True that. And today was as equally productively non-productive. You can be sure that I have spend time in introspection, self doubt and loathing.😀

I have made some gear adjustments and tomorrow we'll have another crack at them.

Sounds like you're having the type of year I had last year. Still have scabs on my forehead from beating it against the wall.

No coho for me today ... got into a couple Springs. Water is lower than low..

Saw a brown bear just east of Osborne Rd. Totally did a double take when I saw it...wife spotted it first. Only ever seen blacks up there and even then not very often.

Really surprised to see it in that area .... is that a normal occurrence or is it completely out of the norm.

A homeowner there came out too  ... said they have seen in the past.

Brown Bear, or Cinnamon blacky? Not uncommon to see Cinnamon's, but would be very rare to see a Brown.

Saw a black bear this morning at Centennial Channel, along with a few thousand pinks (should have been WAY more).

I've been watching the radar projections on my Weather Network app and it is very frustrating - rain is forecast immediately North and South of the Chilliwack river valley, but very little is supposed to hit it.  The same thing happened last weekend.

Rained hard today and very windy.

common find in many places. As long as lures are sold with them it'll continue to be common.
