I guess it may be time for me to post something. At least so I don't get too cussed out. I spent a wonderful week in Orofino this last week. We had sponsored a contest with a distributor for Baicor - Western Farm Service, for the top 2 salesman to get either a fishing trip or a 2-day golf outing. Both chose the fishing trip. The first picture is on the clearwater river from our drift boat. This was on Wednesday and I caught the fish in the 2nd picture on that day. It is about a 33" steelhead. The 3rd picture is of the one I caught on Thursday which we had to release. It wasn't any shorter but was quite a bit heavier than the first one. It is a real hoot to land these big fish. Both of them took some better than 5 minutes to land, they will swim to you then dart away . It was really

quite cold, with the temperature being about 34 degrees but the cold came from the humidity and breeze on the river. The last picture is of an eagle that flew by us then landed in the tree. I am not sure you can see it without zooming in a little. I am off this week to Ames, Iowa and Iowa State University for some educational pursuits so will be gone again. If any of you feel sorry for Mom, give her a call she loves it.
