Hey AW. I haven't been perchin' since last spring. Barely even been fishing lately. Fires are bad up this way too. We're about 40 miles from them and we have lots of ash and smell. Hard on the eyes and throat. On a more serious note, Bajabum from Yakfishing.com lost his house in one of the fires. He's in West VA so they couldn't even get anything out of the house. Sounds like they're whole block went up. An old freind of mine has a place in Crestline. They were evacuated last night. They probably don't have a home now. Sad stuff.
