October was, amazingly enough, a pretty busy month fishing-wise. Wendy and I attended the FlyBC Fall Fish-In at Roche Lake, and we also took our camper down to the Methow Valley for a weekend getaway to celebrate Wendy's birthday. It happened to be opening weekend for steelhead on the Methow, too, which was convenient. ;-) I made a couple more solo trips to the Methow and a trip to the Thompson, too. Until we stayed home to finish our deck, I don't think I'd been home for a weekend since June!

It was fun to find some large trout feeding in shallow water.
This 8+ year old Pennask AF3n was 250mm when tagged on May 15, 2007. |
 |
| Same fish as above. I released to hopefully grow even bigger. |
 |
Another nice Roche Lake fish.
Note the Moby Whale net - handy to have when catching large-ish fish. |
 |
| Nice pink camo hat! |
 |
| The gang at the pot luck. |
 |
| No steelhead for me at the Thompson. There was sure lots of this stuff, though! |
 |
| Leaves in three, let it be! |
 |
| They named a road after me! :-) |

| Looks good, doesn't it? |

 |
| Look at those colours! |
 |
| Nice little bull trout. |
 |
| The Shafer Museum is worth a look if you find yourself in Winthrop, WA. |
 |
| These guys are all over the place in the Methow Valley. |
