1/11/19: Solitude

It just so happened that some good news came my way a while back and then a few days later the bad followed. I won’t get into it but just know that for those of us who fish because we love it and not because we are constantly hunting for …

The Brookie: Jan. 5th, 2019

I work on the weekends and during the week. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find time to fish when I have a nearly two year old at home. I don’t want to miss important time with her as she grows up. She’s at a stage where she doesn’t want to …

Jan. 1st, 2019: The Opener

The day started at 4 am for me. I rolled over in my hammock and looked down at the time. I fell back asleep for another two hours then I waited. At 6:30 am I yelled to Ryan that it was time. Get up, get going, climb the bluff and …

12/31/18: The Day Before

I left work at 7am and drove straight home. I showered and double checked the gear I was bringing. I repacked my bag for the last time and despite feeling like I was forgetting something I tossed my stuff in the car and hit the road. It was 8:40. Ryan …

1/1/19: Prelude

Of all days in a year I look forward to January 1st more than any other. My wife long ago let any hopes of me attending a New Year’s party with her fade. Since I started fishing for trout I’ve yet to miss a January 1st opener no matter the …

Time Away and What It Means

October 15th was the last time I touched a trout. It was also the last time that I hiked a stream. With Minnesota opening the state parks to off-season fishing I could have fished quite a bit but I enjoy and prefer this short separation. I spend more time with …

A Mark of Permanence

I am not a book reviewer nor do I tend to read poetry much. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy it but I haven’t dedicated time to learn to enjoy it the way I might after reading this book. Justin’s poems and prose are relatable and cause me to …

Seasons end pt. 5

It’s the second to last day of the season and I’m home not feeling any sort of urgency to get out and fish. I have to work overnight starting at 7 pm meaning I have to leave the house by six. I’ve got the afternoon to fish but its a …

Seasons end pt. 4

Surrounded in a cocoon of down I roll over to look at my watch, it’s 8:30 am. 12hrs? How did I sleep for 12 hours? I needed to pack camp and get to higher ground to confirm plans with Carl. I boiled water for oatmeal as I packed my hammock …

Seasons end pt. 3

It’s 8 am and I’m pulling into a Kwik Trip parking lot. The skies are overcast, it’s moderately windy and it feels cold, colder than I was expecting. I brought my waders but was hoping to avoid wearing them. I guess avoiding them wasn’t going to happen. Carl pulls up, …
