I grew up back east in Michigan and Kentucky and when I was a boy, I read all of my Dad’s Outdoor Life and Field and Stream magazines like most all other kids who have an interest in the outdoors did.

Trip of a Lifetime—4 years ago–and procrastinating journal entries..
Wow…so I keep a journal of all of our fishing adventures (or misadventures at times)… four years ago I went to the Henry’s Fork for a “ladies trip” and life got so busy afterwards, that I never got a chance to “pen it out”.

High water and solitude on Kelly Creek
A few weeks ago we decided to take the camper out for a “test drive” so to speak, up on the NF of the Clearwater. We knew the water would be really high still, but thought, what the hell—I can honestly say we will probably never again have the entire Kelly Creek to ourselves!
