Biggest rainbow trout I have ever caught.

Fishing for Kokanee at Merwin reservoir (we caught 5) and I hooked into this rainbow, almost 8 lbs!

New car for Lori (and me).

2016 Subaru Limited. Now we don't have to do our road trips in my truck, which is very comfortable but it sucks gas. This gets 33 mpg hwy.

One of my spring projects, a new fence.

I put up this fence so I don't have to look at all my neighbors crap. Garden is in and ready to grow....hopefully!

Spent a couple days in the Redwoods.

Caught my 1st chinook salmon

I caught this 18 lb wild salmon (not a hatchery salmon) on the Columbia river with my brother in law Steve. After a 1/2 hour fight and a mile drift away from our anchor, I finally landed him. What a blast!

Finally made it to Crater Lake. It was amazing!

You will never see bluer water, a must see for everyone's bucket list. The whole area is just beautiful and the story behind it's creation is fascinating.

Our hike today to Ramona Falls on Mt Hood.
