I just uploaded this video: Reel Scream 2, The Movie. This was my first DVD. It is retro, over a decade old. It is funny with lots of Steelhead action. This is the whole movie. I just had a trailer posted before.

This was my first DVD for Grabflies. Grabflies, and I are both retired now. So, I thought I would share the full-length video. It is retro, over a decade old...

Please voice your opposition to a proposed WDFW policy that will reduce recreational fishing opportunity on the Columbia River in exchange for increased mainstem gill netting.

Here is the email that I wrote:
-----
Columbia River Fishery Policy Review (Public Review Draft of Policy C-3620 Revisions) – I am opposed to all gill and tangle netting on the Columbia River.

Gill Netting does not advance the conservation and recovery of wild salmon and steelhead on the Columbia River. I won’t to know why this old policy of allowing or advocating for gill netting on the Columbia River continues to be raised when science clearly shows that gillnets and tangle gillnets pose a serious risk to wild upriver spring Chinook and by-catch species like steelhead?

Recreational fishing with the use of barbless hooks allows for the release of wild fish on the Columbia River, and brings in more revenue to Washington and Oregon States than a kill fishery like gill and tangle nets.

One Early Fall Morning – after an hour long battle, where this Upriver bright hatchery Salmon took me down a rapids, and I could only follow wading down in the rapids, no bank. I landed this beast breaking my rod when I tailed this beautiful Salmon. Being almost as tired as the Salmon, I could barely lift her. She was so thick and heavy. I ate this fish in many barbecues. Thank You MS. Salmon, and this beautiful morning. I hope to see more like this.
