Well the fishing started to get good.  The best part was showing up to a couple of gear fishers getting skunked and catching a nice dolly on the third cast.  Fly fishing works a lot better some times.  Also dollies fight like shit, compared to cutts and rainbows anyway, better than grayling though, but then grayling take dries.  If only these fish got a little bigger... At any rate I’ll be steelhead fishing soon on the most famous steelhead stream in Alaska, I don’t quite get its allure a million people lining fish with bobbers and no fly line some even doing the Russian River twitch to catch fish.  I figure I’ll swing a fly let the fish find the fly you know, classic style, who knows how long that will last until I break down and start nymphing.  I did tie some steelhead nymphs, jumbo johns they are called they sure look fishy.  Its starting to feel like summer, we are firing a wood kiln this weekend should be fun but I’m gonna be tired.  I assume it will snow next week probably on May day.  I need some money anybody wanna buy something?  New photos in the fish gallery...
