Yours is a name I have not seen in a long time @Gettin' Jiggy Wid It ! How are you doing? Do you still fish out of your Nucanoe?

Thanks @troutdude ! I have shown that picture to a lot of folks and several have said it looks like it is from a magazine :)

I hit the Columbia on Sunday the 6th for a day of smallmouth fishing but I got a nice surprise in the middle of the day! I knew the day was going to be pretty special when I saw the sunrise. With a start to the day like that you know something great is going to happen. The day started out...

June 7 and 8 are the next free fishing weekends. I am from Portland so I am not sure about how accessible the waters are around you.

Thanks @fromthelogo !

We have all seen it, felt it, sensed it. You turn quickly but you don't quite see it, but you know its there and getting closer. You can feel its fetid breath on the back of your neck as you make your next cast. It's stench permeates first the air around, then seems to seep into your very soul...

When I got to the Columbia I was a little dismayed. The forecast called for winds to be light and variable but it was blowing pretty...

... and to all a good night!

It was a fun knew experience!
