Video: The 249 South

I’ve been busy these past two weeks. Turns out learning an entirely different video editing program is daunting and frustrating at times but in the end will likely be a major upgrade resulting in faster smoother post production work. I carried with me multiple cameras and fly rod in an …

The 249 South: 2/14/18

40’s in February. I couldn’t help myself and on Valentines day none the less. Guess my wife’s gift to me was letting me bust out to touch trout, hunt for rising fish and film as much as I could while doing so. I left as early as I could and …

Notes of Interest: Fished from 12:20pm-3:30pm Sunny Skies and Low Wind 18°F Airtemp at 12:20pm Clear/Low Creek Flows No midge and no rising trout. Out again to continue testing the newer streamer I’ve been tying, curious to see if it performs on spooky trout in a gin clear creek. Fished …

1st of Many: 1/27/18

Notes of Interest: For the usual notes regarding conditions and observed temperatures see the short post I put up the day before.  On Friday afternoon I put my daughter in her pack and set off with my two dogs on a short hike out to see the sunset. As we …

January 18th, 2018

Notes of Interest: Fished from 11am-3pm. Midge were crawling on the banks at 11:30am. Airtemp on arrival 28° F. Saw only a single rise all afternoon. Trout were holding deep. Fished nymphs deep and streamers in the shallow. I’m not an expert when it comes to fly fishing for trout …

Video: The Cold Sun

I am loving this winter season and despite the absolute bitter cold Ryan and I have been getting after it. The sun and lack of wind made being out so much more comfortable and enjoyable. I have to give Ryan credit as he stepped up his filming game this time …

Notes of Interest: Cold start to the day -4°F. Observed a few fully frozen over creeks. Fished from 11:15am-2:15pm. Nymphs were the main fare for the day. #12 Hairball did the trick. Sunny skies, minimal wind. High was 2°F. My life is now about my daughter. I used to do …

Oct. 7th & 13th 2017

After the BWCA trip I had to focus on my daughter and re-shingling my house which has left very little time to touch trout. The conditions couldn’t have been more perfect and knowing it would be a while beforeI’d make it out again I managed to squeeze in some time …

March 2nd, 2015: Cold Hands

We are imperfect creatures. I am imperfect. I am stubborn. I am also determined. I approached a slow shallow section of creek laden with what could have been hundreds, literally hundreds of brook trout, from upstream as I hiked my foot prints back downstream from where I’d came. I passed this …

Feb. 9th, 2015: Winter Sun

Winter Sun: Molly Fisk How valuable it is in these short days, threading through empty maple branches, the lacy-needled sugar pines. Its glint off sheets of ice tells the story of Death’s brightness, her bitter cold. We can make do with so little, just the hint of warmth, the slanted …
