Dave,

The passes and I-90 opened yesterday bare and wet mostly, but that
snow looks very heavy and gives me the avalanche willies. After some
lady school teachers were crushed last year the State did a lot of
scaling thru the nastier I-90 cuts, but the wet snow tends to increase
the amount of falling rock. We and Oregon have decent systems of video
cams on most of the major cross-state routes which i always check out
before I go very far. I-5 N/S also opened up. But on all they say stay
away from the edges due to washouts.

Hope you're taking a wheelbarrow :-)

Hi, Bill. I'm baaaaaaack. No wheelbarrow, but I did have a fish
break me off on 15 pound tippet, and another bend AND twist the hook.
Both fish were over 20 pounds. My Sage XP 10 ft 7 weight held up
well. Trip report to follow some time in the near future.

p.s. ****, I've had Penn's trout bend substantial hooks, but
gotta admit the 15 lb tippet story is impressive. Glad
you enjoyed yourself. Any stream diving?

Yeah, where *is* Richard when ya need him? I've given up counting the
days of use, but it is well over 440, which means at a dollar a day,
they are now free. And, they are working just as well as when they
were new. Stink a little bit, of course, but still doing the job.

I don't know what kind of hook they use for tying, but it is a very
strong hook, and the fish bent it like it was made of tin.

Never pulled a Reid, half or full. Tripped over a dead fall or two,
but never got wet. Broke a brand new Simms wading staff, my third in
a year. Gonna hafta go back to the Falstaff.
