Camping Trip Day 1 5/21/10

Met up with Brian and Ian on the stream Friday evening to start up the annual camping trip.  Overcast and some light rain... the fishing was tough!  Set up camp and tied some flies, it was peaceful.

Inland B&W 5/15/10

Went out for a full day with the crew.  It is rare that this combo happens, and when it does I tend to get a little camera happy.   It was even sunny which is rare by itself!  Anglers:  Jessie Hollenbeck, Andy Borden, and new member Jim Guida.

Inland with the Kids 5/7/10

Back east and to my home river.  I had a great time showing my parents where I fish, and meeting up with Brian and his son was an added bonus.  I also fished with a new addition to the photography gear.  I received an underwater housing for my camera, an awesome present from my wife!  Fishing was slow at first, but picked up as Brian finally cracked the code.  Stripping big streamers... of course.

Hendrickson Hatch 4/18/10

Met up for an afternoon/evening of dry flying with Jessie Hollenbeck. We got to the river right on schedule with the Hendrickson duns, and took a few on top in the first few minutes. Got a surprise visit from another friend Ian Yorkston a little later, but unfortunately the wind picked up, and the temperature dropped fast. Spinners didn't show up like we hoped, but we still got a couple more takers throughout the evening.
