"Akro French Drain" I should have put this in my original post on page one. I wanted to thank "Alan" for pointing me in the right direction and finally helping to I.D. this marble and it's origin, thus another link in Akro marble history was revealed.

Killer Mibs Ron !!

"Happy Akro Friday" The big "A" little "A" is the earliest known mark of the "Akro Agate Company" and is very rarely seen. I had some with this mark in the past but haven't seen it in quite a while, something I've been looking for as of late.

A beautiful upriver Steelhead I took drift fishing on the Deschutes River in September 06, fish use the cool glacier fed Deschutes a resting area and to oxygenate their deoxygenated blood before continuing their run up the mainstem Columbia. This one only about 6 or 8 lbs. but a good pic. the average was 12 lbs. to 25. Some of the best Steelhead fishing in the world is to be had in this river. Closed now from June until Sept. 15, (now designated a thermal refuge glacier fed river) to let the main bulk of the big Steelhead going to the Clearwater River in Idaho pass by, the Idaho fish run from 15lbs. to 25lbs. or bigger. 8 pound line and a #6 hook make for a challenging fight. Desert all around we were done every day by 11:00 because of the hot sun, the fish quit biting for the most part then too. Looking at the angle of the shadows I figure this was about quitting time. A view from the motel room window of the Columbia running through the desert at biggs junction A shot I ran up & took of the Deschutes running trough the desert from the highway 84 bridge crossing, you can see my friend Craig in the lower left corner fishing off the island at the mouth. In the background you the mountains have been scorched black from a recent fire, a fast mover, nothing to burn but sage and wild grass, all of which are extremely dry at this time of year.

Some more Heaton

Thank you Ric !!
