Mallards on turkey day

My oldest son got his first two mallards today on Poppy's pond.  There's been 30 or so birds coming in every morning so he took his gun up and spent the night at Poppy's for a crack at some.  More to come for sure.

Swinging for steel

Got these new babies tied up and ready for winter steelhead in the Willamette Valley.  Its November 1st and the first of those chrome beauties may show up at any time!!!

The first one I tried swam very well.  Excellent movement says...here fishy fishy!
Lets get it on!!!
