Ouch!! Never had a leak in the waders; I did however reach a little too far into the water to scoop a shocked fish.  Definitely a wake up.  Hopefully your leak was below the thigh  :o

as promised in a previous reply some steely porn from last season (none from this year yet since I was 0for5 on my summer run hook ups):

Vedder



Bulkley



Those are 2/4 of the pics I was hoping to post as far as steelhead pics go, I will add Chehalis and Thompson pics from last year once I get the pics scanned

Keep the steely thread alive! More pics to come from my rememberance Thompson trip as well (hopefully)!

Edit: cool pic dano!

OK I have a fun idea, although it may be very difficult to pull off............

How about a 2006 steelhead porn derby

Rules:

First new porn of the year wins
Starts Dec 1
Must be winter run

Everyone who wants to play chips in 5 bucks and the first to post a fish from this year wins the pot, to be donated in their name to a fishy cause!

I have the idea but could use some help with the logistics IE how to keep it honest etc

If others like the idea and the mods say it is OK to use this forum as a base I would be in....... I got five on it!

Another possibility would be to post a contest thread to run from Dec 1 to Apr 30, anyone who wants to play would chip in 5 bones and there would be a vote in May to decide the winner of the nicest pic with the best composition and the prettiest fish. Not necesssarily the biggest fish but the best overall picture. Once again proceeds to charity!

Sounds like a good idea, I like the best picture idea because it is possible for someone to post the first picture that is not even from this year. I'd be willing to throw in 5 bucks to enter. It will be my first steelhead season, but hey you always got a chance ;)

Nice pics Pat !!!!

So are we going to set up a lil competition ??  best pic ???

another idea would be to set up another mini derby like we had for Springs a while back.. proceeds could be donated once again !!
we can make it a couple of weeks after the big Boxing day derby. and this way all the people that are unable to make it to the Boxing day derby will hopefully be able to make it to this one

so whatch think ??? anyone game??

I'd be in on the photo competition  ;D

Some incentive, from season's past...





One of the 'fringe benefits' of coastal fishing. Nope, not a steelhead, but those sea run cutties are beautiful in their own way...



White Water Battle!



Airbourne!







Weapon Of Choice




As much as I love the salt pursuit, I honestly look forward to the impending winter run forays even more! Won't be long now, and Man, am I EVER itching to spin the pin!!

Hope to grab a few more pix to show through this season!

Cheers,
Nog
