It was a quick turn around from Mexico to Alberta, Canada. I flew home from Baja and unpacked my saltwater gear and cleaned it up. Then packed up my seminar goods for an extended weekend of speaking that started Thursday night in Great Falls, Montana. Friday it was on to Lethbridge, Alberta through Sunday at the Chinook Waters Fly Fishing Club. I kicked it off for a huge crowd with a new show from Kendjam with crazy fish of the Southern Amazon.
The weather has been challenging. Delayed flights and slow highways have been especially draining and stressful. Luckily, I haven’t missed a gig and they’ve all gone well too. The highlight was teaching a watercolor painting class to 25 kids of the club. The youngsters created some masterpieces of a rainbow trout eating mayfly. Amazingly I had their attention for nearly two hours!
I’m presently on a bus headed north for Calgary, Alberta. It’s another gloomy March day with light snow and wind. I look out from my bus window and it’s basically a white out across the plains.
Tonight, is the last stop of my last big tour of the season. I’ll be presenting “Fly Fishing Though Midlife Heaven” for Fish Tales Fly Shop in Calgary and drawing on fly boxes. If you live near be sure to check the event out. Click here for the details.
Tomorrow I head home and in a few days I’ll begin a journey to Oviedo, Spain. Details to come. . . .
Sounds like you are going to need some “Granny” time soon! She might forget what you look like. Kendjam…..Humm, sounds interesting
