Dblhaul:
Very nice job on the seat and cork!
Been a slow year for fishing for me, had a knee replaced in mid April and still can not fully bend it. More surgery happening next month. Still doing my end of September trip, 25th year!
Wineslob:
I was supposed to be at the lake I mentioned last year (6 lb 'Bow) but the fires in Ca. have pushed that back till early Sept. hopefully.
Dblhaul:
Invite is still on for Lowell. Have a great time in CA.
Dblhaul:

Camping for a few days on the NFCDA next week.

What a day on the Joe. I was moving slow due to a slow healing knee replacement and I had forgot my wading shoes for wet wading. Still I had an epic day on the river.
First stop I fished all the runs that most folks do at this hole, then slowly made my way up stream a 1/4 mile or so on rocks still wet with morning dew. Using my wading staff to brush the grass and branches of their water I made my way up stream to a run I had fished last year. Second cast a beautiful 17" cutty took my dry fly. That was it for that run. Made my way upstream a few miles. It's really nice to be able to hit the river on weekdays when there are not alot of folks are out. Second stop was a popular spot in the low 60 mile markers. I worked hard for fish there, did well and decided to move up stream. Next stop was a run that I know, hunters camp there and when I pulled in there were camp sites set up but no one there. I walked the trail to the river knocking down dew knowing I was the first to fish this run today. Over the next two hours I had a fish on most of the time. They wanted a caddis, didn't matter what size, 16 to 8.. it all worked. My best day ever on this water. Fished a Channer 7'-6" 4wt boo with a wulff 5wt line. Will go back next week.
