Thursday, October 4, 2012. Boats, autumn, rivermen. All that remains of The Golden Star, a former steamer that was beached in 1955 at Springston. SPRINGSTON- If you motor up the Coeur d’Alene River from the lake it is best, if you’re a novice, to do it early in the summer before the water warms and weeds climb up, curl and wave like maiden hair from the depths, constricting the channel and choking the prop. A couple decades ago, even as late as the late 90s the men who skippered the steamers, working the...

Sunday, January 25, 2015. Right out of the box. I think we remember knives. We grew up with them as an idea, aware of their danger and value as tools. Small folders with bone handles or wood, vinyl, the color of blood or mahogany, shining bolsters with polished pins. A kid two years my senior ran with a knife and fell. The blind eye was gray and didn't move much. I learned not to do that. The two men let me alone and left the bar and the man with the limp sat at the end by the bell and the bartender came...

Monday, September 6, 2010. The average 12-inch cutthroat at the headwaters of the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River in early September. CLARK FORK — We crossed the river bridge and then headed west before climbing out of the frogwater lowlands at Derr Island. The man had said headwaters. Meadows, he said, with trout under the banks like grass pike. Eighteen inches he said, and the phrase, "all day long" was used along with a single word:. Hoppers," he said. The understory opened to mossy sponges and ...

Friday, October 22, 2010. Leaves falling, river dreaming (Get well, old fisherman). C Rodney Wolfe in his kitchen with one of his creations. COEUR D'ALENE — I was going to visit my old friend Rodney Wolfe at Kootenai Medical Center, but they said no. They said critical and that’s all we can tell you. What newspaper do you work for? I don’t, lady. I’m a pal, I said. Rodney taught me more than I wanted to know about fly fishing and the history of casting dry flies on the St. Joe River. I was standing there...

Wednesday, July 11, 2012. That road will take you anywhere. A native Coeur d'Alene mountain cutt from "No-Name Creek" (scoff)/Ralph Skookum. FERNAN-We found a secret fishing spot. It was over the mountains and down some narrow roads where meeting another vehicle heading the other way could only spell disaster. The new policy says it's better to go bust than bump knots. this morning we took advantage of this policy and more:. Those are the three commandments of backwoods, westslope cutthroat trout fishing...

skookum photography: Bighorns, tundra and the T100
http://skookumfoto.blogspot.com/2014/12/bighorns-highline-and-t100.html
Sunday, December 14, 2014. Bighorns, tundra and the T100. I once followed a T100 all the way across the state of Montana. The pickup was white with straw stuck to the manure that smeared a fender. When it gained speed east out of Bozeman like a colt that knows its fence line, swirls of hay and grain husks lifted from its bed. A woman was behind the wheel. She wore a fleece collared denim jacket. My plates said Idaho. We rode together that way in shotgun fashion, giving way and gaining ground, hearing our...

skookum photography: Tracking
http://skookumfoto.blogspot.com/2011/11/tracking.html
Friday, November 18, 2011. Tracking, 500 yards in 5 hours. NORTH IDAHO—So there it was. Plain as night’s fast approach. As the dearth of snow. Plain as distance – as in too far, or time’s outpacing what was once considered sort of a gift, a solid streak of good luck, or the ability to pencil wind, yardage and bullet drop into a Sudoku block. The buck was broad and two swales out. It gets them in the open shedding their boardroom ties and donning cackles like drunken pirates. Here was the memory of a warm...
