If you’re thinking I need to get my butt out fishing because the blog has been way too quiet – I agree! But that yard sale, spring clean up and overall catching up on a lot of things after that wonderful trip to Wisconsin set me back a little. Furthermore, May is not a great time for fishing here in Idaho. Spring runoff has our rivers running high. The only fisheries are tailwaters and because they are the only fishing, everyone and their brother is there. I’m not into the crowds no matter how good the fishing is.
I’m hoping to get on a lake here soon. Jenny is on the books for Thursday but its weather permitting. As I type I’m watching a gross wet snow cover the backyard and the forecast for the next week isn’t too great. The more I get done now the more I can fish later. And plus, these Western tanagers are pretty entertaining as I work.
I’ve also been doing a Zoom presentation a week for several fly fishing clubs. This week I’m delivering “Streamer Tricks for More and Larger Trout” for Deep Creek Fly Fishers in CA. I’ve spoke to Deep Creek twice in person over the years but this will be from my den – incredible how things have changed the last year. This being said, I am doing a live full day seminar in Memphis in less than two weeks. I am stoked to present to a live crowd for the first time in a while!
In my clean up I’ve sorted about 20 classic fly fishing books I’m going to part with for half the cover price. If anyone wants a list Contact me. Some of you cleaned out my rod and reel closet now I need to thin out the book shelf. And don’t forget my web store with Father’s Day a month away!
