TR: Ramblin the southern Palouse w/Flyrod
Just back from a few days wandering the bi-ways of the So. Palouse w/
my son. Of course we fished our streatch of the Touchet and did OK . . . nothing big but lots of fun. River running decent and comming up as some of the irrigation cuts back. However with alfalfa approaching $200 a ton (did I hear that right?), some folks are pushing for a bigger 4th cutting. Wheat this year was problematic but those who made a crop will get paid well. The early wetter that usual Spring gave rise to a huge Rust infestation, and therefore big crop duster spraying costs. Multiple hits, at $8 per acre gets old quick. Amazing pilots these guys, . . . Marine close ground support skills and elan. I saw some amazing flying this summer. My son wanted to check out all the main water in 3 counties so we put on close to 1k comming and going and wandering. BTW Walla Walla has enough "wine tasting" rooms downtown to get one more than tipsy. In particular we fished the Tucannon from Starbuck and the lower Snake junction on up toward Marengo. The Gearheads were getting a few Steelhead and snickers aside, we were game. No steelhead this time but saw one, and the bows and Cutts were frequent enuf to make it all worthwhile. And there is a great and strongly recommended new BBQ in Starbuck run by a nice young couple fisherman friendly. Last nite I canght 3 very fiesty "bows" on orange Stimulators (from Dingles store, mainstreet of Dayton) during the early part of a large October Caddis hatch. Then drove 270m to the ferry and home. More soon. Dave |

Dave Personally, I'd have driven (or possible even walked) the 270 meters myself but, aside from that, yeah. giles who remembers a time when a lot of folks around here whined incessantly about a time when such personal rememberances were a rare treat.....despite the fact that they could never be quite bothered enough to say so at the time...... |
