Spring walkabout

[Cuervo Jones]

There's plenty of fishing reports with dead fish, live fish, stringers of fish, and guys or girls holding fish. Now here's mine. The result of the past couple of months spent largely away from my beloved bays and marshes.














Alright. Alright. Here's a fish too.

Now I can settle into my usual routine of chasing reds and speckled troots and toothy bath mats in the unnamed bays and marshes of Tejas. Werd.

What an adventurous life you live Mr. Cuervo! Beautiful pics!

Nice nature photos, Cuervo. Where the Hell were you? Please share so us "retired" TKFers can start booking our flights.

I envy the retired ranks! I've got a few centuries left before I can even contemplate that. This was Utah (Wasatch Range) and Alaska (Kenai area). My work as an international man of misery takes me there every so often, so I sneak a rod and some gear on every excursion.

Love fishing the Kenai for trout

Nice, but you have something like white smudges on your lens. And that cow looks funny.

Seriously, enjoyed your checking in with stuff I don't see and only try to imagine.

Thanks for the update Cuervo. I was about to start asking where you've been, but I suspect it might be a little difficult to find anyone willing or able to blow the International Man of Fishing Mystery's cover or whereabouts.

The moose looks lost - it should look up.

Looking forward to your marsh stories soon, we hope.

I'm glad to be back! Imagine my shock and awe when a buddy of mine in Alaska casually mentioned that he was jigging in "shallow water" for halibut...only 640'. Totally different world. Saw LOTS of kayaks on the tops of boats though! And dig this wacky contraption:

As the saying goes tough: "East or west, home is best!"

Nice! Are those flies you showed mouse imitations or something else?

I like those Alaska Summer Ales and Alaskan Ambers.

[Cuervo Jones]

Those flies are flesh flies. Designed to imitate the decomposing, tattered flesh of dead salmon stuck in the river from the year before. Gross yet cool. Even the Walmart in Anchorage sells flies. Crazy I tells ya!

One of my childhood friends from 40 years ago recently transferred from Houston up to Anchorage and posted a FB pic of him and his brood's halibut trip. My god - our doormat flounder look like mosquito's compared to those halibut. They're monstrous. Whats a person do with 4 or 5 of those things?

[Tombo]

We need to get out of the house just to see what's out there. Its been about 7 years since wife and I were in Alaska. Found something new every time.
All we have in our way is ourselves keeping us from traveling.

Tombo, get thee onto a plane post haste! And yeah, those halibut are ridiculous! Like Godzilla flounder. Here's some more inspiration.
