Afternoon fish

Might as well blog as we're with internet and in a warm, dry place! The day started quite late as we had a good sleep - rising at 11:15 to cover off the jet lag. We were treated to a great breakfast and eventually hit the water. A mixed bag of weather with some wind as the system moved out. Sighting was only fair, but we certainly worked a few nice fish. It was AJ's day, to say the least. A few nice shots of big browns came from the day. A very good day! The late afternoon hike out was gorgeous. As always, click to see larger shots.

Powerplay - About BC Rivers, dams, and hydro power

We don't tend to enter the political realm here as we focus on the enjoyment of fly fishing and our trout, but this came in to our inbox and is of interest. It's obviously political, with the sentiment that the BC gov is secretly selling river rights to private companies. It's an interesting thing to watch, and it certainly isn't confined to BC. Dam issues run the world over. I recall reading an article about a Maori leader in New Zealand who was happily quoted as saying the life spirit of a river has value, and that value can be monetized. So much for the free flowing Mohikonui R on the west coast of the S Island. Regardless, this link is worth a visit:
