Exactly a week ago today Granny and I got home after the long show season. It was perfect timing. We had freaky warm weather in the upper 70°s for the first five days. Almost all of our snow melted. Then yesterday a storm rolled in and its back to freezing.
There’s been zero fishing. I’ve spent every minute catching up on things including unpacking. I don’t mean unpacking from the shows. I’m talking still unpacking for moving into our house! My fun has been listening to the Cubs over the radio waves beating up on some pretty solid teams while working. This could be a good baseball summer. I just need to get my Fantasy team to do a little better.
I’ll be fishing here shortly. On Thursday I leave for Grand Slam Lodge in Mexico to host a group of Fly Fishers International / Yellow Dog Flyfishing guests. This is a short trip that includes a mere three days fishing. But if I catch a few bonefish and get one legitimate cast to a permit, it will be more than worth it.
If you have time on Wednesday night, you can catch me live on Ask About Fly Fishing.com Internet Radio. This show is called “Currier’s Quest” and the questions they ask will be focused on me trying to catch as many species on a fly as possible. If you go to their website you can actually type in your own questions and they will ask me on the show. I’ve done a bunch of these live broadcast over the years and they are great fun.
That’s it for now. I’m off to see the Hayward Orthopedic Surgeon. I recently had X-Rays and last Wednesday I finally got an MRI on the left shoulder. It hasn’t been hurting like it did to start the New Year and luckily three months of PT has kept me in the fishing game. But she still hurts, looks deformed and I have restricted movement. Stay tuned.
