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 [...]

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 [...]

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 (Trout) Lady Goes Bass Fishing…..(Help)

May 5, 2010 Fly Fishing For Bass

Lets see, it’s Wednesday morning and in just over 24 hours I’ll be abandoning my wader boots at home and heading off for a weekend of buffet fishing. Buffet fishing = a whole lotta finned friends that aren’t on my normal fishing catch list. From Thursday through Sunday,  I’ll be in pursuit of strange and mystical fishies [...]

Fish On, Fish Off…There was no Middle Zone

April 24, 2010 Fly Fishing

In hindsight I probably should have skipped a part two in regards to my Steelhead fishing. I do not have the coveted grip and grin photo to display. I do not have the “I landed this whopper and it was kick ass” story. What I have is a whole lot of Steelhead caught and quickly lost from a super [...]

Crowded With a Side of Steelhead

April 22, 2010 Fly Fishing

I think it was last Thursday, when I was asked, “Hey, do you want to go Steelhead fishing?” ……..35 minutes later I was in the truck and headed North. THAT is why I have the emergency grab and go camp totes. No muss, no fuss, just grab the minimal and get the hell out of dodge [...]

A little Fly Fishing Fate

April 6, 2010 Fly Fishing

~From under the Blackberry Camera~ When I woke up yesterday it was rasnowing. You know, a sweet mixture of rain and snow. It was exactly the kind of mixed weather signal that just dared me to go out and fly fish in it. So being the brave and fearless sort of fisherman that I am, I grabbed my gear– plus [...]
