Made it through the bulk of your thread this AM while the little woman was on an 8ft ladder battling a "stink bug" infestation. I would have finished on time and under a six cup limit, but she insisted I go into BR and look at the cable box...Claims it hasn't work since I "fixed it the last time". I'll finish up later this afternoon. I think she's trying to light the gas logs on the fireplace. I better go see if I can help. I remember what happened the last time, her eyebrows are just starting to come in again.
But, I will finish today....!!

Finished....
Noticed the little woman was headed out the kitchen door with .410 and two old laptops. I've only heard a handful of shots and I'm certain she was carrying a basic load. So, I figured that would give me enough time to complete the marathon read.
Wasn't disappointed in the least. Yeomans work buddy. Enjoyed the gratuitous trout bum pics...
Pretty sure we're loading up the 200 and pointing the nose due west this year...If I make it out your way, I'll buy you a "cold snack" and you can finally tell where all those honey holes in MD and WV are...

Da Puc!!!
I remember reading back on post #341 something about “blasphemy” when an aluminum tub was suggested. My heart sank a little when I saw the cancer has returned to your rig. During my rebuild I couldn’t stand the thought of a repeat battle with the red devil so I went with the Aqualu, and galvanized the frame. Still the best decision I made IMHO.
Our stories follow a similar path. Originally from the Spokane area but was living in Houston the last 9 years. Rebuilding a 40 by myself, with city living sucking my soul out. Finally decided enough was enough. Money is no substitute for happiness. My girls needed to know there is more to life than the mall and concrete. Knew I needed to get back to the northwest before I lost my soul. Left a great job behind that paid many gold coins. No regrets. None. Found work in Idaho and me and the family couldn’t be happier. Should’ve done it sooner.
If you’re ever in the neighborhood of Twin Falls, let me know and we can go harass the local fishes in our 40s

I don’t know about Twin Falls but we’ll be down in Idaho Falls in a month or so. I also booked a cabin on the St. Joe at the end of June for 3 days, not really in your neck of the woods though. I’ll be cruising around in the 40 looking for fish!

Looks like I would have lost that wager on a beer, we have over 12” in the last 24 hours with more still falling! I’ll try to get some pics later.
Unfortunately my 40 is more or less parked for the season. Haven’t been able to source front doors in any sort of reasonable condition to restore, so she’s topless. The ones I took off don’t hold a magnet until above the handle and they’re about 90lbs a piece. Pretty sure the PO used cement and rebar as a filler so they’re a complete lost cause short of scavenging the hardware.

If you haven’t fished The Joe yet, you’re in for a real treat! Used to wander down there when I lived in Spokane. Definitely going to be spending time up there this year.

@samatulich ever fished the St. Joe around the end of June?
I wish we’d get some.
We’ve gotten about 2’ since Christmas here in the Magic Valley. I flew over the Sawtooths and Frank Church the other day and they have some of the best Dec/Jan snowpack I’ve seen in years. Hopefully that bodes well for a good water year on the Joe and Salmon.

Soon!
The Lake is open, we are in January, as soon as the wind hits us right ours will be measured in feet and not inches. …and probably in April.

I just noticed the SNOTEL sites in the region have had a huge bump in the last couple of weeks, most are hovering around the 100% mark for this time of the year, with exception of some of the upper Missouri River basins.
I'm sure that's changed in the last 24 hours though.

No. My trips have all taken place in the early part of September or late October. I'm sure late June will be productive. Guessing the water could be high that time of year, nymphs and leeches would be what I tied on first. The Joe is one of my favorites to fish, its a good size stream, with robust, healthy trout.
If you need some grub and a cold one up in that area, TFP's in Avery is a great spot! Good pizzas (chicken too, I think), good people, nice place.
