Every Tuesday we will try to rationalize on life and fly fishing.
02/09/10: I’m sure a lot of us on the East are trying to find ways to rationalize how this month long barrage of snow storms could be a good thing. FULL FLY BOXES!!! 
and learning new skillZ. Like…..how to make furled musky leaders with nothing but a few rusty nails and scrap wood.
And all the FREE (Real) Snow…Snow Cones you can carry!!!!
Every Sunday we will be posting some of the Fly Fishing Media Noir found on the web of worldwide fly fishing madness.
02/07/10: Tortures for FLieS “A Fantastic Voyange” followed up with a little Catch Magazines Bass-Tastic T-MOTION.
When my wife asked me if I wanted to go to the camp and fish while she prepared the trailer for the coming season I said what any avid fisherman would say, “Is this some type of trick?” She replied with laughter and that she had some stuff she could do up there plus the trailer has heat, tv, and a couch to occupy her time. So we loaded up the charger and went to….looking for something catchy…..nothing……..elkins.
The water in and around shavers fork has been terrible for that last 2-3 weeks with all the snow melt off and rain. So this day being thursday, water levels finally at normal for the 2nd straight day in 2-3 weeks, recent stockings, cloudy skies, and temps in the 20’s, it should be a good day on the water. 
IT WAS!!! 3 hours of trout fishing paradise. Only a few people on the stream and they were either fishing from the bridge, climbing down the pillars of the bridge, or fishing from high up on the banks. Didn’t see another person actually fishing from the water.
Water was pretty cold, probably mid to high 40’s maybe low 50’s, perfectly cold. You could see just a slight greenish tint to the water but not bad. Good flows, overcast skies, 27 degree air temps…..perfect as long as you didn’t go swimming.
The fishing started off fast and ended even faster as my 3 hr time limit came quickly. I ended up landing 9 of 13 hooked, the first 3 on a gold ribbed hares ear. Then the next 4 on a white wooldy bugger and the last 2 on a orange squirmy wormy. Nothing with any size, all in the 12-16 inch range. Brook and Rainbow trout. I did manage to turn a few better sized fish way down deep slow stipping a white wooly. I”ll see you stockies again SUNDAY!!! (hopefully)
Every Friday we will throw some pics up from our vast library of all things fish. Each week will have a theme, very similar to the weekly all you can eat theme special at your local exotic dancing establishment.
02/02/2010: We will Be VICTORIOUS!!! In what you say? Apparently, as our sub-heading states, an all monkey production of A River Runs Through It. Should be bananas.
Every Thursday we will attempt to bring you to a tying bench from somewhere across the world.

Sitting here, for what I know will be at least another hour, waiting for the wife to ready herself to accompany me to the mountains. I wonder, which would be the coolest pet to have?
A horse that plays dead?
Or a cow that plays dead?

Ryan floated the Nanty the other day with Kent and Photog’ Louis Cahill. The major swine eluded the boys but it always pays to have a professional photographer on the boat to catch all your, “Oh shit moments,” when trying to negotiate the whitewater of the Nanty (Which is a little more serious than just for play play). Just goes to show that a little professionalism behind the lens can make any jackass look like a whitewater hero. Click On the pic for a bigger view.

Buddy of mine came in from the left coast and got smacked with, what has become the all to frequent, inclement weather. Still managed to get a few hours in on the Davidson and even got to touch a few trout. He did spot and get refused by a 28″ dinosaur Brown. He left town blathering something about donkey trout and trans-american travel, must be a west coast thing.
