Photo of the Day- "Smith River Camping"

Today marks the opening for applying for Permits on the Smith River, always a beatiful trip and

amazing scenery. Will be be a lucky "draw" this year. With almost 5000 applicants last year, and

only 985 permits, one has to be lucky, BUT wait , there is the Super Smith Lottery. We will win that

special launch date?

If lucky enough, this would be our 8th trip on the river, always special, always fun.

Chartreuse K-Flash Wire Midge- Fly Pattern

Happy New Year to all this beautiful day. Hope all celebrated safe and enjoyed the night with someone special. WE spent the night eating crab legs, scotch and rockin country music, Ethyl. May 2012 prove to be more fruitful fishing and financially for all! Next week also brings the start of the annual flyfishing shows. Although, not much changes from year to year at them, and the refuse to change any of the hourly programs. Oh well, I continue to just make sure there is nothing I don't miss! Once in a while I do find a deal or two.

Anyways, Happy New Year

Floatfisher Turns 1 Yr Old W/ focalFISH- Check it out!

Well hard to believe I have been hacking away at this "blogging" thing for over a 

year, as of tomorrow. It has come along way from it humble beginnings and needless to

to say, it has cost a few dollars to up-grade the camera gear to stay up with the Jone's of the 

blogging world. Well enough blabbering, we will have the celebratory RV Cupcake and Scotch 

in true Floatfisher style to celebrate, and save the tipping for this weekend.

To top off my one year anniversary, I was lucky enough to be featured on FOCALFISH with 

a couple of my photo's with a nice write up from Mark and the group. Now my little pea brain

will really swell up.

Check it out and bookmark this site at WWW.FOCALFISH.COM , a site that should be checked out 

every couple of days. They feature some truly great photographers.
