Ummm...no fish. That's another story. Took my Lab with and he decided right away that he'd rather go swimmin' and chase sticks than sit quietly and enjoy the day. First cast of the morning and he bales out of the boat and into the upper Skykomish river. Probably his last fishin' trip in the drift boat. He was a handful to say the least.. Made fishing just a little difficult the whole day.

Here comes trouble...
-
I recognize that stretch of river. It is up by C-Post.....there is a watering hole around a bend that I swear every blacktail in the area comes down to for a drink. See any deer while out throwing sticks? Nice looking dog by the way.

This is the Skykomish river. I did notice lots of deer tracks on the bank in one spot where where we stopped to let the dog run a little..

Wow... :stirthepot: huh?
Looks like a good trip, even without the catch. Good looking grub too! :tup:
-
Fine looking dog.
-
Yep......just messing with him. Looks like a great trip.

Fine looking dog.
He has the "Daddy yelled at me" look...lol

:chuckle: :chuckle:
Yeah he was in trouble most of the day!!!
-
He saw you fishing and he wanted to give it a shot. Next time just tie about 20 feet of fishing line to his tail with a lure at the end :tup: :chuckle: I don't see anywhere in the regs that a dog has to have a fishing licsense
-
You should take him again it looks like he had a great time.
-
Just put a short leash on him and tie him off to the middle of the boat so he can't jump or move around much while your fishing, then let him off for some free time too.
Kind of like you'd tie off a dog in a truck bed, not enough leash to bail over the side or hang himself on. I'd start off with a really short leash until he got the hang of it, he'll give you a pretty dejected look but ignore him.
He'll quickly learn to be still when he needs to be still and when you pull to shore he'll enjoy the heck out of that - just like riding in a pickup

:yeah: ...but I like my idea better :chuckle: But KFhunter is totally right about him being excited when you take a brake on shore. It is like a treat for being good.
