Yesterday’s small stream raid included a reconnaissance in force to a blue squiggle on the map I’d never visited before (squiggle courtesy Expert Mapmeister Older Bro).
Did it pay off? You decide:
Ahhhh. A new place to play...
The water was very high and very cold, and we didn’t get bit anywhere we fished (included the old reliable stuff), suggesting it’s time for some warm weather to make its freakin’ ‘where the hell have you been‘ appearance (it’s 38 degrees and raining as I write this).
A longer report after I’ve made a few clients happy.
See you on a newfound stream, Tom Chandler.
Nice forward cast from the Bro.. When do you teach him how to spell his name in the air?

He claims he was the stunt caster for the “Fly Girls” poster we featured a couple weeks ago.
He borrowed the 8′ 4wt Superfine Touch I was testing, and then refused to give it back. Fit his casting style a bit better than mine, but who’s to argue with a tight loop?
This little find reminds me of a timber-choked, over-the-banks version of a certain cutthroat stream I’ve been to…

38 degrees and raining? Outstanding weather; gotta love it. Time for a fire in the fireplace, and some hot chocolate with little M. Or, you could move to L.A. …

It’s since warmed to 40 degrees and raining, so I’ve stopped complaining…

I knew that degree in Geography would come in handy someday. I spend way too much time on Google Earth and TOPO, and well, there was this interesting looking canyon… Glad we took the time to hike in.
I really liked the Orvis Superfine. Next time I might not give it back. I wasn’t going to give it back this time, but God, he whined and snivelled so much — I finally gave it back just to shut him up. By the way, saying you’re going to tell Mom really doesn’t work anymore. Big baby.

What I don’t understand is why you never take a liking to my cheap rods, like that (ahem) affordable 7’9″ Versitex 3wt (that’s really a 4wt).

Good taste perhaps? I am Smarter and Better Looking after all.
