2nd vote for Moore's, great prices and quick, efficient service. '04 Chev/GMC truck, windshield installed....$185.....and it's domestic produced glass, great stuff.

Looks like a pretty good year so far to me, great pics, all of them. Amazing fish too, and scenery well shot...thanks for sharing!

Your probably right about being in the 5000 pictures, and all those flies are now on display on living room trinket shelves from Tokyo to Osaka. You created a untold number of memories Doc, good for you! Amazing scenery...been driving by the turn off for years, now I must visit!

Great post Gil, well named! Thanks for sharing this....

Was at Police Sunday morning at 730. The launch is functional and safe. Saw a couple rigs parked by the road w/empty trailers at that time. It was good to see them there! We walked and waded (tight tight to that bank whoa ninja style), saw new water and saw fish, many stone schucks, saw live stones too, no caddis. Saw the shuttle people doing their thing at 1100 when we left, and that felt good too!

3 really great shots! Nice work!

Gettin' thirsty boys.....gettin thirsty.

In 1980 both the South and North Forks of the Toutle River were destroyed by Mount St Helens. At the time, both fisheries people and fisherman saw the devastation and said that the rivers would not recover in their lifetimes. Based on what the pictures and newreel footage showed, no one disputed this. Yet, the South Fork did recover within a few years, and the North Fork (later) as well. Spirit Lake did too, as early as 1983 there was life in the lake. Not to pre 1980 levels, but the fish did come back to the streams. Hard work by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to control silt and water levels helped, as did the efforts of wildlife groups and other state angencies working hard along side. Anyway, our river is hurt, but it will recover too. Some may be surprised how fast. Nature finds a way.....

Yes Adrienne, your overdue!

Fantastic shots and story once again. Thanks peetso. I have been wanted to point my grill north for years, your posts are making it a must.......

Original Joe's has Trad......and lots of great food too! There is something like 9 locations now. I like the Marda Loop location....lot's of....distractions. http://www.originaljoes.ca/ Anyway, next time your in town, maybe let us know, would sure be nice to hang out and talk about bamboo.....first Trad is on me.

Same, shocked by the images......unbelievable

Amazing stuff, thanks for sharing peetso........

Good post Pipes and quite true, Jet A fuel is very stable and needs to be atomised and travelling 'at speed' to ignite. Jet B, more unstable, but I highly doubt B was in those railcars. Did we want it in our river, no. But the press babbling about 'highly dangerous jet fuel' was the last thing Calgarians needed to hear yesterday morning.

Old School.....and cool! Great find......(wonder what happened to the rest of the gear)

Great post Peetso, awesome story. I actually felt like I was there with you buddy!

Right on! Big congrats...... There is no feeling at all that comes close.......(well there is ONE that kinda comes close)

Aweome ties on this page from all of you....!

Great video, of an amazing man. The flight instructor who was with him on that last flight in 1991 felt that the accident was not pilot error. His quote: "I will always believe that Lee's death was the cause of the accident -- rather than a result of it"

I have used U.L.S. in the past and they were great. http://www.ulslandscaping.com/

From my own experience, this is how things went for me. For the few months, they sleep, a lot. So you might get out a few times more than what you might think during that first 6 months. Then, they seem to come alive, start to see you, find their hands, take a few steps and believe me your not going to want to go fishing much with all that magic going on. After they are a year old, the afternoon naps are probably gone, and things get busier. Your going to wish they sure would start to talk more. (You may regret this wish in the years to come) You may get out fishing less, but your life will be full. Enjoy these times, the years will pass as a blur and before you know it they will be 10. Then, your worst fears could be realised later when they are teens...they may/will come to conclusion that their Dad is in fact not the coolest guy on earth. This, will hurt a bit. It will be true though, so prepare yourself. My advice, for the early years, keep fly tying, practice your casting, get out when you can. Take lots of pictures of your little one out with you. Get your wife out of the house. Learn everything she does in the house and do it well. (forget the breast feeding part) You will find time to go, and if you can't go, try to find gold in just staying home.

Fish of a lifetime, awesome shot.

Great shots Adrienne!! (P.S. this must be almost your second season here? )

Happy Birthday Pete! (from another Pete)
