Late Night Fly Tying: Goodbye Edition
The table is empty, with the exception of a few knick-knacks, but still the cleanest it has been since it became my designated fly tying desk. Is this related to the big news I referenced in the previous post? Yes. I’m cleaning up the fly tying bench because on Saturday morning we’ll be leaving middle […]

Coming Soon
I recently had the pleasure of fishing with Tommy from Following Ghost. Thoughts and pictures (possibly a video?) to follow. In the meantime, I’ve got to figure out how I’m going to replace a broken rod…
More Recently
The bass are certainly still biting. Only difference is the summer bite is in full swing, and summer has certainly shown up in full force. The bass bite it getting later and later. For a while there I was hooking decent fish in the late afternoon. Now, the bite doesn’t really start until well after […]
Nothing New Happening Here
