Finally Summer?

We had a super late start to our summer (I wore a jacket on the 4th of July), but it looks like our late start is turning into a warm fall. Tomorrow we're expecting 87 degrees on Silver Creek. I am so stoked that we've been able to extend our crazy hopper fishing at least another week! Here's a photo of a not-so-big (but huge by other rivers' standards) Silver Creek brown trout.



I do hope we get a crappy weather day soon so I can start tying flies for some steelieboppers on my new Griffin Montana Mongoose vise!

Carpin' Crunch

Paddy and I tried to catch some delicious carps on the Snake the other day and things went horribly wrong. There were white caps on the off color river (there was a fire) so we shopped the stink bait at Sportsman's Warehouse and watched about 12 base jumpers on the Perrine Bridge. I guess it wasn't a total failure and now I know about fish bats and Sturgeon Stank.


Post fire with lots of white caps. Not so good for the carping.


All of the delicious choices of PowerBait. So many flavors and so much glitter!


Right after I found the fish bat. For $4.99 you can beat thousands of fish to death. Sounds fun...


The Perrine Bridge. The only place in the U.S. where BASE jumping is legal. It's also visible from the parking lot at Sportsman's Warehouse.
