The Crash

Looks like another trip to add to list of "bucket list" trips. I have received emails
from Black Earth Angling, but never realized the waters they have at their disposal.
Smallmouth certainly look like a kick in shorts.

RIP

Today the light shines brightly as we lay to rest a husband, father, grandfather 

and great friend to many. Kurt von Tillow leaves us a hero shielding his family and friends from

Las Vegas violence that took so many. Lay watch and guard the rest of us.

RIP Kurt von Tillow

Exploring

I always feel fortunate that Mary and I get a chance to travel around and fish new 

and different water, I feel it keep things fresh and fun. I also find it rewarding to take 

friends with us to show them different spots we enjoy, the smiles, wonderment and awe

they usually have wondering WHY they have not fished this water or float this water 

before often amazes them.

Often times we all get stuck in our ruts, we only fish the same ole water, same ole river, because it

it ease, because we catch fish. Well step out of your comfort zone and try something different,

just maybe you will find something you like.

Get outside.... Explore....

Cycled out on the Big C

Fall is one special time to be on the river, although it was off color, and the sun was straight up beautiful. It made for a stunning day of highlighting the beautiful golden and red hues of the aspens and cottonwoods on the lower Colorado River.  the shadows of the trees and colors cast on river were 

short of stunning, noting we did not see another boat or fisherman on or float. 

Sunny conditions made it tough for the streamer pull, but did manage to land the cycle of brown, rainbow and cut bow, and all fish attached the Skiddish Smolt pattern. Also lobbed a pat's rubber and a frenchie through some solid runs with real nice results.

Overall great day ....
