What to expect: This is a pic from back in '05. You'll note that there is snow falling, and it appears to be a bit chilly out. Notice the angle the snow is falling at? That's because
the wind pushes it sideways..and yeah, the wind makes it feel even colder. View attachment 2190709

It was, roughly, -18 (in Australian).

Still wanna go fishing? View attachment 2190708

Here are three of the five different salmon species that we get in the river...top pic is a Chum (aka: Dog Salmon), the next is a Coho (aka: Silver Salmon) and the last is a King Salmon. The Coho is far and above the best eating.

Wow, id love to hook up to any of those. I once mentioned fighting a King Salmon here, but that was a salt water fish, not your kingy there. Our salty is also called Threadfin Salmon.
They are all you im guessing yes?

These are all salt water fish, but they spawn in freshwater rivers. Babies hatch in the river, and they'll grow a bit and then head out to sea for 2-4 years, then return to the river location they were spawned at.

Yes, that is me about 20 years ago...I was handsome back then..

Grew up 365 miles from the ocean. The Sockeye Salmon would make it up the rivers around the area to spawn.
My father caught a big Spring Salmon one time, just released it again as their just dog food by the time they get up that far.

Was heading back out to the Mojave Desert today for a hunt but got thwarted by white stuff. Probably a hundred year event.
Turned around and headed for Searchlight and gave it a go at a little mine I spotted from the road, a little ways out of town. Didn't find much, but nice to get out.
Cool old steel boat hull sitting out there in the desert.

Awesome.
Congrats.

Watch might need a drop of oil.

Mornin all.

Good morning

Nice photos. I once found a small steel boat, probably only big enough for 1 person, on the goldfields. I concluded, right or wrong, it was used as a water trough to hold water for panning off wash in the dry area it was in. Do you think it may have been used to hold water? How fars the nearest water to there that a boat could be used in?

That may very well be what they were using it for. The Colorado river is about 15 miles down into the canyon from there, but back then would've been a nasty rocky road the whole way.
