That pond ain't no secret any more. I've seen it at least 4 times.

If you count my "Popiel Pocket Fisherman" I might have had one. But then again, I don't paint my bald spot either!

tundra fish
Speaking of tundra holes, this summer I finally got my fill of catching grayling. You know how fishermen are. Every new species seems to be especially
desirable.
But I gotta tell you, that's one dumb fish. I would wade through a hole in the river and they just keep on feeding. You stir up the bottom while
wading and they don't even bother getting out of way. First I caught them with dry flies. Then I caught them with nymphs. Then I caught them with on
dry flies that no longer floated. Then I caught them on a dead drift. Then they took dry flies that sank and swung in the current.
I told Alex "you can do everything wrong and still catch these fish". I was trying to teach him to flycast. A drift free presentation is beyond his
capabilities at this time. And yet he still caught fish.
"Papa, I'm now ready for the Henry's Fork and Montana. And all those rivers you've been talking about", he tells me. Boy, is he in for a rude
awakening.
Don't get me wrong. Grayling are a lot of fun. And the beauty is unsurpassed. We were catching them at the foot of the Denali mountains. But
challenging, they are not.

Somone said pocket fisherman...
We were just talking about this last week when my brother-in-law was catching catfish with a kid rod and reel.
I remember them well....

I never lost one like that at Christmas Island, but that happened to me at Las Arenas hotel. There is a rat, tat, tat sound as the blade pummels your
rod. I was so naive it took me awhile to figure out where the sound was coming from.
Whistler, you probably stayed at the Cook hotel. You know how they feed you in the morning and then you walk out to those trucks all geared up. Well,
this one fella walked halfway out the door before the screen door snapped back and broke his rod in half. He had a Thomas and Thomas 8wt. It was then
that I found just how expensive those rods are. His was around $700. I think he told me they custom make them for you. Fortunately someone else had a
spare.
On another trip down there I had my Ryall reel go out on me. The drag just completely stopped working. I had a dragless reel. That was a 2 week trip.
Imagine using your palm for a drag on every bonefish for 2 weeks! I had a word with Ryall after that.

Mike Odell...Hi, it's been a while. Are you slaying those blues down there on the Cape? I keep hearing from another buddy who lives near Playito
that the fishing is good...but I know him too well. He just wants me to fly down there and go carousing at the Buzzards Roost or such. As I think
about it...that's sounds pretty good! Fishing just makes it rational. If I do, I will ask permission to come aboard.
I had a great finale with the dorado off Mulege shores before heading north. Glad they were there then, because they kind of disappeared soon
after.... a reel bummer for the summer guys. I fished northern Cal. waters near Half Moon Bay with an old Baja bud, then Oregon coast, then inland to
Idaho, Mt, and ND to some old haunts. Fell in Henry's Fork and almost drowned! Lost my sea legs, I guess. Headed way, way up north to fish/revisit
Reindeer Lake in Sask near NWT, Canada and tried to find this campfire spot on an island where my Dad (see photo below) fished and was camp cook that
day for his compadres...over a half-century ago. I had fished that huge lake with him many times growing up. I wanted to take a photo of me in those
clothes sitting at the same place...52 years later. But danged if I could find the exact same spot..too many years, too big a lake.
Went to Alaska and did all the normal great stuff there, too. Barn-door halibut at Seward and Ninilchik was very good...and we have steaks/fillets
coming out our ears! Yukon was the best time coming back...Dollys, bows, char, and shooing bears off. I have some pics I will post later with a
fishing story or two.
But like I always say...it ain't nothing like Baja! Luego, amigo.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

I must confess, I am an addict to collecting fishing equipo!, My spouse always say's how much more chit do you really need! My answer is--
It's kinda like cosmetics and jewelry! New stuff is good, and old stuff is also very good! So were still very married! Bought out a friends stuff a
few weeks back, gave up salt fishing, NEED to have a Baja garage sale!!!
Got a pickup load of goodies, 42 rods, 430 marlin lures, spools of line,
marrauders,tuna stuff, extras! But NO! May need this stuff!
Maybe I will take up handlining with the local commercial pescaderos,
I have that stuff too! Fishin greed is an uncurable disease!!
In the words of Mr Chuck!
Saludos to all, go forth and fish!!
I need help with my adiction, anyone, can you help me get off this plight that I'm in??

I'm in the "I don't know" category. And I don't want to know.
I'm having a building built for them.

Don Alley;
Check out Large Quansanet.com! big fishin equipt storage,
for not much loot, Course I'm funnin !! I personally think that
all older fisherpersons should build larger and more spacious
climate controlled uv protected areas for all of their goodies,
just in case of uncontrolled factors! Garded of course, by a
six pack of Rotwielers!
Tight Lines!
