.

Another vote for the fall!

If I were king I would take a week from every other month and split them between September and October! That way might be able to squeeze in all the fishing and hunting I would like to enjoy.

Great photo! Is that a puff of feathers from a hit or is it your shot string just behind the bird?

Fall, without a doubt.

I wish it could be July all year long. As much as I enjoy chasing coho, I never get tired of watching a rod fold over when a big king crushes a plug.

That is feathers. I actually hit that one! I can say that's a GREAT shot, as I did not take it. A friend did with my camera

A few quick snaps of fall on the water from Vedder's recent Kenai visit.

With kids, soccer, work, and extreme netting and closures, fall is more of a wishful time for me lately. Summers have been a blast though! Awesome pics btw!

Gotta say Moose hunting, when you or a buddy has a tag in their pocket smile

Locally the kings are Giant Tomatoes, the kind I DON'T want to pick. No steelhead season this fall (is the rumor on the Upper Columbia), so it's mule deer the next 2 weeks, and back to Idaho for late whitetails.

Fall - Chanterelles, boletes, white matsutake, twitching jigs for late-run coho, the occasional late fall Chinook or steelhead, cooler temps, and autumn leaves. Just not enough time in the day, or enough days, to enjoy it all.

It could be late October/Early November all year long and I'd be happy.

Little to no pressure on my favorite rivers and beautiful fall scenery.
