I've stopped updating this particular site in favor mostly of blogspot
and facebook. Head over those sites for recent blog entries, which mostly have to do with fly-fishing in western Washington.

Remote Control Fly Fishing Adventure

This story is fiction. Remote control fly fishing is illegal and thus, I would never do such a thing. However, it is fun to think about, so here is a remote control fly fishing fantasy.

Oregon / Idaho Trip Report

From September 23rd to the 27th, I accompanied Jim Speaker on a fishing trip that he'd been planning for some time. In general I can say that the fishing varied from merely great to fantastic. In five days I fished Beda Lake (WA), The Owyhee River (OR), Silver Creek (ID), Big Wood River (ID) and East Lake (OR). That's a different location every day and in most of those cases each destination was hundreds of miles from the previous. I put 1800 miles on my truck and caught rainbows, browns and even a kokanee in a desert lake, a muddy tail water, a fabled spring creek, a mountain stream and a volcanic crater lake.

My First Steelhead (tm)

A few pictures of my first steelhead. I caught him on a pink jig before work at Plum's Landing on the Snoqualmie River. Best guess is that he is a summer run fish who has been waiting around until now to spawn. Good thing I let him go.


Check out my Uncle's Book

Disease, disaster, and disability plagued the Stuart Family during the period they ruled England, 1603 to 1714. Dementia in James I, the beheading of Charles I, acute mercury poisoning in Charles II, a nosebleed in James II, acute hemorraghic smallpox in Mary II and lupus erythematosus in Queen Anne took them "off the throne", one by one.

My uncle Fred is a retired Doctor and is pioneering a new breed of Medical Historians.

Why Amy?
A valentine to my wife Amy, who I've loved for 11 years this summer. She is, of course, the best thing that ever happened to me and still the shining sun that brings warmth to the cold, drizzly days in Seattle...

Casey Allen Holmes

was born to us on August 2nd, 2002. He weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and is very precious lil boy. A video and some pictures...


Today we had another ultrasound. Amy is almost 34 weeks along now. According to the technicians, our baby girl measures 35.5 weeks and weighs 5 lbs 6 oz.

She also has a healthy scrotum.


Amy and I are expecting a baby girl in August of 02. A few weeks ago we had the 5 month ultrasound. I've had the 70 seconds of ultrasound video converted from VHS to DivX and Windows Media format.

And me?

Finally some choice MP3s served up by a bash script to make the page pretty.
