Nice post. Did your kids catch any as well? Nothing compares to seeing a kid getting into their first fish.

I'll be your huckleberry.

I think thats been discussed here before, but do we really need to see bigbowtrout's mom getting into position for the SanJuan shuffle?

I think I hear that almost every day on Jim Rome, but thats the first time I've seen Chappelle's impression. Beeeyaaahh!

Great report. I'm hoping to make it up there myself in a few weeks.

What about that huge treehouse? I thought the maximum stay was 14 days and there were no permanent structures allowed. How long has that thing been there now? It's getting pretty ridiculous up there again.

It's always stood out in my mind as well. I enjoyed his books but I never really agreed with his postion on bulls. Now what do I win?

I've got the same thing. I thought it was only me though.

Nice tie Doc.

Nice report, sounds like a good time.

Just got back from several days in BC. Most streams were fishable on opening day but conditions definately got better the further west I went. Michel and Alexander were pretty high and dirty. Probably a couple more weeks. The Elk was starting to look good late last week but dirtied up again with all the recent rain. It was fishable on opening day but not really worth it for the CW license (still a little high and off color). Dirtied up again today with all the rain. Should be getting in shape very soon. The St. Mary and Bull were both still a little high but crystal clear and very fishable. Many smaller streams were in pretty good shape too, conditions get steadily better the further west you go.

This is the nicest one I've caught.

Great job man.

I think Playfair was a great assistant, but he left a little to be desired as a head coach. He was a little too stubborn with his game plans, especially in the playoffs - his answer to getting outshot 5-1 is to just sit back and continue to do the same thing??? Stick to the system game after game when it's clearly not working? I also got a little tired of his constant line juggling. I wish him the best and hopefully he has learned from last season. Not sure Iron Mike is the right guy though. If he sticks to coaching it should be a great fit, I just hope he does not get into a power struggle with Sutter. Time will tell I guess.

Nice fish. I used to fish that spot too, there were some real hogs in there.

Great post Taco. Thanks for sharing.
