Well, it didn't really help. I miserably stomped around in the snow for an hour to catch one brown trout before packing it in due to depression and the lack of feeling in my fingers. I lost a fly box a few weeks back on the LL and I was hoping that at least the fly shop would be open so I could see if someone dropped it off. Nope, of course not. Lady luck has not been on my side recently. Sorry for the poor pictures. I just wasn't in the mood.
We had the stream to ourselves.
Here's a half-assed photo of Nick gearing up.
The anti-skunk savior who took a small flashabou midge
The only redeeming part of the afternoon was a few cold Lagunitas Maximus IPAs, and this little goofball waiting for me when I got home. I can't believe how big he got. He's almost a month old already.
Also, in case you missed it, thanks to Jason over at Tenkara Talk! Making that embarrassing video was worth it because I won the Tenkara USA net! This thing looks so nice that I don't even want to use it. I might just have to hang it on the wall of my bar.
And keep an eye out for a post about the first official Instagram fly swap once I receive my bugs! Gin Clear did a great post about it, so you should just head over there to check it out. I really need to get tying. I'm also involved in a fatty streamer swap over at PaFlyFish that I need to get going on!
That's about all I got. I have to speak at the funeral tomorrow and I could really use a good night's sleep. Maybe I'll catch up with some of you at the Fly Fishing Show this weekend?
Thanks for the shout, Mike. I really think I'm the rookie hack in the bunch. So don't hold your hopes up for some purty flies from me, but they will catch fish and, that's what really matters.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you got out. I'ld be falling over myself if I hooked a brownie.
I went to the fly fishing show last weekend in Marlborough, MA. It was good. Looks like the one in Somerset will draw a much larger crowd.
