Stave River / Ruskin Dam

A couple nice fish caught on scud/nymph

Gonzo on his way to Sesame street..

I was at the Stave Sunday and hooked into a few Chum as well as this hatchery Coho, all were released. Salmon season is nearing the end so there's not a lot of good looking fish left but it's still a blast.

Vedder River Rainbow

I was out fishing for Coho and Chum and got a nice little tap tap, I set the hook and landed this nice lil rainbow after a couple jumps..

DIY Thread wrapper

I built this today at work on my lunch break, 3 pcs of 2x4 a pc of ready rod, a couple nut and washers and a diy spring and guide. I got home and gave it a test and she performed as I hoped. I had to ad a few stickers to dress her up!
