A Blue Winged Olive on Ice (an Un-Fly Fishing Report)

The Underground chucked it all today for a shot at a trout - and BWO pics.

The Underground chucked it all today for a shot at a trout - though you'll never guess the fly

I wasn’t having a sterling day. In fact, it seemed as if going fly fishing or becoming a serial killer were my two viable choices.

I barely opted for fly fishing, grabbed Wally the Wonderdog, skied into the river, and found a few BWOs waiting for me… on ice.

A report’s coming soon. Until then, see you on the river (and lock your doors), Tom Chandler.

This is a cool pic! I am just getting started in fly fishing, there are no trout in my part of Iowa but I want to try for Bass, Pike, and Carp! Look forward to picking up some tips from you blog!  (Quote)

Ah..yes this happens. For me, even here in the midwest, you know, not the glorious paradise of California, a BWO on the snow is the real sign that spring is coming. If I could only get out on the stream.  (Quote)

Tequila…cures everything or at least can be used as a more effective defense to just about anything.

cool picture Tom

….deep breathing, close your eyes and think….blue skies, big fluffy clouds, beautiful white sand beaches….now sip the tequila. Isn’t that better?
