Coastal Camping with Grandson Charlie, Daughter Chelsea and Janina. 🏕️ Beach combing, whittling, kite flying and general tomfoolery. 😁

If you watched my tribute to William “Bill” Cooke during last steelhead season, you know he was a friend to this channel.

After the tribute was released, one of Bill’s fishing buddies, Kevin, reached out and asked if I’d like to spend a couple days fishing the Columbia with him and Bill’s lifelong friend, Henry. I knew of both of them because Bill had mentioned them over the years.

So this week, three fishermen came together through one common friend: Bill.

Thanks to Kevin’s expertise, we had a couple awesome days on the Columbia, catching some beautiful Chinook and sharing plenty of stories about Bill. We talked about how each of us met him and realized just how much we had in common.

We started the trip as three fishermen connected by Bill, and left as friends of our own. 🎣

Hopefully, this becomes a trip we get to make together for years to come. I think Bill would have liked that. 🎣

I’ve been impressed with the Compre Salmon / Steelhead rods, I’m interested to see some of these new models.

Built for your next catch

1 year ago, camped at Moraine Lake at the base of South Sister, after summiting earlier in the day, the wind got so bad, I packed up and hiked out in the middle of the night. The worst wind storm I’ve experienced while backpacking, 🏕️

South Sister Summits August 21, 2024; August 21, 2025 and I wanted so bad to do August 21, 2026. However, availability and an ankle injury didn’t allow 2026. So I had to settle for 27:29 to the summit of Mt. Pisgah. Maybe August 21, 2027 I can do it again. 😞

First 3 shots at 100 yards through the Tikka 6.5 CM with ELDX 143 grains. I’ll wait to make final corrections until I shoot it with my TBAC suppressor. However, I’m pretty happy with a sub 3/4” group.

Those are some good looking spinners! 🎣

I up my stock of these every year and every year I still end up running out of many combos.

Our own 7/8th bodies with .032 painted blades and our own translucent hoochies (not cheap crap hoochies that smell like chemicals.)

Get them ordered now if you need 1oz bombs.
