Adrian and Leonard

Wasn't looking good for us this weekend after the Wenaha brought alot of extra water and some dirt to boot. The river did something quite amazinly going from about 4,210cfs on 11-14 to 1,850cfs 11-15. We did rather well considering all of this. On Saturday we had 8 fish on and 5 to the boat. 2 Hatchery fish and 3 native fish. On Sunday we had another 8 fish on but 6 boated. Always like those improvements!!! 3 of the fish being keepers. One other stat that sticks in mind is this is the 3rd week in a row that a favorite pocket water of mine has given us a fish. Had a great time again. Thanks alot Aaron

Jim and Bill

The best day of November on the Grand Ronde river. Had a great time fishing with Jim and Bill. Saturdays efforts left us with 11 fish on and 9 to the boat. One of these being about a 15# Chinook salmon. The ratio of hatchery to wild fish seemed to have changed this weekend giving us a 2 day avg of 77% hatchery fish. We must have had about 5-6 other good takedowns to boot. Sunday resulted in fishing the upper river. We were 5 fish on and 5 boated, 4 keepers and a native. The biggest fish of the weekend was a 31" buck. Hope to have you guys again. Had a great time and Thanks alot Aaron.

November 8th and 9th, 2008

Another fun year to have Chad and Marcus as fishing friends. Marcus has been fishing with me since he was 11. Oh and Happy B-day to him since he is turning 15 on the 10th. Saturday's fishing efforts on the Lower river produced 7 fish on and 5 boated. Three of those were keepers and two were native. Sunday's efforts from Oregon into Washington produced 3 fish on and 3 fish boated. One keeper and two native fish. One of the Native fish was the above hen 29" probably all of 10 - 11#. Normally you take the length of the fish and subtract 20 to get an avg. weight. She broke that standard of calculation with girth and width. Great fish guys. Thanks a lot, Aaron

November 1st, 2008 Grand Ronde

Weekend of Nov. 1st and 2nd. Saturday brought us 5 Steelhead like these. Two of the five were 30-31" fish 10-11#. Three of these 5 were keeper fish and 2 were native. Sunday's float from Oregon border into Washington produced 3 fish on and 2 boated. Both of those were keepers. Great weekend for anyone looking to have a simply great time. Thank you Aaron

Still Have Not Gone Fishing

It is September 12th and I still haven't had time to go fishing. I will be flipping over my drift boat on Sunday and re-coating the bottom.

Mowing the Lawn

Aaron is out mowing the lawn. I am going to post some pictures of his last fishing trip on the Grand Ronde with the Hauk Family. Looks like they had a good time.

Aaron is Still Working

I haven't had a chance to show Aaron this blog I created for him because he is still working. He is building some kind of irrigation system in Prosser, WA. I am sure once he starts blogging he will tell you all about it!!! The baby is getting a cold and is not feeling well. We are all going to Troy, OR this weekend then over to John Day, OR for a little vacation with my parents and brother and sister and their families. Hopefully we will have fun. Aaron will be fishing the whole time... I imagine.

Time to Teach Aaron

Okay if Aaron gets home early enough tonight I might show him how to blog on this and teach him how to post reviews of his fishing trips along with pictures, stats etc... still trying to connect to river level reports and reports on weather????

First Practice Post

Okay I am building this blog for Aaron and this is the first post. I hope it turns out okay????
