An unusual sight when you approach the turn to the ramp at Wells Dam was this airplane sitting by the side of the road. I hear it went down on the road here and no one was injured.

It was a long reach but this anglers got the net under a nice king. The fish weighed about 22 pounds and made the day for these guys from Entiat.

It isn't big, but it's a fish. I am holding up a small king caught on the upper Columbia on a recent trip with my wife Eileen. Chinook fishing is still very good at Wells Dam and the Brewster Pool.

Zack Robinson, of Leavenworth, hadn't been fly fishing for a while, but it didn't take him long to get back into the swing of things. This is one of many rainbow he caught, some with flies he tied himself.

While scouting for sockeye spawning activity on the White River, Rollie Schmitten, his wife Barb and I came across a lot of bear tracks. Bears are out and about in our area, so be aware.

While trolling for kings on the Columbia River above the Brewster Pool we had osprey and this golden eagle keeping an eye on us. Catching was slow that day, but fishing was great.

On a recent drive through the Yakima River Canyon my wife and I came across a whole herd of bighorn sheep. The river is in great shape and I can't wait to get on it with my fly rod.

Monica Beich really enjoyed the sockeye fishing on Lake Wenatchee. She caught these and one more for her limit fishing with Rollie Schmitten.
