Woody's Ramblings: January 2014

'Looking for the PCM sticker info? Click here!

December was a pretty low-key month, fishing-wise. We had a good winter break, though, and good visits with friends and family. Wendy's mom, Betty, came up and stayed with us for a few days at Christmas time. Wendy and I spent New Year's Eve in Winthrop, which was fun and interesting. We had some of the best Mexican food we've ever had in Omak, too, at Rancho Chico on the main drag. It's definitely worth a visit if you find yourself hungry in Omak.

I did manage to get a bit of fishing in. I hit the Adams River to shake off the shack nasties and hopefully christen my new Redington Dually 4109 switch rod, I hit Spences Bridge with Dean to swing the big rods for one last try at at Thompson steelhead, and I even fished the Methow on New Year's Eve! No steelhead on the Thompson and Methow this month, though.

So long 2013!

Alison's almost finished her tattoo artist apprenticeship! If you are interested in
getting some ink from her, contact her at The Fall Gallery.

My new Dually in the snow. My old Hardy St. Aidan reel balances it nicely.
'Great to use that reel again. The Rio Switch Chucker line is great on this rod.

Success! First fish on the Dually.

We had some beautiful sunsets in December!

I decided to post ordering information here to make things easier for anyone who is interested in purchasing stickers to commemorate our late friend Peter Cameron Morrison. This small project started with an idea I posted on FlyBC.ca here, and it has grown a bit. At the time of this writing I've shipped more than 800 PCM stickers. They look like this:

Proceeds of PCM stickers sales go to the Canadian Diabetes Association

and the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC.

I look forward to seeing "PCM, Good Day!" on all sorts of vehicles, boats, rod cases, and so on. With luck I'll spot yours (or you'll spot mine) and we'll meet!

Thank you to Tony at Jafa Industries for his generous support of this project.

All the best,

Barry put one on his hat - great idea

Barry's got PCM stickers all over the place. Nice!

Peter's memorialized on Ryan's beer fridge.

On the Sheridan Lake Market Brag Board that Peter started. It needs more photos,
so if you get one of a nice fish in that area pop by and add it to the board!
