EDITOR’S CORNER:
Fall is in the air and the change of seasons is coming. There’s still time to get some great fishing
in! The rivers are filled with coho as the pink season ends. For those saltwater fishing the big
hooknose silvers are around, and on the Columbia it’s “go time” for upriver fall brights around
Hanford. Out here in Montana it’s snagging season (there, I said it!) for chinook salmon at Ft Peck.
Meanwhile, hiking in the high mountain and Alpine Lakes is the best way to get away and enjoy
the cool, crisp air of fall.
For me the truly difficult decision – hunt or fish? Upland bird has been open since September in
Montana, but early October pheasants open up and there are few things I enjoy more than a
“walk-about” with my dog Duke as we try to flush up some birds. Well, he does all the flushing, I
get to try to hit one of them!
Whatever your passion and outdoor focus is, have a safe and fun time out there!
