Wetside: Hearing some good stuff per Steelhead in the Wynoochee. 2
fish and 8 hookup days. Gearhead LURES. Uncouth looking Knuckledragger
jewelleria. Boat/guide/gear, all day 150$ per. Tempting Jebus forgive
us our sins for we have . . . in our hearts have lusted. . . Oh ****,
Call the man already.

Dryside: River running high 400-300 cfs, but fish-able. Avoiding the
twisting thalweg, working the slower sides, lots of early evening
bouncing micro caddis, multiple hatches of #16 tan mayflies, I dub
them PMDs or PEDs depending on whom I am bull****ting at the moment,
and match to perfection the hatch with #14 Stimulators, tied in Royal
Wolf garb. And a tiny black and orange, ovipositing micro caddis.
Sweet.

Hungry little Cutts are not too particular, and the bigger "Rainbows"
deliberately working the heavier water and seams may still be around
later in this good water year, and in any case are a joy just to
watch. Wading needed to get them is well beyond my survival envelope.

In the afternoons I work my trees. I planted some 2' to 3' ponderosa
which this last Winter have been hammered badly by the critters and
the hard weather. Most now have the shape of a skinny as a rail guy,
with bushy, straight-up hair. So I re-wrapped them in this plastic
webbing, with a garland of orange and blue bailing twine. Theory being
that chewing on plastic is a deterrent to mammals. Their little
budding candles grow longer every day.

In the mornings I enjoy the simplified domestic regime of being off
the grid, and wandering meadow and river assessing the effect of
Winter flood and Spring's freshets. Rock moves, mud settles, drys and
cracks. Riffles take their diagonals, pools dig themselves.

This little Western river straightens and curls as it's constitution
dictates. From my sugar dike I can see the shallow cave openings in
the basalt bluffs, where Nez Pierce pony trains waited out weather
along this ancient trade route between the Columbia and the Upper
Snake. Where was this river then?

Reset. Repeat X6. Drive 250m over the pass. Catch the 2am ferry.

Hey thank you Frank. One of these days i am going to hook one of those
tyees and write a report post full of terms like "into my backing,"
and "the reel screeched, " "burned my hand" and such. ;+))

How is the wounded vets fly fishing program working out? It would be
great if you could share some about that stuff as it happens. Your
group seems to be the only one Roffians are involved with that have
done this kind of thing. Might help get more of us off our duffs and
working this deal for recovering wounded vets.

There was supposed to be a "Healing Waters" project on the Rapid this
early summer, but the person running it got the job taken away from
him. (Bad juju!) It is being held at Libby's Camps instead.
http://www.libbycamps.com/

Next summer it will return to the Rapid River and Lakewood Camps will
be its sponsor. I hope to be involved not only advising/guiding, but
also by providing some pick-up trucks to transport the vets from pool
to pool.

We've got something coming up this Fall. Will do a story on it.
Also, Nebraska is getting its first Casting for Recovery outing and
I'm the fly fishing lead for the program.
More to come.

Seems like a pretty worthwhile deal. With so many of these guys
suffering head effects from multiple blasts, it would seem that the
ozone and moving water sounds would at least be soothingly
therapeutic. With the Afghan pullback, there will be lots more coming
home.

Actually, Dave, it is the head cases that are the worst. Not head
wounds, mind you. When they met at the Rapid last year, many were
suffering from mental troubles rather than physical.

There will be a guide drift boat at Pond in the River as well as boats
with 9 hp outboards to move the troops around to the different fishing
spots -- The Currents, Lower Dam, Spawning Beds, Island, etc., and
three or four pick-ups to shuttle folks down river.

There was a fellow in camp last week with his wife. They lost a son in
December 09 in Afghanistan. He will be the contact person for next
years event. He's very active in the Wounded Warrier Project as well
as Healing Waters. He's from Winchester, VA and is an active fund
raiser for both causes.

I'll keep roff posted when the time comes.

Dave

In the mornings I adore the simplified calm administration of getting off the grid, and abnormality meadow and river assessing the aftereffect of Winter flood and Spring's freshets. Rock moves, mud settles, drys and cracks. Riffles yield their diagonals, pools dig themselves.
