More from Costa Rica

More pics from my Costa Rica trip. Enjoy!

The runway in Quepos where my flight from San Jose landed.

Ribs, plantain and yucca at Coki's. Delish. It used to have a dirt floor, leaf roof, and the meat was cooked on a bed spring over a fire pit. You'll need to ask a local how to get there, though.

Some kind of crazy spider. I think it's called a spiny orb-weaver.

About ready to zip down the line....

Zip-line canopy tour.

Rio Canas, two days before we fished it. Good shape.

There are bugs in Costa Rican rivers.

Leaf-cutter ants.

Ever hear of a Daihatsu BeGo? The roof leaked profusely when it rained.

One of the many stray dogs around Quepos.

Great kiskadee. Far from the prettiest bird in Costa Rica, but not bad.

Groove-billed ani?

The best sangria in Costa Rica can be had at Ronny's.

The view from Ronny's. It's apparently a great place to go to catch a sunset, but it was cloudy both times I ate there. Odd for the dry season.

One of the Costa Rican-brewed beers. My favorite.

Year in Pictures

The year 2010 offered plenty of fishing. Below is a slice of the pie, in pictures.

January: Yankee Jim Canyon on the Yellowstone River.

February: Montana steelhead.

March: A windy night on the lower Madison. Fishing was good though (for almost everyone).

April: Skwalas were everywhere this spring. This one is ready to spread her seed.

 May: As the ice peels back on Hebgen Lake, the trout get hungry. Clay is pulling in another slab.

June: Trout Lake, Yellowstone National Park. No fishing in the inlet.

July: Big stoneflies in Yankee Jim result in many cutts brought to hand.

August: Accentrella hatch on the Clark Fork. There was also some crazy flying-ant hatch that day that got the trout excited.

 September: Charting lower Sixteenmile Creek. Beautiful area, but few and small fish.

October: Streamer day on the East. They still wanted the buggy Hare's Ear, though.

November: Upper Madison rainbow. The black Girdle Bug is all you'd ever need up there.

December: Darlington Ditch's S-curves. The section on which you won't get harassed.

Here's to 2011!
