I think I know who you are talking about and it is a possibility but I am not sure.

Great job on a great lope and congrats to your dad also. Hopefully there will be more to come for you and your dad.

Still these pics make for some great stories and always make me laugh. That is just to funny there.

Man awesome weekend. Some great sheds and a great bear. So you are gonna email me the coordinates to where all these bears are right

Yeah I did Red Rabbit. I am hoping that I will be able to work up there each summer through college.

Ok here are the last 4 species of Salmon and I will have a few more stories for the trout,dolly vardon and grayling along with wildlife and scenery. These 2 pics are of the same Chum Salmon. I only caught 6 but this is the only one that I got any pics of. This next pic is of a Pink Salmon. I caught so many Pinks I was getting sore. I would catch about 10 every hour and they fight good on a 5 weight. This next pic is of my 1 and only Sockeye that I caught. Where we were located not a lot of sockeyes run up there but we do catch a few. These next few pics are of Silver Salmon. I left when the run was really starting to heat up. I was still able to catch a lot of them though. The cool thing about our lodge is that we specialize in topwater for Silvers. Seeing a silver erupt out of the water at a popper is a site that is to magnificent for words. Here is a pic of a silver caught on a popper. And here is a closeup of the silver on the popper. Hope you guys enjoy. Also there will be 3 more stories to come on my Alaskan adventure.

Some awesome scenery pics there Desertbull what unit are you guys hunting if you dont mind me asking? mxslaugh those are some very nice bear pics hopefully you can tag that guy.

Well I caught alot of Kings this year and 1 broke my new St. Croix Avid 8 weight but I still landed it. It was my largest King of the year in the 40 to 45 pound range. Guiding my clients biggest king was in the 50 to 55 pound range and the biggest King from the lodge was in the 65 to 70 pound range. All the fishing was site fishing which made alot of fun. I found out that the Kings are super stubborn and the only way to catch them is to keep slapping the fly in there face til they get so angry they have to hit it. Here is my very first King. It is a chrome hen in the 20 to 25 pound range and is about the average king that we catch. This is my second King I caught. It is a buck that had been in freshwater for a while and was starting to turn red. This guy weighed in the 35 pound range. This was my biggest king of the year and it is also the one that snapped my rod. I fought him for 30 minutes and he took a big run and snapped my rod. I then fought him for another 10 minutes with my new and improved 3 foot 1 piece 8 weight before I landed him. This guy was in the 40 to 45 pound range and is super red. I also landed this fish with an 8 pound test leader. This is a picture of me with one of my clients and the biggest fish I guided to. It is a 50 to 55 pound buck that was pretty red but still in good shape. It took about 90 minutes to land. This was the largest king caught from the lodge this year. It is an estimated 65 to 70 pound buck. It is really red but it still took over 2 hours to land on an 10 weight with 30 pound test leader. Sadly I was not the one to catch this monster. Here are some more pictures of Kings. This is a picture of 2 Kings and a trout in the creek. This is a picture of 1 King and a trout in the same stretch the next day. This is a picture of a different salmon as the picture above only 5 minutes later. This is a picture of an ariel King during a 30 minute fight.

AZP&Y I was able to catch all 5 species of salmon this summer. I will pics of all the species up later on dont you worry. And that is the famous egg sucking leach. Black bunny strip folded over on top of black cactus chenille with a lead wrapped body and dumbell eyes with pink cactus chenille wrapped around the dumbell eyes all on a 1/0 hook with 2 size 5 splitshot up the line about a foot. Very heavy rigs but the fish are down deep.

Coues 7 I started guiding at the age of 17 this summer and turned 18 a few weeks later. I am hoping I turn into a great guide.

I got the November hunt in 36B and my dad got the October hunt in 36B. First story and pics will be up tomorow once I get back from Cabelas with a new pack, lots of ammo and lots of fly tying material.

I am back and will have pics and stories up within the next few days and for a while

I am leaving this saturday for my job expedition in Alaska. I will miss this board alot while I am up there and will post many pictures upon my return. Take care and catch some Arizona fish.

In 9 hours I will be on a plane on my way to Alaska. Everybody take care and best of luck to everybody fishing this summer and on the draw. Hope you all get drawn for what you wanted to.

I would say muley because of the ocotillos in the background.

Awesome find CRB I hope I can find something unique like that someday

Me personally I would say that the elusive desert ghost I mean this is coueswhitetail.com and the coues is the greatest big game to hunt.

If you guys plan a welcome back party in the mountains that weekend I will gladly show up and bring some fillets

I will be back on August 15th, so I will be there for a little over 2 months www.lakemarie.com This is a link to the lodge I will be working at for those interested in checking it out

Congratulations man. Hope she will still let you do all of your hunting
