Not much posting, but lots of fishing.

You wouldn't know it by reading the blog, but I have been fishing.  I'm trying to get it out of my system before the new baby arrives. Went to the Sandy a handful of times.  Tried a few new-to-me spots around the hatchery, Dodge Park, and I also managed to hit Oxbow again.  All of my trips were before the rain and snow arrives.  The river was pretty low and clear.  That will be my excuse for only walking away with one good tug.

Also been to the Washougal a bunch.  This has turned into my home water.  I slip away for an hour here and an hour there.  Awesome to be so close.  Unfortunately, like the Sandy, it has been low and clear.  Fish have lock jaw and I haven't landed anything.

The good news is that the recent rains and now snow(!!) will change the water levels for the better.  The bad news is that I won't be fishing again for a while.  The baby is due to come this week and I'll be on diaper patrol.

By the way, I found my camera buried in a box.  I promise to take it out next time on the water and have something for you to look at next time.
