early june, high water

Missed a few days due to some sort of bug in the guts but let's just say that it has passed. High water, it's out of it's banks , flowing over 20,000 cfs. no visibility, all sorts of floating debris, scum/debris mats and foam piles in slack areas. I like the mats and foam piles though, generally hol...

Re: Where'd e-go?

The general health is better, usual old timer aches and pains but that comes with the territory. The only thing that kept ...

Re: Wise old man indeed

So I'm looking at April's schedule, looks like I have one day to fish a bit. It will probably need to be an early morning or late evening excursion. Then I look at the Montgomery gauge... 4,625... fuck. It's going to be like that all Spring isn't it? So I ask myself, "Self, where does Ken fish...
