November, 2013

November was a tough month. An old friend, Peter Morrison, passed away on Nov. 5 under tragic circumstances. Much of the rest of the month was spent wondering why, and doing things to occupy my mind. RIP Peter.

A nice little Adams River bull trout


I think I played this one too long...

Another nice bull.

One of my favourite runs on the Methow, a good place to clear one's head.

Pretty nice weather for November.

Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
and learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

October 2012

October wasn't a fishing month, it was a wedding month!

Way to go Barry & Marie Soleil! 

Dapper lads - me, Barry and Lucas (Best Man)

Parents of the groom enter The Library at Manteo where the kids were married

Marie Soleil arrives with Pierre, her dad

Barry arrives with Diane, Marie Soleil's mom 

I do!

Awwww! 

Marie Helen - Marie Soleil's sister, and
Alison, the ring-bearer and her new sister-in-law 

The Woodwards with our newest family member: Marie Soleil!

Well, I guess we did a little fishing in October…

Success for Jim!

I have a sneaking suspicion big stoneflies hatch on this river!

Ahhhh, afternoon sun

You saw it here first - Wendy used her waders and boots
and went steelheading with me on the Methow River!

A bit of farming equipment ended up in the river

Long time no post...

Sigh... Summer is long gone. Work has been very busy, thus the lack of posts. I had planned on only keeping a summer blog, anyhow, but as time permits I'll at least pop a few images up from time-to-time.

You might have notice the new banner image. I was at a South Okanagan lake last weekend for a day of fall fishing (the days sure are short now!) and, during a break in the rain I spied those beautiful colours and snapped a quick photo. Gotta love those fall colours!

Speaking of colourful, here's a fish from that day - lots of colour for a triploid!:


Here's a fish caught near the end of summer from a 4x4 only lake near Tunkwa 
Here's a fatty from Kidd Lake, caught on our way home from one of our last weekends at Tunkwa

Adams River sockeye - the gulls like to eat the eyes first...
Red Lake football brookie caught near the end of the season
One of the last Tunkwa fish of the summer - a decent one!
Time for bed.

Cheers! KW
