Crossed paths yesterday afternoon with this guy while stepping over a famous creek. First thing I looked for was head size as this water snake closely mimics the Cottonmouth W/M which I’ve seen close up in NC a few times. Those are not to be messed with. Bad attitudes. The water snake and I...

Ripley on NetFlix. Dark Mystery starting in NY then moves to Europe about someone who is able to steal your ID and other parts of your life. Filmed on location in Sicily and Italy in a black & white monotone. Settings jump out at you. Acting is top notch. Finally had my wife watch it and to me...

Richard, the Principle would like to see you in his office immediately…if not SOONER!

Russ Peak, Vince Cummings and others were some of the early masters of fiberglass fly rod design. Another one that comes to mind is Jimmy Green (yes that one) who mastered the art of ferrule design for completing the package, if you will. Larry Kenney brought his knowledge of fiberglass...

Rich, It was a conspiracy I tell ya, a conspiracy! I believe it did both of us good. She was a different person when I got home. Today we head to Penn State Hershey M/C to meet with her cardiologist. Looking forward to a good day.

I’m told it’s more sustained temperature driven than time of season which to me turns it into a scavenger hunt…or lottery😉 if you will. The MoMos on the other hand can cause mental anguish when they migrate in hordes down the canyon walls. So many calories to consume the fish can ignore...

Brute, early on before all this started to come together I remembered that you had shaken off the winter doldrums last year, or maybe the year before, and had a couple good days there early in the year. Then your Gunnison Canyon trip floated through my memory bank and a Green/Gunnison double...

The planets aligned mid March and during that period the wife said you’re driving her crazy. She had a hard winter with a couple of ailments (still) but arranged with grandson wife & great granddaughter to come visit for a week to get me out of the house. After weeks of some times two trips to...

Proof positive that humans can get it right when they get their crap together. Great story in my feed this morning from the NYT Saturday Canada Letter about Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen. The man has got his personal focus located correctly. From the NYT: “Before he boarded a rocket to the...

Excellent! Theory: Had two rods set up and was switching out and…… as we all know lines and flies will float but rods and reels do not.

Still on the bottom. It was ballast. I’ll meet you at the ramp at 0600. We’ll crack this case before lunch and then take the afternoon off. First thing Wednesday morning I’ll meet you at Colonel Mustard’s place before he has his eye opener. He’s been seen cavorting with the Ex at the museum...

The Ex-wife to be, with a canoe, after dark with help from the butler, maybe? 🤔

Can’t identify this rascal, maybe a Red Tail, due to being backlit by a gray sky but I like the fact he/she was roosting on the eagle atop the Excelsior Brigade Monument dedicated to NY V/I in Sickles Division. 7/2/1863 was a very tough day for them. This is one of many nearby but it’s mate...

It’s a subscription add-on to Apple TV. I believe it is $100/year if I read it correctly. Cancelled 2/26. She is the TV addict who needs monthly help managing her subscriptions on Roku. Her British mystery shows, all starring the same 11 actors, drive me batshit with the “ominous music” as it...

Excellent! It caught my cat’s attention when I played the video. Great idea. Looks like it has a little dyslexic DNA of Jack Gartside’s Gurgler in it. That will be fun to hunt the pads with

Wyoming, East of Rawlings yesterday from a friend. Wind Weight & High Profile restrictions were posted. You can tell by placement they were west bound.

Mark, Assuming you’re looking at Flaming Gorge area due to the ask about fishing options, plus food and accommodations. I’ve stayed in the area multiple times and different seasons. Accommodations: There are multiple options but the two I’ve always used are Flaming Gorge Resort and Red Canyon...

Loved them all. One of the Best. He had me in Bullitt as the taxi driver taking McQueen to the phone booth. (Smithsonian Public Phone/cash) McQueen gets back in the taxi….. Duval: “…made two calls..second long distance” McQueen: “…yeah…?” Duval: “…second was long distance..” McQueen: “…how do...

Ahhhh……”trolling flies”….not in my bag of tricks. Didn’t catch that on the cell in the dark while buying fuel. For me trolling is like watching a TV test pattern. You’ll be looking at bullet head lures with artificial hair or as @SurfnFish mentioned large/long Clouser like flies might suffice...

Either tonight or tomorrow at some time when I get home I’ll dig into my collection of large caliber flies and see what I have and post some images, etc. if it’s tuna forget the wire. If it’s King Macs it’s wire at least 60#. Trey Combs book, Blue Water Flyfishing, which I have, has some great...
