Klamath River Steelhead Fly
A long time ago, while fly fishing the Klamath River in Northern California, an old timer fisherman gave me a raggedy tied steelhead fly he called the "Chappie". I didn't know anything about it at the time, and don't even remember if I fished it, but I think I still have it kicking around with a bunch of old steelhead flies.
This afternoon I was tying up a small selection of flies for (hopefully) a trip up there in the coming weeks. I thought about the old fisherman and the Chappie so quickly wrapped one up with a slight variation.
My version of "Outdoor" Franklin's Chappie, size 6.

Not So Homeless Homeless
I had a great time recently living out of my truck for about a week in the Eastern Sierra (California). Climbing, hiking, fishing. The best part was no time restraints or set schedule. I just did what I wanted when I wanted...enjoying early morning hikes/climbs, rain showers, camping in the wild, and meals cooked out of the back of the truck.
Next trip, Central Oregon. Exploring, hiking, and the Fall Foliage.
