Pretty neat to see some posting about fun stuff even in an end of an era.
I guess I should type about some memory although there's so many.
Streamers seem to be the topic so it's a streamer memory.
Long ago once here, probably 3 times for me we did a fly swap. I included a go to streamer developed specific for that river. Or basically any river that had salmon smolts.
So many flies were shared, 3 of memory i received that really produced were Jack's spruce fly, peacock nymph and Clint's stone fly.
Both those fishers are now gone and missed here.
Throughout my over 20 years as a contributor to this forum I've met and shared some water and good times together.
Over the years people come and people go on a public forum.
Every once in awhile do lasting relationships happen. I'm grateful to have , to this day some of those.
It's because like minded people don't just focus on a single topic, it's always about the fun stuff that makes our lives better .
I've pretty much stopped communicating on forums. They just seem to be a place of opinions instead of a community. At my age I don't expect to teach or help others through a forum. Goals have been reached and people established as friends.
As for fishing the salmon river:
If it's still your gig that's awesome !!
I certainly enjoy that place and river itself.
It's no longer a must, but more so a visit to resident friends.
I don't enjoy the popular fishing areas that get pounded to the point of force feeding for my recreation purpose.
It's about a different direction for myself.
I surely appreciate the innuendo. Nothing gained, nothing lost. I'll continue researching about tomato blight
Peace and tuna.
