    Yeah. From the canals. Fat as mud. 9.62lb. The fishing has been pretty hard. I landed a few but not many big fish and salmon were hard to come by.

    And some bad news. Check fish samples. But then milk samples are an eye opener. Baby bait.

    Beast.

    You’ve ruined him for life now
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Cooling off here in Northern Canada, had a few hours on the House river northern Alberta, fly fishing for Artic grayling, I caught about 8, most were very small, 4" or so, couple about a 1/2-3/4 lb, 10-12", Nice Fall day, loving the new 4wt, Scott fly rod, hopefully new time I catch one worthy of a photo.

    Was in great nick, very surprised when it’s gut was completely empty, it did take a whitebait looking softbait ��,we let a lot go but the boy wanted to take this one home to show off and fair enough, it’s fed 4 adults and 4 boys tonight, real good and plenty left.
