LOL...no, orange on Tuesdays.

I really don't look at the hair bands... that is another nice fish & makes me envious! It's only October and already I have the flu.

As I recall a salmon will lose 1/4 to 1/3 it's weight when dress cleaned. - so that fish could have been in the 10 to 11lb range when landed.

Keep going... I think I'm beginning to like you. ;D

Thanks for the photo Yoda. I am always the one taking photos of fish and other people, rarely have photos of myself these days.



In case you're wondering, that's not where I caught it. I paraded with the fish like a hero down to Yoda so he could see it... Oops, no I meant so I could tell him that they were biting somewhere else and he should go there. ;D

Well, I was purposely leaving them for you but after you failed to catch my fish last week, I had to pull them out myself. ;)

Mid river, below Tamihi.
Didn’t get sun until well after 11. I wasn’t prepared for the wind and the prolonged shade and froze my niblets off.

Felt slimy on rod grip and found my hand bleed like crazy. The cold wind peeled the skin and I did not feel at all.
