4/3/18: In the Snow

Back to swinging streamers as the snow came falling down yesterday. It’s easy to be frustrated with a snowstorm in the first week of April especially after we managed to avoid any major run-off problems over the past few weeks. I strung my rod as big wet flakes fell rapidly …

More Video: Jan. 1st, 2018

Despite the bitter cold I managed to get some video while we were out. If you were wondering what a spring fed creek looks like at 9:30am in -8 degrees F° on January the 1st this video should take care of that. I love the winter season maybe the most …

Jan. 6th, 2013: Jensen’s Streamer
