I have salmon fillets. I will also smoke a couple of chickens. Baked potatoes are easy. Looking forward to it!

I didn't go this year so I got mine from a friend who is a commercial fishermen at Bristol Bay. He lives in Rolla.

Good. I didn't want it to go to waste

I hope someone took the salmon fillets home with them I left in the frig

Had a great time as usual. Special group of people! Fished with Ham Friday afternoon and Saturday. We got a late start yesterday because someone went to the wrong access - Wildcat instead of White Hole. I hate when that happens - but when you don't google and go on your memory that's what happens I fished pretty much the same thing both days - 1/16th or 1/25th oz sculpin or a black/sculpin jig with 2 pound line. Ham said we caught over 100 each day. He has the clicker so I'll go with his numbers. I had 4 cutts and 2 smallies, rest rainbows. Fished Rim Friday, White Friday first half and Buffalo the last few hours of Saturday. Buffalo was the best - best bite and bigger fish. I had one brown at Buffalo and the 2 smallies. There's plenty of fish in the river, that's for sure. We fished anywhere where there was current - faster the better. Head of shoals, in the shoals, tail out, behind any rocks and wood - there was a fish or two. I just wonder how this situation is going to help the fishery - I think it will grow bigger fish. Less fish, more food. Ark needs to figure out how to help those trout not get caught and let them grow. They need a better food base and protection from the meat eaters. And like Ham said, protection from the chummers-bait/catch-and-release guides. This will, though, hurt businesses on the river. I talked to Miles and he said they took a hit, and he's worried about 2026.

It's the weekend of January 30-31 50% off all rooms, stalls and boats for those participating. When calling for reservations, just say you're attending Taneyfest.

I'll be there about 11-noon tomorrow. Who should I call that will have an open seat in a boat?

I'll probably stay with you there.

I ordered extras

I can bring a boat but I'd like to wade some too.

Thank you
