Hey all! Haven't posted in a while.Have been hitting the rivers fairly hard since just before Christmas with only a couple of recent "float down- shake,shake/ flash,flash-gones" to show for it.Have been showing the future son-in-law the ropes since late coho season.Taken him on about four outings for steel,and yesterday he comes up with this

wild doe quickly released after the photo op. I think the grin says it all!
