that's ok, a few of these came to hand:


I suppose I can't really complain about the weather since anytime you can catch trout on tiny dries when snow is falling, is a good time...

PS: just noticed the "fish reports" section, but I never actually go there...so my apologies if anyone has issue with this being here...

One of the reasons I love the PNW is days like that. Well done.

The pic of the stream is just beautiful - I can't hardly imagine it without the snow after seeing it like that. Someplace I'd spend some time, given the chance, for sure.

Great colors on the fish and rod pics, and exquisite detail on the trout. What kind of camera are you using ??

Hope you post more pics of your outings.

We fished the Metilous a few years ago in the summer, was a delightful trip and got to meet more fellow FAOL anglers. The fish were cooperative and the whole setting was amazing...even got to see Pete's Arabian horses!
