pre smoked silvers, the view from kevins deck, the smoking process, some yukon river king salmon belly meat

some hens for the smoker

fished a small stream on the west side O.P. for silvers.

some dark/some bright. i gave these 2 hatchery hens the rock shampoo and took em home and smoked them.

in a far place.

"the great land"

the last great weekend before the weather turned.

fall has arrived but not before one last warm wonderful weekend.

the lake was swimmable and yeilded a few trout. (crescenti cutts)

for a trout fisherman in the northwest, these are the most important bugs from early sept. through october.

the famed october caddis. it is a producer.

fished a "crik" on the "east side". took a few west slope cutts and a few rainbows. nothing to get too excited about, but some fiesty fighters

fall favorite

bashed into a small "crik" today for a couple hours. c&r an 18" rainbow and a 16.5" coastal cutt. several 12-13 " rainbows and cutts. nice afternoon.

All photos are my own.

Northwest Blueliner will be mainly centered around flyfishing and fly tying.

From time to time I will throw in a non fishing related post.

I will try to keep that to a minimum though.

No politics, no statements beyond my love of the sport.
