Welcome back to Three-Word Thursday, where Fish Hack is faking it through what passes as a Fish Wrap work day after spending the morning trying to catch that first upper Rogue River spring chinook salmon of the year.

Welcome back to Haiku Monday, where Fish Hack is putting away the flip-flops for the time being and breaking out the boat boots until this little piece of February disappears from April. Damn cold.

Welcome back to Three-Word Thursday, where Fish Hack is rockin’ March Madness bets and chasin’ lobos while that great babysitting service known as the Medford School District begs out and lets the Tax Deductions run wild for two weeks.
