It’s been a while since I’ve posted a weekend round-up. It’s also been a while since I went fishing on a weekend. Anyway, I’m sure you’ve noticed the header on this post is for another websites. You may ask, “well, why would you put that on your blog?” Simple. Fisherous.com is an awesome fishing blog, […]

Creek ‘Gills
I’m back home in Alabama for the next week and a half so I decided to sling some bugs in the creek behind my parent’s house on light tackle. Fortunately, the creek still gets plenty of sun. The water temp seems to be significantly warmer than waters in Tennessee. Naturally, I can’t help but snatch […]
Late Night Fly Tying
I have got to stop tying and get on the water. Still, I haven’t had time to change that. We’ve had steady rain for the past several days (staying away from the river for a while), and it has gone from cool to freakin’ freezing! I’m afraid the bass have holed up – have I […]
Late Night Fly Tying
I’m back at the vise tonight. I’m feeling optimistic, even though I’ve been fumbling and wasting material all evening/morning. I guess I feel pretty good for having such an off night at the vise. Maybe I’m feeling good because our house smells like a Christmas Tree. Maybe I’m feeling good because it seems like changes […]
Holiday Fly Tying
It’s been a week since Thanksgiving, but things haven’t slowed down. Thanksgiving is just the unofficial starting flag for Christmas, which keeps everyone busy. We’ve been traveling a lot over the past few days, and now that we’re back in Nashville it’s time to catch up on a lot. Over the break I’ve quite a […]
Midmorning Fly Tying
Yep. You read the title correctly. I’m on somewhat of a normal sleeping schedule (for now). I was able to get up this morning after sleeping a full 8 hours, and drink a few cups of coffee while tying flies. It felt refreshingly normal. Outside of tying flies that I haven’t used, there’s not much […]
Late Night Fly Tying
I’m back at the fly bench after a short hiatus. Typically whenever I take time off that means I haven’t lost enough flies. Don’t worry, though. One trip to the gulf and a few trips to the river will change that in a hurry. Tonight (last night) was a frustrating night. I needed dark wooly […]
Spontaneous trip to the Gulf
Friday morning around 7:00 a.m., right as Rachel was leaving work, both of us decided to go to Florida. She worked Thursday night, meaning we were running on 26 hours with no sleep by the time we arrived late Friday night. It was the best decision we’ve made in a while. Also, add the Jones […]
Late night fly tying
That’s a pretty crappy picture. I guess that’s what happens when you take all of your pictures with a cell phone camera. Pictured above is one of my favorite flies. I’m not going into what it is because if you’ve ever read a post on this blog then you know. I guess I need to […]
What’s New?
So what’s new? Not a whole lot over here. I’ve been laid up in my room for the past few days with a killer ear infection. My ear has been completely closed up over the past few days. It started getting really bad after my last trip to (you guessed it) the river. The doctor […]
