High Sierra Topix

Another angler took this pic of me on Wickiup reservoir on Tuesday and sent it to me.

Nice. Looks like a heck of a view.

Yes, the OldRanger does look better when he's in the shade and far off.

Last year he took me out to Wickiup...on the water before sunrise.
Red skies - Trolling -
Flashers, dancers, and line counters -
electric down riggers too -
Wisps of fog dancing over reflections of volcanoes past -
Fishing for Kokes.

Nice job Mike!

the view from the boat looking toward the back of the boat is even more impressive--South Sister, over 10,000 feet and, I think either the 2nd or 3rd highest peak in Oregon.

oh I just realized ever since Mark has been in the boat fishing at Wickiup has really been slow. Coincidence?

Was looking for a better picture of Mike...his good side - Out fishing with Mike - and the Other Woman

Ok here is the view to the N. FYI I kind of lust for that red Hewescraft in the pic, but neither Kathy or the "Other Woman" would stand for it.

C'mon.. I christen thee "The Other Woman II."

Not the sportsman! Not an upgrade compared to the "Other Woman" other than being shinier. At least the Pro V but also the Sea Runner, the 21 ft version if Matt were to get stationed in the NW. Actually, if I were to buy a new boat I would carefully review boats from several different builders in addition to Hewescraft--North River, Alumaweld, Woolridge, and a couple of others. Ah but the red boat sure catches the eye!

I looked at the Pro V and the bigger boats as well. Then I remembered your tow vehicle, and thought, "If Mike buys this boat, he's going to need a bigger truck!"

You got that right!
