It actually began in late September, with a couple steelhead on the Grande Ronde and a huge win by Oregon State over USC. The fish:
The Fly
The Flat:
The camp:
The Candidate:
The River:
The Mountain:
The Man:
After that it was off to the Midwest, to fish the fabled waters of Michigan and Indiana:
And what October is complete without a trip to Baja for a rooster:
The End. (Cue cheezy, cliche, sunset-shot music.)

It was great until the Joke-quiz picture. And was the "flat" your tire or your defense?

Awesome magazine. I love it all except the Obama sign. Will he try to socialize our streams next?

Not to hate just to reply.
Obama is against the status quo, thus all pocket fishermen will be banned from blue ribbon streams.

I love when Obama gets criticized for being "socialist."
One of the best ideas this country ever had was "socialist": National Parks. (Oh, and fire departments and police departments. Those are "socialist" too.)

So, you're somehow trying to say that police and fire services were originally socialist ideas? How about televisions, or Twinkies? Those socialist too? Maybe rainbow trout are socialist? Hell, we can call anything "socialist" if police and fire services are going to be called socialist! I'm sure the very first police organizations got together and said, "You know what fellas...we're all socialists here, so we're going to get together and go force people to give us money so we can make a wagon to haul water to save their homes if they catch on fire." For God's sake....if you're going to make a point, how about using your brain and not just spewing intellectually dishonest liberal talking points. Geesh. I followed some very nice recommendations here where I was planning on subscribing to the mag. but the last thing I want to do is give a socialist like you any of my capitalist money. Oh and btw - nice forums. bwahahahaha....what a cess pool mess that is....

You're right, Get'nReal. Damn, if only I would've "used my brian" and compared cops to Twinkies. I always get so caught up in those talking points! As for my forums, comparing them to cesspools really isn't fair to cesspools.

Dear prospective southern Indiana resident:
You would hear the hum of the dirt track four miles from your house on Friday nights. The sound would somehow travel all that way through the absurd continental humidity. It would be eighty five degrees at ten p.m. You would sit on the porch and drink beer and suffocate.
