    I hope nobody is bothered by this one. My parents live on the river and we spend time on the dock in the summer. We always have a line in and we catch these rainbow trout (also known as Kamloops Trout).

    We typically catch 2-3 each day and eat them that day. They're a little bony, but they're tasty. My father sent me a shot of this beauty- he caught it today while I was mountain biking.


    oh man that's such a gorgeous fish!  on the fly? lure? bait?
    do you guys have graylings in your neck of the woods?

    We cast out with baited hook. There's a sweet spot we cast into and the current keeps the baited hook from plummeting.

    For every trout we catch... we catch 2-3 suckers. We throw these pests into the river for the eagles- they're all over the place. I'll try and get an action shot for you guys. Actually, I'll post one of the pictures I have saved on my laptop as soon as I post this.

    Just noticed these two Spotted Doves soaking up some morning sun on the backyard lawn after a frosty Winter's morning.

    Thank you, Thirty.  But I gotta tell you, at this point in the game, I never from one day to the next.  Could be dull tomorrow, lol. 
    Mornings don't count.  I'm pretty much comatose until around 11 AM, Haha!
