On the Road Again-


As the great Willie Nelson sings, "On the Road Again", Floatfisher has planned another adventure 
to see more water this year. Although we will not be adding a new river to our growing list, 
we will be visiting our favorite river,  the South Fork of the Snake. I am super geeked at the
 opportunity to spend the day celebrating my wife's 25th Birthday on the river catching some 
fine Cuttthrout trout.  In addition, I will have the opportunity to celebrate my 46th Birthday
 the next day and spend the day with my cousin, Kane. We have not had the opportunity to 
spend time flyfishing yet and I look forward to the day. 

Watch out South Fork, here we come. Although there are other rivers to come before, rainbow
 and brownfish to catch in between.

Weekend Accident-



Well, I have not broke a rod in some time, but my luck ran out this weekend, as were fishing 
double dry's on a perfect stretch of water. Not sure what has happened over the course of time
but went to set the hook and boom, snapped at top of the second ferrell. Although it mean't not 
fishing the final mile of the float, we had a million dollar day to that point.

Will send it back to Winston for repair and have to look for new one? Again, damn the luck.
Just when you think you have everything, something like this brings you down to earth. You never know! What to look for?

Great to be back on the home water after a very long lay off. The water started off at over 2000 cfs. and ended the beautiful weekend at around 1600 cfs. You have got to love falling and clean water. All the elements that can make up EPIC fishing conditions, and it did. 


Had the opportunity to fish C. Craven Double Gonga with many successes to the net and amazing chases and swipes. Very cool to see. Large PMX's and Amy's Ants worked consistently till midmorning and then throwing double dries. 


Water, fishing and weather so nice had to do morning and evening floats to settle the fishing fever. Can't wait as more water opens.
