Welcome To Summer

Summer is finally here and what a great day to start it off. Sunny and the low 80’s. The wind finally died for a few hours so we woke up at 2:30 AM and headed up to one of the high lakes. Not the highest lakes yet, they are still snow bound. Maybe next week … Read more

One Day In May

The gray, windy, rainy weather is really hanging on here for the most part. It might be sunny for a bit, raining an hour later and maybe some 25-30 mph wind thrown in. Hit and miss on the bike riding, especially on the wet, muddy trails and too windy for kayak fishing. You can always … Read more

Back On The Water

Finally, the snow has melted and the rain has stopped. The lower elevation rivers are still running high and the lowland lakes are kind of muddy so I headed to the mountains. It is still chilly in the morning and the water temp is in the low fifties but the water is crystal clear, skies … Read more
