Flytying Season Begins........... Again

As fall and winter make their transition, so does my pilgrimage to flytying. Today, I moved the bench into the living room so weekends can be filled with football and fly tying. In addition, the lightbox was

set up in the den to capture some of the newly created ties.

The countdown to spring has begun.

Four Rivers Fishing at Night

Long after the fishing day is over in Twin Bridges, MT, one find themselves walking down the street

to visit the Blue Anchor (local establishment).  On just such an occasion, I came across this opportunity to shot the local flyshop. 

Photo of the Day- "Change Up"

Looking to change up the fly's for the good water ahead. Brilliant skies and clouds provide for a great backdrop.

Looking Back- "Floating Alone"

Cleaning up the photo files today and came across this magnificent shot of 

cliff wall at mile 29 , on the Smith River. Those who float will know that it is

right in front of the Heaven on Earth Ranch.

Nothing beats a peaceful float by yourself. 

Photo of the Day- Marabou and Flash

Photo of the Day- "Canyon Snow"

With our first measurable snow in both Salt Lake City and Denver for the year, It made me

search the Floatfisher archives for some canyon shots of beautiful snow shots. Bring on the moisture

and snow for all areas. We need to replenish our watersheds.

Let it snow, Let it snow.....

Breckenridge Sunset

Spent the weekend in Breckenridge doing a little r/r with the wife and great friends. The weather was

fantastic, and the sunsets were even more spectactular. Hard to beat these sights.

Photo of the Day- "River Keeper"

On our recent trip, we ran across the "River Keeper", keeping the peace and looking for the next meal

whether it be surf or turf. They certainly are beautiful, big winged creatures.

Photo of the Day- Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep

No matter how many times I see these sheep, I am always in awe. I just love them. We are very lucky

to be able to see them most weekends. 

Trout Unlimited Donation

It is that time of the year again, as the fishing starts to wind down, the annual Trout Unlimited fundraising season kicks off. Floatfisher has always been  a very active participant, donor and in many cases an active purchaser of many, many auction items.

 

This year, the first of several donation is a fine custom flybox by Mountian Shadow Flybox's filled with many of Floatfishers benchtied Favorite Arkansas River flies. 

We are also working a special one of kind Photo that will be auction off at the 

Colorado Cutthroat TU Auction on Tuesday November 13th, 2012.

Fall fishing season is in full swing, however, sometimes you must get out and smell the flowers and see the sights. On the recent photo outing, I thought this shot was only fitting. 

"Tying One On" - Photo of the Day

Selecting the right fly is alway crucial this time of year. Angler tying one on after busting it off, guess the photographer put to much pressure on him?
