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 …
Get it while you can. That’s what I have to live by these days. Woke up, pounded out the bike routine, started reading for class then got the urge to touch a trout. Wife was out the door for a girls thing, left me with the afternoon free. I gambled …

[singlepic id=1133 w=300 h=220 float=left] Onsite arrival: 11:45am. I geared up and decided to take a quick peek at the situation prior to my compadre arriving at 12:30pm. I dawned a pair of new waders and boots today for the first time, my first set of breath-ables, about time… Snowshoes …
