Hard to watch. Funny thing, I was out in Kelowna for the Marathon 3 weeks ago. Watching some 10 year old kids catching squawfish (northern pikeminnow) on small spoons by the marina downtown. They treated those fish with absolute care and respect, carefully unhooking them and gently returning them to the water, fish after fish.....it was amazing to watch them.

Excellent quartet! (Wind 'em like you stole 'em) I am sure 'Dueling Hardy's' will be coming next!

Excellent shots, all of them! Thanks for sharing.... Sorry to hear about Magnum, he looks just like my lab Charlie, who I lost in November 1987. Those soft yellow ears where just made for rubbin'....

I like the clear (with largish) individual compartment boxes for my drys. I can see them through the lid and keep several flies in each compartment. They cushion against each other and the hackles don't seem to get damaged. I label the lid top with sizes sometimes over certain compartments. For nymphs and streamers I use old Perrine boxes mostly....

I saw these Cocoon 'over glasses' sunglasses at Mountain Equipment Co-Op yesterday. They have almost a full rack in stock with different styles. Quite an interesting and quality product, and they really don't look that much bigger than regular sunglasses. The pair I was looking as has internal adjustments so you can make them fit quite snugly over your existing perscription glasses. Neat idea and well made!

Peltor or Bilsom...... They have electronic sensor models starting at just over a hundred. Peltor NRR20's would be a great gift. And, being Peltor's, they will still work 10 years from now. The Sport-Tac's in your link would be just fine!

I know Sears Opitcal will set you up with some polarised perscription sunglasses, always use a tether when your on the water! http://www.searsoptical.com/eyeglasses/prescription-sunglass-lenses-polarized-polycarbonate-and-anti-reflective

Mike at Country Pleasures fitted me out with some new Riversheds as few weeks ago, and so far, two thumbs up. Wore them all last weekend on the the Dogpound and LRD, and gotta say, they are my new best friends. Lots of high ankle support, and I have the cleat kit standing by to put in if I encounter slime. So far have not needed the cleats, however. The super stiff sole took a bit to get used to. One heads up I got from Mike, the 'StreamTread' sole on the Rivershed is soft Vibram. It's tough, but if your walking miles and miles on very hot pavement or asphalt, it could lead to premature wear. So avoid such use, walk on the sides of such pathways on really hot days.

Great walleye SJW, and neat pic taken intio the sun! The weather last Saturday was amazing, a great day to be out.

Amazing shots, all of them. Thanks for posting/sharing! Beautiful photography throughout....

Stunning photgraphy, any of these make a great September calender cover!
