Haven't been doing much lately, at least in terms of catching.

I didn't think the AK thing would have burnt me out as much, but I guess it did.

Despite my lazy attitude of late, I managed to force myself outside over these past few weekends, doing a few things here and there.

Like catching suckers in the Cedar.

And fighting these guys off for hours while looking for some residents and cutthroat.

Even spent a morning dinking around with a few of my spey setups (and a single hand Skagit line on the rod in the foreground).

And, to my shock, found a few cutthroat dinkers on a beach that's normally devoid of fish this time of year. Let's just say it was one of those "fish while you have the chance" situations. :)

As you can see, there's really been nothing to write home about--I've found myself daydreaming about a return trip to AK and, of course, the upcoming pink salmon season.

In an effort to stem my jonesing, though, I'll once again be headed out to the beaches this holiday weekend. Let's hope the trip produces something big or plentiful enough to shake the cobwebs away...
