went back again in late oct

but got busy at work and became a bum of snow
and ullr bless it did snow

a lot
made it up to a happy place and left a lill sumthins in homage of a good ole god who i still miss


got the old man back on the slopes at 78
a 7 year hiatis and a couple new knees seem to have taken his ability to unweight the left plank strapped to his foot and turn right which led to a tough dsay
but he still could turn left and i think hell try again next season

and it never sucks to share sumthin that well at this point seems to have a profound effect on the direction of my life
with the guy who started the addiction
neither does sharing the passion with the better 1/2/spanser

puppystuffs spent another season as a shop dog

dont knows ifin i could work in a non god friendly enviorment again
did a bit off on snow puppystuffs

hes definately better at the fishing things
kinda like grandpa
worked mores than a bum should till feb and road tripped
to Canknuklestan for our annual po folk heli ski hut trip
eh

scored abouts as goods as it gits
including the bozone cold smoke blower blessing

thatll probs be in the top 10 of white room low density cold smoke blower crushing life skill that dont matter
till it really fuckin matters book
at this age i consider every season ya gits good and well sometimes a goat shines down upon you and yours

so
well yeah i thinks catchin was tough
tougher when the winds cranked

&

got em
euronymphin in the wind outta the boat on large western rivers

#notsomuch
but the kid did gits one

and

muddlersmatter

[Kfoxwyo]

[stillsteamin]

Some great animals in there. I've always wanted to fish the cicada happening. Someday maybe

[Cary]

good bumping in to you. was a magical week then, and the last four day agains, the buszers are buzzin, clickers clickin, and greedy trouts being greedy.

[blumpkin]

Your story telling has advanced exponentially, and you were already amazing.
The way you tie it in with pics is seriously art.
Lando is a visionary in telling winners from losers in fly fishing.

gluttanymatters
i git the fast water eat coming around the wagon trail bend
a nice swift water fight and puts em in the net

I go to retrieve my cicada and there's a tail in the way
after a good bit of tugging it came free

i was hopin it was a pike minnow and i could add the elusive suawfish to my catch bucket list
but i think its your standard sculpin and reminds me why i bother throwing articulated wet socks junk at em

had to been in there a while
the old mans been going thru his 3rd divorce and its been taking its toll financially and emotionally
so im pretty stoked its winding down and he has a nice new fishin girlfriend

bucked camp early and made it back around to meet them and float a holiday shit show A section

bets i couda tossed a articulated butts monkey into 50 of them rubber buzz loaded flotillas of little to no navigation life skills having crafts

butts its all goods and i expected it on that stretch and thankfully his new fishin s o isn't real
catching driven and could enjoy the spectacular views and one of the more scenic floats you can do

no where near as much buzz going down on the 1st 8 but stuck a few got rained on
wife split with fur child next days projected +20 blows and clouds sent me 1/2 way home and to lumpy and fishes with worms camp
threw the boats in on the res and stuck a few

ate wells

made new god friends

stuck a few bows

murica

fuck yeahs
worked a couple weeks haunted by the big kyped jam foam munch and the moment of victory becoming the agony of unstuck defeat stuck in my mind
poundkeytogoodnottogoback
went up a day early to get the poopfish on
saw a few put a few offerings where i thought they needed to be but another chunk of metal in the shouda took the blizzacks off on the solitice and a tire change was it
met up with the old man team drinks a lot and k

threw o bouts 4:20 to a solid buzz of big bugs and headed down river

stuck em pretty good


team d a l floated into camp

and the buzz continued

stuck a few on the junk that eve
woke n boke

sun up on the rivers a special time snapped some pics and threw in for streamer hour


beats the fuck outta me wtf happen to my leader overnight but donated 3 sirilankian childrens fruits of labor fore i puts a new leader on and quit crackering off flies in troots grills and pulled my shit togather

the rest of the crew woke up and we bucked camp and headed downriver

team d a l caught a buzz and a few troots

poundkeysobfschoolofprotagraphy


ran shuttles n moved camp to down here


fished into the eve


nobodies was up for dawn patrol so the dork god and I rolled solo

found a few players


hung out with the locals

i gave team hungovertothegills little chance of completing my shuttle on time
and the old man wanted to git a float in so we wwjtd and walked on down a country road

ran shuttles and the old man stuck a few and missed a few down to pipeline


I guess the rest of the team stuck a hudge rainbow on a sally dropper but couldnt put er in the net and im pretty sure it grew an inch with each passing river mile so it was 28ish by the time they caught up to us and my pops promptly droppered up
which sure scored whiteies but no 30' bows

floated into swallow and the buzz and floating big macs returned and some slobs were exercised to pay for their glutany



a good 5 or 6 dozen fish earlier back on the 4th a guide bro i used to ski tech with gave me his cicada pattern and even full amputeed hackleless wingstubbed and munched like a trooty chew toy still manage to poundkeyfucksumfishintheface

or so that trips catch phrase went
rolled back into camp
and lumpy and I threw back in above to float down
stucks a few

hashtagsdidimentionimhudgesuckers



fought thru caddis swarms and back to the safty of camp


team consume alcohol took their game to the next level and a herb encased burning cone of og luke skywalker kush my farmer bro grew took me well not quite to the moon but at least lunar orbits
but sat in the throne chair

and stared up at a full moon and harked back to a hazy 4 y.o staring at the tele as apollo 11 passed into the darkside and none knew what or if all systems remained go
thought i had a picture of the full moon above camp thought i had a picture of the group of black city babes and their raft guides we had the pleasure of sharing a few river miles and camp with
but as afro man says I was gonna but...
anyhow for the buzz man ,the og gemini studs grisom white and chafee carpener glen and everyone who made that to the moon stuffs happen
