Ernie and Gloria

Congratulation to our good friends Ernie and Gloria Wemple as they celebrate there 50th

We have gotten to know this fine couple one the last 10 years. They exemplify true down to earth

genuine folks. I wish them the best, as this is a true milestone that many do not get to celebrate.

Congratulations Ernie and Gloria, true high school sweethearts.

Here is a little something to enjoy with your coffee as you look at the river this morning. We are 

so luck to have these great things around our great land. Get out and enjoy.

Fishing With my Good Friend Amy

Was jonesen to fish something fierce after a somewhat long layoff, and today it happened. The trend is your friend when the graph looks steady like this, it means the edges are clearing, fish are on the edges and looking up and hungry. 

In typical fashion, the alarm rang, boat and rods where ready, all that had to be done was the shuttle,

can you you say done by 7 am. BAM, on the water throwing our good friend Mr. Sculpzilla, a fish chasing on the third cast the morning would be epic.

Rowed out of the good streamer water to the even better slow dry fly water, switch rods and boom cast # 1 is a fish. Or lady friend Amy showed up to with game. It was back and forth for 8 miles, lots of fish to the boat, silly season is upon us.

However, river is very pushy, you must be very careful if floating lots of new debris and obstacles in the river. A new season always brings fun.

All this and it is not even noon. We can do an evening float.

Toys R Us

It is time for the summer fishing season to kick it in to full throttle. Figured it was time to get a few new 

toys for the toy box as it has been while. It's time to get the yacht on the water and fish, and quite jaw jackin' about it .

 I have always been a pretty loyal Smith / Action Optics fan, but after a few recent disappointments

I have decided I would give the crew at Costa Del Mar a try. With a wide variety of frames and lenses, they cover the whole gamet of fishing. Have had them out on the water a few times and really like them. Costa "Squall" Model.

 Added our 4th Hatch step child to the family this weekend, in preparation for our October steelhead trip, we will throw a spey line on this bad boy and also be used for tarpon next year. I am always thinking ahead.
