Took forever but it sure is sweet!

Hope to have another one about this time next year with six more mugshots on it...

That's sweet. I envy you for being able to fish all those different spots.

[Hairstacker]

That is really cool, congratulations! :D

What!??? They give you an award just for fishing in California? Hmmmmm......California here I come, right back where I started from, o----pen up those............. ;-)

Great effort Shig, It had to take lots of planning and repeated cardio workouts chasing those fish, congrats to you!!

Hey Shig my cousin just called me and he got his yesterday. (He is number 131) That means I should be getting mine any day now. I think we may be the first ones to do it all out of a float tube. IGFA and the fly fishing federation both have there version and I think that we are going to try those next.
Since you and I are both done we should share spots:D

I have been doing research on that one, and we may go for it next summer. They are at like 600 people now.

Geezus Shig...no wonder your arm is falling off! Congratulations buddy!

You will notice, BTW, that the three last fish were caught ON THE SAME DAY. Woke up at 0-dark-thirty and iron butted down south and did a scramble. It was fun, though I'd like to go back and give it some quality time next time. After I get my second cert, my buddies and I are considereing going for bonus points by setting a 10"-12" minimum plus only using self-tied flies or something similar. All dries? Okay, even I have a limit. :^P

I doubt I'll be doing any double-up fish days except perhaps for the Goose and Warner next time. Hope to get a steelie this winter, and perhaps a coastal cutt as well? Gotta wait until Eagle thaws, and then a nice hike up into the Tahoe area for that resident stream morph LCT.

Fun stuff...

What I get no props and then you get #121 and I get #122 What gives? At least I still have #28. Russ still has not received his yet and left for Montana today. --J

MY FRIEND JBLACK IS THE MAN. WITHOUT HIS ASSISTANCE I WOULD STILL BE CHUCKING BAIT. LET THIS BE KNOWN TO ALL. ;^)

I got 121 'cuz I was quicker to ship. Odd that russ didn't get his though. I heard that DFG wanted some clarification on one of his fish, but it didn't sound like it was a dealbreaker. Hmm...

BTW, you got the Kern trio, McCloud, and Goose/Warner? Or did you mix in a stream cutt or coastal 'bow?

_SHig

[jblack]

All caps -wow I am flattered. :p It was fun. I am glad to see you blanked out the streams. I did the mccloud, warner, and goose one. So that means one more maybe with the variations of species and the coastal. Maybe I will get lucky and some fishing for the Paiute will open up. :fish: Call me-- maybe we can fish or tie over my break.
