Fishing The Henry's Fork....Bob's Secret Hole...

Meanwhile, re-Yurt ... After being humiliated by "Hank" famous trout, it was time to change some scenery.My child, and children in general do not seem to understand catch and release. Of course, I have not really had anything of issue (except that seven .. err .. "FIFTEEN INCHER) remained difficult to return to the yurt and explain my lack of fishing success. He greeted me with his great "Dad you can not miss" the eyes, and we expect to be told of the burgers, which away.Especially already used for fishing success, as most fish are caught grandfather tin, which is basically a "good living" ready to remove the fish of the day at a moments notice. So when Dad comes home without a history of fish or seafood, you can see his father "just fell a nail" on his face. MA-kids be kids, you're ready to go the next step, which means a bike ride through the park at the old Harriman State Ranch.We rode the mile of old historic buildings are in park land in the state. The ranch was "one" of the summer homes of EH Harriman, Union Pacific Railroad fame, and is managed as a wildlife sanctuary is now.The bike along the Henry range and while my daughter was chatting whle riding, I kept looking to see if all rising.Old fish break.We habits are hard to drop our bikes and began to explore the buildings. Unfortunately, this being a weekday, many of the buildings were not open so we could not enter. One of the gardeners saw us looking through the windows of buildings and wandering through his riding lawnmower. He killed the engine and gave us dilapidated buildings and told us a little history on the ranch. He said if we were still there Friday, were the opening of the buildings and make some tours.Now, being a gardener in a park in the Last Chance Idaho State should not be one of the most High pressure can be used - because "Bob" - was a talkative type. One might ask how he knew that his name is Bob? - Well, obviously reading his name badge! AJ Klotter - private detective! However, "Bob" was full of questions. "Where were we? How long will we live? What are my views on existentialism? OK - the last one did not ask - but if it did not surprise me, because a man can do a lot of thought behind a riding lawnmower. more.So But I digress again, the conversation eventually turned to Henry's Fork fishery. Naturally, he asked how the fishing was at the ranch in Texas, and Bob proceeded to tell me who made the most of their catch at the top of the container at all, "go fish limit of six sections." He did something to expect from a guy in the back of a riding lawnmower in Last Chance Idaho. He offered his "SECRET FISHING hole." Perhaps it was the problem of malnutrition was my daughter, or maybe he just thought it was a kind, "friendly" - but - "Bob" is ready to unlock the key to fork.h Henry told me he never used to do this, but I thought it looked like a child who appreciate his "Secret Spot". And if you think I'm going to rape "Bob" confident saying this is good when you're wrong! "What I mean is "Bob" did everything possible to deliver personal Draw me a map - as a sort of treasure map Henry's Fork - one right in my booklet of the grounds of the ranch. She gave me detailed instructions - like "turn left at the Phillips 66, get off at #%$^* street right and go exactly 3.3 miles, make another right, to reduce as far as it can go , walk towards the river, walk along the boulder, or a decoy to throw the worm or fly behind that rock and I guarantee you'll catch a fish! "A guarantee! He did not even get that from any store fly! "Bob" was very sure of himself, and looked at his map on the care and feeding provides the brochure, just to make sure that only "Bob" and I would be two of the 48 people who have the place where the "Secret Spot". I asked if "Bob" needs a blood oath or if he had noticed nothing of men Ashcroft in the industry - because not even want the government knows about this place. None of this seemed to worry about "Bob" and I do not like the taste of bonds # 20 - so shut the brochure in his back pocket and said: "Bob" I wanted to test the

The Salmon Versus The Jetboat - And The Winner Is

The weekend of Labor Day has passed and I was fortunate to spend a day here in the Rogue River Oregon.Not become a "tourist" in my backyard very often, we are treated to an exciting day for a jetboat to travel up and down the central section of the Rogue in Grants Pass.This is a bit 'of a change in the river trip for me as my usual way of travel or a foot or driftboat raft. The jetboat Fast Lane is an adventure, usually for tourists with limited time and looking for readers Digest version exploration Rogue. We had a visit from the company and fishing, because it is not interest them, this was the perfect trip for them to know the Rogue River better.First a bit, "let me say that the journey is very pleasant and exciting, even with old and young, shouting and smiling enthusiastically, as the jetboat go to his patented 360-degree wheel, which almost always leaves passengers wet, laughing and asking for more laps. In fact, if someone would start a "Whirl "which could be driven by upstream and downstream, would undoubtedly be filled customers.Puking customers happy - but happy! The trip is also very informative, with a knowledgeable guide / driver of the boat making history, emphasizing fauna and all the fun with a box of a few "diatribe" that is expected of this form of entertainment river. "Yes, I once had a fan of the Dallas Cowboys on board, which kept me ears. I told him I was going to avenge him, and when I flew in this flock of Canada Goose and left to go ... right on it .... you can believe that we saw ?".... Otter, osprey, bald eagles, herons, egrets, deer, ducks, geese, and the homes of millions of dollars to the park and also saw settings.We salmon fishermen.Being salmon in the center of the fall salmon run on the Rogue, which met throughout the trip. The drivers are very friendly and always slow with 1100 HP engine to a minimum in the way. This helps maintain a partnership very unstable between the non-motorized boats, shore fishermen and boats motor to a balance that even the UN admire.They obviously did not mean for the trip, but there are "struggling skills" when These use.Jetboats River Rogue River have worked for several years, in reality much longer I was here, and always has been some conflict between fishermen and the boats that fly up and down the river, ninety miles per hour , I read the passages in the great books of the river ", which speaks of the fishermen get" drowned "or" bankies "throwing sinkers jetboat by.Everyone striata said" that was the river. "Allegations followed increasingly the importance of jobs and tourist dollars, against the fishing rights and the effect on standard Salmon.By the past, today co-existence is very smooth and once they are civil.More fishermen or fish is half of the battle would be a fine or a fall of 40 cranes Salmon flies through the air, drawing applause and admiration of jet crowd.I can hear some of the "tourists", exclaiming how wonderful it was to see consideration the large salmon being caught by the river souls abundant. Of course, many of them did not know that some of these fish are collected and taken home illegally.Having just returned from Alaska where snagging is legal (Gill below the plate) and is considered the standard practice of fishing was interesting to see the different attitudes between the rivers of the residents of Alaska and the lower part of the "48" River Guide dweller.Our / driver more than once said Burr ongoing and illegal harvesting daily trips to see their along the River. He also turned the boat around once so we could see a fisherman from the networks' lack hooked fish that correctly predicted not to be landed until they were out of sight. Thus, the angler fish are caught and could boast of their fishing skills to work again on Tuesday! He was right! The only problem I had with this saint, "you - I know of a conservative attitude to fish" is that here is a power of 1100, ninety miles an hour, after production of the rocket travels on water and downstream - sometimes ten feet of water - by calling the fishermen, though without saying that the cause and the effect of these motor boats are sometimes not in the best interest of the migration of
