Kick ass weekend at "The Beast"

We took advantage of the 4-D condo in K-Town.   Schralping in the 802 and sipping local microbrew beers with perfect weather did not suck.  9 hrs of mountain biking, alpine slide, disc golf and johnny boys to get cracked up on caffeine!

Hooked?

Been fishing every day, save one or two at most, for the past month! When do you know when you have a problem? Psyched though... Got a two pounder, a 2.5 pounder, and a 3 pounder under the belt and a bunch of around 1 pounders including numerous perch out of the reservoir. Fuck, another hobby!

Ps... Just bought my second rod (obviously much more expensive) and have spent about $700, maybe even a little more so far... Good thing I already have (almost, lol) everything I need for the snow season! Guess when we find something we love we really make it part of us... Fish hard, Ride hard, Live hard. Enjoy the rest of the summer boys, I can already feel the flakes!

The "nook" is gone

upsetting moment for the 4-D-generate crew and the infamous sheep needed to drown down the sorrows

Pumpkinseed

Never caught one of these before. Its a type of Sunfish called a “pumpkinseed”. Definitely one of the most colorful and vibrant freshwater fish I have ever caught. The picture doesn't really do it justice as to how bright it was. Cool fish - Blue, red and orange colors. It was caught at Rockland Country Club and was about 10"-12" - apparently very big for this type of fish.

Finally, my first keeper!

Caught this bad boy @ the pond behind the old Ambulance Core bldg. in Congers off Kings Highway. Saw him jump and threw over him, he bit on the way in. 2Lbs. 8oz's and 16 inches long. Sweeeeeet! This other guy I hooked and almost took his eye out. Ps...there are HUGE catfish in this pond.

Age is just a number..celebrating Panco's 30th b-day

These guys clearly look like a bunch of 30 year olds........

Id rather be fishing...

This is my new spot at Dr. Davies. I had to ask the Davies permission but they were cool and this spot kicks ass!

Question: How do you know when ur fish is NOT a keeper?

Answer: When their not even as big as the label on ur beer bottle! Haha...

Noreen's FIRST fish EVER! Caught at Fong's...

HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE!

BFL a.k.a. Dowdy Lake @ Redfeather

24hrs of camping, fishing, wine and beer drinking, frying up trout, temps from 32-65, rain, hail, snow and wind gusts up to 70mph... although we all froze, what a trip!

We caught about 60 fish in 5 hrs of fishing over a dusk and dawn... one helluva run. Only keeping 12 fish for frying, the brown trout was the highlight (featured above). We caught about 58 rainbow trout, 1 brown trout and a bluegill.

Give me that fillet of fish, give me that fiiiiish!

We took a day trip out to LI to see if the Blues started running yet...oh did they! 2-29", 2-27" and 1-26". Good times and GREAT fish tacos! Oh, and Mike and I finished a bottle of rum by 12 noon. Sunny skies and good friends, couldn't of asked for more! Two were released.

Let the Battles Begin...........

Berthoud Pass - Final Day

Couldn't believe that it was May. Arrived at BP and heard reports of 4-6" on the east side of the divide, so I went west. After a short 45min trek just beyond the weather station I did some searching around. West of the divide picked up more snow, especially on westerly slopes (which is featured in the video). A least a foot fell overnight (med-high water density), but was still fun and yes, it was deep enough for a few face shots... Until Next Year!

05.15.10 - Berthoud Pass (Day 6)

Could this be it for Winter 09/10???

April 28th-29th...

April 30, 2010 Flagstaff (Alta,UT)

When Snowbird Resort recorded 33" of new snow, Tiphanie and I decided to skin up Flagstaff and make some turns.  WOW!

One final backcountry ski run for me.  These were most likely my deepest turns of the 09/2010 ski season

A frozen face still knows how to smile!

Smiles don't lie how good the run was!
