Finally, the winds are down and the rivers are dropping.
I blasted away for a couple hours to my favorite run on the Sky. The hole above has disappeared with the floods but the gut of my "fave" is even better now. The color of the water was good ol' steelhead green, my double speys were in good working order, and I just knew my fly was swinging tantilizingly in front of fresh fish – if I were a steelhead, I would've eaten it.
After working the run oh so thoroughly with little half-steps, I bushwhacked my way back through the newly blown-down trees to my car and drove to the taco wagon I saw while driving in. It's called El Rey and is parked in the lot near the espresso stand across from the Coast to Coast hardware and Bad Bob's Futons on Main St. near the reformatory in Monroe.
The Adobada tacos for a buck apiece are to die for.
That makes three great taco wagons near where I fish. One in Ellensburg on the way home from the Yak. Another in Burlington on the way home from Deception Pass/North Whidbey. And now the Sky.
I'm a happy guy, life is good.
