I have had some great travels since my last entry. Some trout fishing with friends, a trip up north with Laura and the first 10 days of Pre-spawn. Lots of rain in the begining but we still managed some great fish.

Crane Flies

Made the treck to southwest Wisconsin the other day with Laura and met up with Steve from MayFly lodge.  It was a great day of fishing with Crane flies hatching and Laura throughing some great casts. 

Call me nutz!!

I think that this might be one of the best models I have ever made. Do  you suppose they make minny jet motors?

Dry fly fishing is going off the hook

Laura got to fish her first good dry fly hatch yesterday. I am pretty sure the women flyfishing population has a new lifer. 

D Day

Opener is upon us. Some have been tucked away for the past few months into the corners our loved ones allow us to have, tying flies and filling up our boxes. Preparing for that first bit of sunlight to peak over the tops of the coulee region and on to the water that has haunted our thoughts and imaginations all winter. The waters have been rejuvenated with these weird Leap Day rains and our quarry has been left to rest for the past five cold, untouchable months.  Good luck to all my friends and as you lean over your bumper Saturday morning to tie your boots grunting from slightly hungover stomach you have compressed don't forget to pinch your barbs and take lots of pictures. 

  Good Luck everyone

Alittle video fun
