After a lot of unpacking of boxes we took a week off from moving and headed to the Grande Ronde River. We thought we were timing it just right, the flow was set to drop below 1500 CFS and the fishing really picks up as the river drops. Little did we know the water would be a murky brown from intense rain. The fishing was the worst I’ve ever seen it, but getting on the river still can’t be beat.
We took a trip to the coast in search of fish, but returned empty handed...or did we? Sometimes just getting out is what you need. https://youtu.be/7eq9Lv6wk14
Labor Day is approaching and the long hot smoky days of summer draw are drawing to a close. Fire season necessitates sticking close to home over the summer but there have been some chances to escape to a nearby lake or two, and even a couple of days on the coast. Here’s a couple of shots from the last month or two of adventures.
Paulina Lake never disappoints with its blue water and beautiful sunsets. The kokanee are pretty tasty too.
Before fires completely filled the sky with smoke later in August we were treated to a few nice color filled sunsets, including this one spotted on the way back from an evening trip to Paulina.
