Winter Fishing

So yesterday was the first time that I've been able to get out and flyfish since August. Ridiculous, I'm well aware. Well we made the long drive and headed North to our famous tailwater here in WY. The fishing was spot on, we moved many many fish with several particular ties and the correct rig setup. My group of guys did exceptional and the others fishing around us were given a free fishing clinic, haha. Although there were many fish caught only several were of much size. Most fish were 15-16 inch rainbows with several that were crouching twenty with one at 22. It was a beautiful day with low wind speeds and the sun shining. Wonderful Wyoming, gotta love it

Winter....

Well missing out on winter last year and getting a full serving of its wrath now, is pretty much getting me down. But no worries, I've been out shooting a few birds and trying to keep busy. I'm winding down my last few days here in Nebraska, and am getting excited to be back around my stomping grounds seeing my friends and family. I was breaking ice for the bird dogs and was recalling where I was last year at this time...South in New Zealand. I feel the need to share some warm photos from down there today, if not for anyone else then for myself. Enjoy
