I changed your skin- that may help.

I've had a mac for almost a year, using safari, and never had this experience. It worked fine "out of the box". It's got to be a setting in your browser. As for the lake cam, I use a windows based program to encode the video so only explorer see it. I am looking into using something else for other browsers.

BINGO!

On July 17, Kansas angler Joe Atchison reeled in what may be a world-record king salmon. Though we'll never know for sure because this brute was released back into Alaska's Kenai River to fight another day. Atchison was guided to the beast by veteran salmon hunter John Whitlatch, who estimates that the fish weighed between 85 and 92 pounds. That weight is based on a measurement of one of the more slender parts of the salmon's girth (it was kicking too much to get it around the thickest part), so 91 pounds is a bare minimum. Whitlatch claims this was a very fresh fish, about seven miles up the river from the salt and still heading higher to spawn, so by not killing it, there is no telling how much giant genetic material was left in the river. The world-record king weighed 97 pounds and was also taken in the Kenai back in 1985. Visit out Field Notes blog for more coverage, and keep clicking to see more shots of this monster salmon.

Gotcha covered. Just copy and paste the embed code. There's a drop down menu below that says "HTML off"; change that to HTML on - Auto Linebreak Mode and it will show up like this. BTY - we picked the perfect weeks to go to camp. They've had 5 days of the last 2 weeks with 60-70 mph winds straight - ALL day and night out of the east. Can't take boats out... can't fly. Stay in cabin and play cards!!

I think I'll go Tuesday. See what all the "fuss" is about

You didn't mention it just had all the seats reupholstered and new carpet and the body was touched up to perfection. It is just like a new boat.

How about on line shows... I'm wanting to do something on line. Just getting ideas. Thanks.

I'm watching North to Alaska. Scenery good of course but all you're watching is someone catch fish. "Look I caught another fish!" Talk about where you're fishing... why you're fishing there... what's going on with the run... how you're fishing and why... be more creative with the camera.

I don't watch alot of TV... but I've seen my share of fishing shows over the years and there are few I'd consider good. Camera angles... effects... I like education. I love education. If you're educating your viewer, all you're doing is bragging. Any ideas?

1ST_Annual_Guns_and_Hoses_Fishing_Tournament_Flyer.pdf This is a pdf file of the tournament flyer with entry form. Here's the rules: Tournament Start Time: 8 a.m. We will send each team out in the order that the team registered for the tournament. Flights will be used with 25 boats per flight on 10-minute intervals. Tournament Weigh-in: Beginning at 4 p.m. Each person weighs in four trout, meaning eight trout per team. Flights will be required to return at their allotted time. If you leave at 8:10 a.m., in the second flight, you will be due back at 4:10 p.m. Other: Boats will be limited to two anglers on one team. No more than two people to one boat. Dock fishing will not be allowed, but you may, of course, leave your boat for a restroom or lunch breaks. Trailering of your boat before weigh-in is prohibited. Absolutely no wading is allowed. All Teams: Will be required to DECLARE where they will fish, either above or below Fall Creek. Those declaring above Fall Creek in the trophy area will not be allowed to weigh in any rainbows “in the slot” – between 12 and 20 inches. Those declaring below Fall Creek are not to FISH above the mouth of Fall Creek at any time during the tournament. No bait restrictions except in the trophy area - follow MDC rules.

I have no idea. Couple of weeks? Depends on how fast they draw it. I got out for the first time this evening for an hour. Started at Dry Wash above Fall Creek and drifted down past the flats working the middle to deep channel. Threw nothing but 3/32nd oz jigs straight - worked off the bottom. They wanted it jigged sharply, not slow. Caught 8 rainbows, mostly at or below the flat. Lots of suckers... not many trout that I could see. Missed more than I landed. My second trout was a very nice rainbow- 19 inches and fat. Started with a sculpin, then tried a white which they ran from, then a sculpin/peach. I wanted to see the jig- see the strike. Great to get back on the water again. Took a while to get my touch back.

A mix-bag for sure. hard to say but I'm sure some generation most afternoons and some mornings.

Nice to know there are rainbows of that size there!! Very nice.

Haven't written a fishing report in almost a month. May be a record... not a good one I guess. But being gone plus not fishing since being back has made is hard to write one. Been real busy with home improvements this past week... but you really don't want to hear all that. This was quite a July, wasn't it? Sure love this global cooling. Fish do too. Generation has been different almost everyday. We check the charts every afternoon to see what they will do the next day - alot of our guests come in and check. It's been pretty accurate. Most mornings it's off and running in the afternoon - up to 4 units. I've heard the same thing everyone has heard about Beaver being dropped resulting in more generation here but we haven't seen it yet. Fly fishing below the dam has been fair to good- depends on the day and time of day. Still catching rainbows on dries - beetles and ants, some midges. With all the rain we're having, San Juan worms in brown and tan are working good in the swifter moving water and with the water running. Scuds in #18's and #20's in tan, olive and brown have been good but have to use 7x tippet to do any good, especially in sunny weather. From a boat, they're using either micro jigs or small 1/125th oz jigs under a float when the water is off both above Fall Creek and below. No wind, the bite has been REAL slight, barely moving the float so you really have to pay attention. And again, 2 lb line a must. Change colors if you're not getting bit. Vince reported NOT catching fish on olive but changed to sculpin and did good. There's not much difference in those colors... but it made a difference yesterday. If they stop hitting one color, don't keep fishing it, change. Change depths too. Below Fall Creek, Bill's been catching some REAL nice rainbows on night crawlers, water running or not. Also, I'd think you'd do well working 1/8th oz jigs along the bluff bank while the water is running. Water off, they've been catching rainbow on gulp power bait, anchoring on the shallow side and throwing to the middle from Short Creek up to Fall Creek. Anchor off the channel and you won't have boats running over you all day. More later... when I get and to fish. And I will.

If it's the guy from Lazy Valley, I've been told he's taking 3-4 limits of trout each day this week. Sure wish someone would check him!

Careful... you can catch trout on a yarn egg fly, no scent, on the bottom, still, and catch fish just like, but not as affective as, power bait. Yarn is legal... presently.

" Not looking for anything fancy, just want a clean room, nice folks and a stall for my boat." Wanda does a great job. You'll be happy with OTR.

My point exactly. And I quote, "he laughed and shook his head." I've been "baiting" you all a bit, making an argument that a coffee bean is not necessarily "natural"... they are. But, again, I point to intent. An agent would have to be a Barney Fife character to write a ticket on such a thing. I'd interject that the only way he'd write a ticket is if the angler was belligerent about the confrontation with the agent. Otherwise, I think they'd have a good laugh. We fly fishers... we take ourselves WAY too seriously, don't we!?!?!? Coffee Beans.

Good point.

Excellent point.

Natural... hummm... I'd think hair, and fur would be "natural". Certainly not artificial. Feathers? Cork? Not in the code, not legal? That covers alot of territory. Sure you want to go there? And a bean isn't "bait". Again- going to intention. I am fly fishing with something I'm not trying to get an advantage of because it's "natural". It's the same size and shape of a bug and it floats. It has a "natural" crack where the hook goes. It's shell is round, exactly like a beetle. It's not "fly tying material" covered under the code? What is? I can name dozens of items in an arts and crafts shop that aren't considered "fly tying material" that could be used to tie flies and they'd be ok with MDC. Comparing corn and marshmallows to a coffee bean isn't comparing apples to apples. Find something else that would be a closer comparison and I might relent. Shaffer... where are you anyhow!?! Defend you fly!!
