Changing it up

For some godly reason i had a desire to nymph some smaller water today. was thinking stones but as luck would have it a multitude of nymphs worked. the water was low but the weather was superb. no wind, blue skies and warm temps. couldn't ask for a better day, weather wise. i nymphed up a variety pack today.....browns, whities and a rainbow. i came up to this one hole and happened to look around and saw something perched in a tree. i soon noticed that it was a porcupine. i decided to go climb that tree and try and get some photos of the critter. got a few shots then proceeded to continue upstream. the fishing wasn't spectacular and the fish were small but it was fun just the same.

Moving Day

The weather was great today and the fish seemed to notice. i didn't catch shit other then a dink of a brown but it was good to see that many fish for a beautiful mid January day. took a break to turn over some rocks and found the largest salmonfly nymph i've personally ever seen.

Streamers....My Favorites and Most Fished

I was reading a post from the gink and gasoline guys on their blog titled....13 Proven Streamer Patterns for Trout....which is nothing more then a list of streamers that they fish and that work for them. it had me thinking about my favorite streamers and ones that fish really well for me. most of the patterns i fish are my own ties so are not known buy anybody except those that fish with me on a regular basis. the scuba steve is a pattern from my friend joe willauer over at www.evoanglers.com. Here is my list of my favorite streamers that i throw on a regular basis, some of which i don't have a name for. i will add that most of my streamers are at least 3 inches but i generally small smaller versions on small streams, but not always.

Fucking Wind

It was absolutely brutal today so i didn't fish as long as i had planned. the temp's were pretty condusive for streamers and i managed a couple, but it is real tough to fish in a strong wind. i also forgot my camera today so i only had my phone so the pics suck more then normal.

Lamson Warranty

I have to give props to lamson's warranty repair. i sent in my LS2 less then a week ago due to my drag free spooling and just got it back today with a new drag installed. less then a week and for a mere $20, kuddos to lamson.
