As always, this time of the year, things are getting "ramped up" for North of Falcon. NOF won't be like the "old days", no sitting in a room...sports and NT, WDFW personnel discussing how to divide up the salmon in the Chehalis and Humptulips system.

Sorry about you and Instagram, hope the entry didn't hurt too much?????

Hope the area you like to fish, has a good result from NOF...... the early mornings just aren't my thing to do anymore AND if I never put another Chinook, adult or jack would be OK with me.

Have a good season....

Drifter,
it sucks this new process we get hosed because of no personnel interactions.......
I am doing alot of other thing , hunting and that world are taking away some of or alot of the guide time but after 22 years of doing it out there and watching the demise of these fisheries and putting in the thousands of hours in the meeting rooms and the sport world being so fragmented and not able to come together as one killed us in the end game and left the power with the dept instead of with us !
I have always enjoyed you as a fisherman and a human being and i struggled with watching you go through the slow loss of your wife............ Me I might have taken the cowards way out on that one and ate a bullet, I don't , because I nearly did when I lost one of my best friends Sol, you remember, the only reason I think I made it through that is because one morning at 330 am a small town Monte Cop didn't act like a small town cop he acted like a caring human being, a man blessed with humility who seems as though he had been sent by angels to talk to a seriously upset , troubled , intoxicated among other things guy who in the moment and for the first time in his life was in a place where was about to do the un thinkable yet he dropped his gun belt talked to me like he actually cared which he did, massively ! and 20 minutes later we were both in tears and two good friends of mine were pulling up and as men we gave each other our word and the next time I saw him it was as if nothing had happened and acknowledged one another and went about our business.............. he was and is a true professional in every sense of the word ! and i am sure you know him as well as my two friends that he summonds to my house at 6th and Marcy that faitful June Morning.

anyways i had a few medical things going on as well which just pushed me through the door of stepping away for a minute but I will be back, you can take that to the bank.
Take care

We all have to "hang in there". Between the virus, the fishing rules, vaccines, just the overall shut down of the system, its been a tough year.

Best to you

Got 2nd vaccine yesterday, that process was a challenging 6 weeks. I question whether the "left hand knew what the right hand was/is doing". There are still people that I know, that can't get their ducks in a row, so still don't have the 1 shot...just shouldn't be that way.
