Really active rain

Because there is rain, the Intermountain West has irrigation and cheap electricity. The rain is gathereed into reservoirs and used for hydroelectric power and irrigation. AND FISHING. The fishing use is what Carl and I will be doing next week - can't wait. We put our recreation money into a really great boat, a Blazor
Bay which is perfect for fishing the big reservoirs here. We fish Lake Owyhee and Brownlee Reservoir frequently but are venturing out a little this time. We'll fish Dworshak near Orofino Idaho and maybe the Columbia near Hermiston Oregon. All these wonderful places are within ez driving distance from Boise Idaho. We'll fish for bass and crappie but I'm hoping to accidentally cartch a few trout. My husband grew up in the wrong part of the country (Ohio) to truly appreciate trout and salmon. But I like them! Outdoor recreation is what the Intermountain West is all about - I grew up here and never really understood what we have until I left. I couldn't wait to get back where I could go in any direction and in an hour be in public lands and have all the space I wanted.
