I am so sick of these chickenshit, no-virtue-having, Confederacy-respecting motherfuckers who've never spent a second of their life in selfless service to others, let alone this country, claiming that they're the true judges of who does and doesn't stand for the foundational truths of this republic.

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

Klamath dam removal has been a spectacular success for salmon. Really awesome to see them getting farther up the river and into tributaries than expected.

Went out and saw my friends in the water today. Once again, they were all too small to make it up to shore. But for the first day with a western fly rod, I was just happy to get interest (and a ton of info from the host here).

He keeps bringing it up which makes me think he's been confronted with a fairly serious diagnosis. Whatever it is, I enjoy hearing him repeatedly bring up his mortality.

Catching that last fish felt like a bit of vindication that I am learning where to find trout. I had tried this spot a while back and nothing. But I kept running through that deep channel and got one today.

Fairly sure this one is a rainbow. I assumed cutthroat at the time, but the mouth and color looks more like a rainbow. This river has a steelhead population, and this is much lower than the cutties. It also took the fly and fought very differently.

Both of these cutthroat were caught on the backside of that fern covered boulder. It was a bitch to cast here and when landing the first one, I wrapped up in the tree on the right.

The other pool was on a tributary. Tons of fry in there.

A small coastal cutthroat held in a wet hand. The top of the fish is green. A rainbow purple pink tone goes down the side of the fish. It is densely spotted and has diffuse parr marks on its side.

Rainy Friday bluelining with the Keiryu Rod Co minimax (mostly... Got our a couple others out too).

Water is starting to rise in this Coast Range river system.

In fact, it almost has me looking forward to bad weather keeping me in this winter. Movies like this make our 100 inch TV shine.

When have voters ever rewarded a party for preventing a bad thing from happening? They punished Democrats even though they reduced the damage of the pandemic and post-pandemic.

I don't want revenge. I want justice. And I want a willingness to go to all ends of the earth to get it.

I would have paid for the most expensive release day version of this. I would expect it to be aggressively mid and I'd be excited for it.
