so the spring push came n went early this season never peaking over 6k although theyre still pushin a bit of water up north
didn't make it up for high flows
transitioned into summers happy idiot legal tenders gigs and thankfully doing it for myself or rather anyone willing to pay with stacks of dead potus papers and keeps me in the shadows of the economy

so seeing tuesday was high pressure and calm i decided to head up score a good camp and check on the poopers in the res
sounded good till a coon decided he was gonna homestead the chimney
with profesional coon removal running tween 3- 4 hundy i needed to dyi this problem even if it cost me a perfect poopfish day
a few bottle rockets a trip or 2 to the hodepot chimney caps,landscaping the neighbors overhanging trees, and turd removal
i managed to safly roll into dj round 420
the furkids been doing well i failed at home schoolin and weve been going to classes been a year now hes grown and matured quite a bit

they tell me he needs a purpose, shit im 53 and i wonder bout my purpose
all the good river camps had been taken so we headed down to browns park and scored a riverside camp
rolled out for a dawn patrol float and some row by streamer shootings

my row n throw games was ,doh described it well and im still trying to figure out how i donated that 1st fly on the 1st cast to the river gods
had a few grabs and a troots or 2 on the line but none in the nets
bailed on the troots n flowing water and hit the gorge
a dry cold front was rolling through with enough wiind so that gittin em from shore was the call
surprisingly still a few late spawners and dork god had a blast chasing them fore i got him under control
got a few to eat

hr puppystuffs slept through the whole thing
which for anyone who saw the last furkid in oc action at the fish on part is a kinda nice change
headed back to camp the old man made it up finally and we got up n out early and floated a b
he had a real hard time the night before im not gonna go into details but it wasnt pretty,and that shits down right depressing so despite the skunking and tough dry fly conditions the fact that he was much better that day
and a gourgie day on your home waters with a couple of yur best fishin buds is a blessing that shouldn't be taken lightly and that fuckin circle of life.. well a lil help at the start and towards the end to keep the diameter straight is part of it all
floated into camp and a bro with his crotchfruit showed up
floated a quick eve float down to cowboy
as the wife showed up and cooked sum grub
weather for sunday looked flash flood ominous so we bucked camp and headed up to the dam for a float
made sum friends at the put in
