A Hobo Runs Through It

While travelling last week in Salt Lake I was able to catch the rockin sold out Fly Fishing Film Tour stop at the Tower Theater and spend some quality time with tour crew pals Thad, Matt and Mad Dog.The following day we had the choice of throwing some delicate dry flies on the Lower Provo or going Brownlining for Golden Bones in downtown SLC.

Golden Bone on the bank.

Matt with the slab of the day.

Could I have a piece of bread please.

IGFA Launches new North Pacific Coast Grand Slam Club

Our man Agent Montana just tipped us off on this:

IGFA Launches new North Pacific Coast Grand Slam Club

 

The IGFA recently announced the creation of a new North Pacific Coast Grand Slam Club giving inshore anglers there an opportunity to earn recognition for outstanding angling achievements.

 

The new grand slam consists of Chinook salmon, rainbow/steelhead trout and Dolly Varden. Anglers must catch all three of these species in the same 24-hour period in order to qualify as a North Pacific Coast Grand Slam recipient.

I guess English Pete got lucky: World Record Steelhead?

No judgment here - just reporting the news...

One week after we fished with buddy Jim Kerr, he drifted down the Hoh only to come upon English Pete and this sight.  It's a story that has generated all kinds of emotion and clamor in our neck of the woods, and until now we'd not seen a picture.  We stumbled upon it on The Big Pull.  Big pull indeed.  If you like unprecedented news, different perspectives, and erections that last more than 4 hours, you're gonna want to read this in full detail.

Rumor has it the IGFA is involved.  It's positioned to be the new world record steelhead on the fly.

What would you do?

A fish with a transparent head

The common name for the fish is "barreleyes." Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute investigators recently figured out why this species has such an unusual head. Its eyes can actually rotate within its "skull," so the transparency allows the wary swimmer to keep a literal eye on happenings above it, as well as to the sides and directly in front.  LINK
