Ushering Out March

The end of March brought cold wind but cloudy blue sky’s, the fish 

would be sparadically eating streamers and nymphs down the river. 

Although not fast and furious, always a nice day on the ditch with Mary.

Ready for Spring

Ready to get the sled out of the garage for a little big river and stillwater fishing, both the types of water are opening up now and spring fishing is starting to heat up. So ready to replace the front brace and seat with the casting platform, New toy....

Dreaming of Warm and Skinny Water

Although today is a relatively nice day in comparison, I always dream of chasing fish in skinny water.

There is something about watching your fish feed face down in meer inches of water that get your heart pumping. At times the excitement comes when fishing these narrow channels, often smaller than most trout streams and rivers getting the brute red bulls to tear off and create a mess.

Boo Yeah.....

Safety First

With the "bomb cyclone" interrupting this weeks activities and this weekends fishing.  We had on shopping activity that need attention, new PFD's, throw ropes for the drift boat and new first aid kits for both boats. Safety always has to be first when out on the water. This will be a big year of high water in most all states, you not only need to be prepared for yourself, but many times others around you are not.

Be safe out there this year.

Float Season is Here

All prepped, fresh coats of 303, and ready for the sprin

Floating season. With the line up of pacific storms, it appears

We are in for even more snow pack, and more terrific water for

The summer. 

Looking forward to a wonderful summer of fishing..

Yippee

Friday Fly Tying with Greg

Time to get the last few flies in the box before the season gets started in earnest. Although

winter is still around, water is looking really good, and the reports are good from all around.

Time to get the boat and gear ready.

In today's Friday fly tying theater, Greg ties up a Greg Blessing pattern. The Purple Haze 

soft hackle. I saw Greg tie this a few months ago at a tying demo, and it is a gem. Since them I have a 

row of them in my box. 

Check them out, twist a few up.
