Mr. Spots

September 1, 2010 Outdoor Photo Journal

In a rare stroke of clearness, I accidentally got a decent face on picture of this fish. Usually everything I try to do while I’m wrestling with fly rod, net, current, fish and bloody camera looks like a fingerprint smudge —However, in a desperate attempt to figure out what I was doing wrong, I did [...]

And now we try Spey Fishing…

August 31, 2010 Spey Fishing

I knew better, I really did, but on Saturday I went to an event so loaded with temptations that I’m still having  visions of standing in a river, cutting a fly Line through the air with finesse and catching a steelie with a touch of Mackdaddy style. When I received the Spey Clave flier via [...]

The Joy and Curse of the Magic Fly

August 27, 2010 Fly Fishing

Yesterday I felt the world pressing in on me from all angles and the intense feeling of  claustrophobia became so severe that the only thing I could think to do as an antidote was head immediately to the nearest fishery. No? Not buying an overly dramatic excuse? Ok fine. I just wanted to go Fly [...]

August 27, 2010 Fly Fishing

Today the second issue of Bloodknot Magazine was released for publication. They went with a no trout allowed theme and believe it or not, this trout loving gal has an article in there about—-are you ready—-BASS.

Fishing the Middle Fork

August 25, 2010 Outdoor Photo Journal

 Joe and I spent a second day Fly Fishing up on the Middle Fork of the Boise River—A complete 180 from the big fish fiesta of the day before. I wasn’t worried about the lack of fish size or rod bending action since Joe had assured me that he liked little river, little fish adventures [...]

Just call me “Fly Fishing Tour Guide-ess”

August 23, 2010 Fly Fishing

I’m happy to report that Wolfy aka Joe, came to my stomping grounds here in Idaho, spent a few days fishing with me and I sent him back East not only ALIVE, but without snake bite nor bear attack wounds. I consider those facts an enormous bonus to the grading curve of my tour guide skills. We got the snake [...]

When Internet and Rivers Converge

August 17, 2010 Fly Fishing

When I started 2010, I listed two goals in my Fly Fishing category of life. The first goal was to be nicer, or sweet, or at least cordial to any White Fish I might discover at the end of my fly line.  So far, I’m still rockin’  a 100% success rate of accomplishment in that [...]

A Second Date with Oregon Fishing…

August 5, 2010 Fly Fishing

As pledged, I headed back into Oregon this last weekend to see if the fishing chemistry I felt the first time around was simply an infatuation or if it had the potential for a long term relationship. My first stop found me visiting the “River X”– Since I’m fairly certain all forms of communication (cell [...]

It’s a Bug Thing

August 4, 2010 Outdoor Photo Journal

After I finished a much needed grease breakfast in the  ‘don’t blink’ town of Spray Oregon over the weekend, I noticed this bug on the inside of the Fishcruisers windshield. I couldn’t help but wonder what he was thinking from his drivers side view of all the dead splatters of perished cousins. Lucky perhaps? Normally I would be [...]

Fly Fishing New Waters…

July 28, 2010 Fly Fishing

See that visual on the left there? The one of me holding my fly box open, hand running across possible fly choices? The look of intense concentration? As I went through the pictures taken on my trip to Oregon, there seems to be a lot of those same types of pictures. The, “well hell….now what” [...]
