Nice - I especially like the brookie photos. I haven't seen one over 8
inches this year, so it's nice to see they still make 'em regular size.


I thought 8 inches WAS regular size for brookies!

Hmph!

:-)

On the bright side, I'm bringing a bit of the best of what remains (a
load of Black Butte Porter and Mirror Pond Pale Ale) to the Slide Inn on
the 10th....

um, since wayno has the good manners to avoid fine brew when in the
company of beer-swilling swine like me...

One can only hope such self-sacrifice in the service of others will be
rewarded in due course.....

might i trouble you by placing
an order for 6 of each, with reimbursement to be made in the evening
hours by the madison at the slide inn? i need to increase my stock of
ready liquids as danl has indicated he'll be foraging.

Very good, sir. Your order has been processed. Kindly expect delivery at
or around 5 pm, 07/10/05.

My brother is at Lapine SP for a week or so, you might bump into him (Dodge
Hemi quad PU).

So long as he doesn't bump into me WITH a Dodge Hemi quad PU.

I wish I were there. Working and looking at those photos is
a killer.

You got to come down here eventually; might as well be soon.... g

Nice TR and photos, JR. Your swimming hole reminded me of a lake I often
fish:

Nice looking piece of water.

.... A neighboring lake has very decent sized brook trout.
This lake has more-than-decent holdover rainbows which also make a nice
dinner:

Must be something wrong with my monitor; the faces on those fish look
just like the aliens in "Mars Attacks."

Any idea yet, Chris, when your rescheduled JD smallmouth nanoclave might
happen? I'm sure I can't make it for the whole three days, but depending
on how it's structured, I might be able to zip over, rent a pontoon at
Service Creek, and join for a day.

They do, kind of.

Thanks for TR and pics. The brookies there seen to have a growth problem.
(uhh . . .they are bigger than the one's I seem to catch here)
And you swimmin' hole looks more like a fishin' hole to me.

There are fish in it, and every now and then I'll see folks fishing,
sometimes from float tubes but mostly from canoes. Because it is nutrient
poor, however (it's spring-fed and very shallow), the fish are small.
Folks who've fished it talk less about the fish than about the
other-worldly experience of floating--being suspended--on its eerily
bright turquoise water (not seen in the photo).

As for me, I used to swim there regularly when friends with kids would
visit from Portland and Corvallis. So, though it's clearly visible from
the road and only twenty yards from a good pull-out, I never stop on my
way out 'cause I'm always going somewhere with more and larger fish. On
the way back, though, especially in summer, hot and tired, I can rarely
resist the urge to spend a half hour cooling off. It seems to be
imprinted on my brain as the one thing and not the other...

Often a good place for birds, too. Those who have done it know there
are few experiences in life that equal floating lazily on your back in
a natural lake, arms spread out, looking up at a hawk who is soaring
lazily in more or less the same attitude, looking down.
