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.

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......
moron!
