Good news about the dock. Long (too long?) time coming! See you caught one chinook. Wonder is he is one of the 2017 or 2018 plantings? There should be some larger chinook from the earlier...

good question. should have asked!

Just talked to the Boise National Forest office in Mountain Home, and they informed me that they finally got the money to repair the docks at Curlew this past July. They had to go begging to the...
