It's now the weekend of February 21-22, 2009. I went to the Pasadena Fly Fishing Show this past weekend. Very poorly attended. I didn't go to any of the workshops (too busy kibutzing with lots of friends I was surprised to see, which did make the show worth going to), but there were no major vendors there, not even Orvis, which has a retail store about three blocks away from the site of the show. Interestingly, Hardy was there, with their $1200.00 fly rod, and very pretty brochures. Not too many people interested in a $1200 fly rod that I could see.

And was this a float trip through the Little J, or were you fishing the railroad land he illegally posted? Jon: I’d post a picture or two if you had one.

P.S. fishing his recently un-posted land on the Little J. was spectacular in many different ways. As a lover of Pennsylvania’s Little Juniata, I always love a good Donny Beaver rip.

If the flows are perfect, the moon is new, and the Magician (fly selection), the King of Cups (for the PBR), and the Five of Wands (meaning my 5-weight) all show up, I go for the weekend. Barring that, I'm trying to figure out if I can tow a pontoon behind my mountain bike. I’ve been seeing a tarot reader every Wednesday.
