Rachael and I took the girls to Seattle for Thanksgiving to visit family and had a great trip. It was a quick trip filled with lots of good family time...not quite enough time to wet a line, though. The region is well known for its salmon and steelhead fishing, as well as a place to target sea-run cutthroat trout. The weather was quite wet, with rain and snow; I'll bet the steelheading on the Olympic Peninsula is prime right now. We arrived home last night to find extreme winter conditions here. There is a good snowpack in the valley already, and an unusually deep snowpack in the mountains for this time of year. It's still snowing today with more forecast for the week. The La Nina weather pattern we are currently in should give us a wet winter. Skiing should be great and our water content next year promises to be healthy. The Jackson Hole Mountain Resort opened yesterday for the season. The entire mountain opened...top to bottom, which almost never happens this early. Not much to report on the fishing front; for now, this image tells the story around here...
