Spring Break so Far

For spring break so far I have had a great break. On friday evening, I hung out with some of my friends from OSU. On saturday I took the day to rest and recover from finals week. I ran some errands and got caught up on everything that I put off the last two weeks.
On sunday My friends Dan and Haley and I all went skiing at Mt Hood Meadows. The roads were bad getting there but that was because there was two feet for fresh powder. We spent all day tracking up some amazingly deep and uncharacteristicly light powder for this time of year in Oregon. The weather was nice too. THe area that we like to ski is well protected from bad weather unlike the rest of the mountain. We had some sun to go along with the great snow.
On monday My friends Eric and I went fishing on the Nestucca river with our friend Matt in Matt's drift boat. We had an amazing day hooking 11 steelhead and landing 6 of them. I personally put on a clinic hooking six end landing 4. I should have landed on more but eric failed to net it. Of the fish that we caught 3 of them were big fish in the 15-17 lb range. We kept one hatchery hen so Matt could eat it and keep the eggs and cure them for salmon bait. We also caught and released two sea run cuthroats. This was my first sea run I have ever caught. The weather was beautiful and we did not get rained on. This was the best day that I have ever had steelhead fishing by a large margin.
On Tuesday, Eric, Ben and I went fishing on the Wilson River. We did not get any fish and it rained hard on us. I spent a lot of time rerigging my setup after loosing it trees. We did find a few new holes that look promising as new places to fish. In the afternoon I had coffee with a friend and got my bike tuned up and ready for warmer weather.
Today I am resting up after going hard for three days. I had an offer to go skiing today but I decided the snow and weather was not going to be great.
The rest of the week will be filled with attending the Oregon Dental Convention.
