I decided to remove the pictures, it just isn't worth the hassle. I do have one question though, If you have to receive attachments for work, that makes it tax deductible and worth the effort of obtaining better internet access. Could it be that I, who lives 95 miles from the nearest grocery store have access to more amenities than you?
Hi,
I decided yesterday to make a trip down in the canyon to go fishing. I had been wanting to do that for a long time, but weather (wind) and other commitments kept getting in the way. The weather while hot (100) finally calmed down a bit and looked favorable, so I packed everything that I thought I would need into the plane for an over night trip. I was sure that the wind would be good in the mornings with the wind coming up in the evening as usual, so my plan was to stay overnight and come back the next morning.
The wind was calm and the canyon was deserted. I saw no one at all any where in the canyon. I landed at an old cabin with a dirt floor and set up camp. Then I went to the river to do a bit of fishing. I caught both Bass and Channel Cats on a little Panther Martin lure. One of the Bass was only about 6 inches long and he had managed to get the lure so far down his throat that I couldn't release him so I tossed him on the bank to use for "cut bait".
I had gotten snagged on something out in the River and did not want to lose my lure so I stripped down and waded out to retrieve it. The water was really nice and I managed to get the lure back without going in over my head. It seemed like a good idea, so I put every thing on the bank and went swimming for a while. A deer came down to the river to drink as I was working my way up river. The current was only about 3 miles per hour and very comfortable. The river is mostly fairly shallow with pools here and there. I floated the 200 yards or so that I had gone up the River, back to the spot that I left every thing. I went back to the deep pool and filleted the small Bass and tossed a chunk of it in the river with a slip bobber. I was preparing to get comfortable and discovered that the bobber had disappeared. I of course missed that one, but decided that I had better get serious. It was 12:30, hot as could be, and I couldn't keep fish off the bait. I of course missed a lot of the bites since I was using a small bait hook, but not all of them. I finally quit because I was catching so many of them.
Since I couldn't catch any more fish, I decided to go for a walk up to the fast water and refill my water bottles. I had brought a "Sweetwater" filter pump with me because I knew that I was going to need more water than I could carry. Some Crystal lite packets made the water taste good even though it was pretty warm. I had returned back to where I had been fishing and watched a Coyote prospecting the river bank trying to fish. He was pretty wet and apparently had been trying to catch some of the Carp basking near the shore.
I finally decided that the fish would spoil if I stayed over night and the wind had not come up as I had feared that it would, so I went back, broke camp, and started cleaning fish. I got every thing squared away by 7 PM and although the wind was blowing the opposite direction that I wanted to go, took off heading home. Once I got a bit of altitude the wind changed and gave me the assist that I thought it would. I had as much as a 20 MPH boost in some of the areas. I made it home in good time, and although the landing was pretty interesting due to the wind, got the plane tucked away in the hanger with no problem.

Jeez.....just post away and never mind the ones who say its to big.....it will give them incentives to upgrade so they can see what they are missing.
You'd think this was a socialist country or something....next thing you know Kolb fishing trip stories will be boohoo'd because not everyone has a river nearby with fish in it....yikes!
I'd love to see the pics regardless, and that is a wonderfull trip story....keep it coming...its inspiring and motivating to those of us still wanting to do these things in our Kolbs.

I would have liked to see the pictures, half the fun of the list is to see everyones pictures. When I get on the Kolb List, the first things I look at are the pictures and the videos. It is unreasonable for one person to expect everyone else to not use the features because he is unwilling to spend the money for broad band, or because he is unwilling to take the time to configure his email client not to download attachments. Either excuse should not be our problem, and should not limit the rest of the world.
