Smoke?

smog?

Forest fires. One of them is just west of us, but they are all over western Montana. Some of the smoke is from Washington, Oregon, and California. The rain only knocked down the smoke for one day. It's back just as heavy as ever.

Yesterday's Report

The fishing was not quite as good yesterday. The bite was extremely light and that for a fish that is known to bite light. We only caught 16 fish keeping only 8 of those. Every fish released was of legal size and all but one of the kept fish were in the 13" range with the smallest being 12.5" and the largest pushing 15". I'm not sure how I am calling that not quite as good but there it is.

Cleaned 36 released 33. Of the released fish only 3 were under 10”.

I fished with the Lone Stranger in his boat yesterday. He has a pan optics transducer for his Garmin and is pretty good with it. We find new brush piles every time we go out.

Today, being a weekend day was a work day. I worked on the Ranger boat restore project a bit. Managed to carpet a hatch, that makes two of nine finished. Also organized all the wiring in the bilge.

Bonus was that the Lone Stranger taught me how to make mini spoons out of ice blades so I poured 25 of them and poured another 100 jig hooks of various sizes.
