With nothing of consequence going on around here thought i would share with you some of the events and favorite pics from the past year. Hope everyone has a great Holiday season and Happy New Years from Dan and Pete.

We would be remiss if we didn't remember the new state record steelhead pulled from the big lake this summer.

Blooper pic from an outing with my wife this fall. Fetch..

One of the fish i managed to catch this year that left a lasting impression from the fight it gave.

I loved the reaction of this little girl when i tried to get her to kiss her first steelhead before releasing it but she was having none of it.

These next couple of pics are from a ccokout we had when all the rivers were blown but guys wanted to spend a day on the water anyway. Spam in a can was the low point of our stream side feast.

Chicken and sausage chili with campfire cornbread was the highlight.

Got a chance to get into some early chromers with my oldest brother which is always a treat.

Lastly my niece Abby with a healthy brown from the yellowstone river this summer. It was here first western trout trip and she proved once again that sometimes it takes a womens touch.

We have heard some rumblings here at the shop of open water on the Grand and Chagrin with anglers who are braving the elements having good success. The latest report came from the Grand today with two anglers catching a dozen fresh fish on eggs. We cannot confirm or deny any of these reports but after you keep hearing things you begin to become interested, we will be doing some investigating over the holidays.
