From Salt Spring Island BC. An expert on retirement ~ family time, grandchildren, a little fly fishing, a little golf, some adventure[ish] travel, eclectic reading and vintage trucks.
British Columbia. I rest my case.

Thanks for that - have a bunch of wet flies that I’ve never fished but will now put to work! Excellent thread!

Nice fish Mike! So that’s why you weren’t on air today!

What a great run Finland is on and because it’s not going to be Canada :( I’m on Team Finland!! They are up 2-1 over the US near the end of the second in the Gold Medal game. Go Finland!

What a sad picture to see. Fished out of here a lot - Telegraph Cove near the northern end of Vancouver Island - and our daughter used to work in the restaurant while going to school. Thinking of Gordie and the whole Telegraph Cove Crew.

Quote continued :) "On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.”

I love that river too. This was 2001 and a very good friends first fish on a fly. Went back this summer and it unfortunately has been discovered :(

No privacy from Peaking Buck here. Looking into our bathroom!

... After many perfect drifts over him with a variety of flys I handed my rod to the guide and he continued to work his way through his tackle box. Nada.

It was a beautiful afternoon, great day on a great river -action but that fish is the only one that lives in my memory. Thanks for asking :)

I cannot forget an uncatchable Brown with the shoulders of a linebacker that neither I or my guide could entice to into a take. It was on on the Bow River in Alberta.

The fish was rising frequently feeding on emergers just below the surface ....
