Yakima Float and Fish

Hot day on the Yakima with Pat and his lab Macy. She was more interested in the little yellow strike indicator than retrieving sticks. Unfortunately, the fish weren't quite as interested as the dog but we'll get em next time. Better than being at the office.

Dinner in our new backyard

After a long drive from San Diego, the Tanners made it to Seattle just in time for our backyard launch party. Nala the dog was there too. We also celebrated Jollyne's birthday...a bit belated. Another fun night with the in laws! Good food and even better wine.

Smith River Trip - May 2007

The much anticipated guys trip to the Smith River in Montana was a success but didn't go without a minor mishap when launching the boats in the abnormally high and fast river. The first boat went in a little fast and took on some water and subsequently our dry bags, cooler and a few other very important items popped out and started floating downstream. My first thought was that the trip was over but Ryan and Ben hopped into action and chased down all the gear. Amazing. Beautiful 4 day, 59 mile float. Not many fish to speak of enough to keep us interested. Attendees: David Rhoades, Ryan Sullivan, Ben Elliott and me. Great trip guys. Next time we'll bring the ladies!

Trophy Lake..Golf and Fish???

Great trip to Trophy Lake Golf Club with Chris and Aimee. Huge fish in the lake and beautiful golf course. Just for the record...and according to our scorecard The Dents beat up on the Hirata/Wood contingent.
