Fly fishing
About Jon: Ever since I caught my first 6-inch pogy on a spincast outfit, I’ve been hooked on fishing. During my freshman year of college, I picked up a book, a cheap fly outfit and a really crummy fly tying kit and proceeded to convince bluegill that my flies were better than the real thing. Practically 10 years later, my old Eagle Claw Featherlight has been replaced by a quiver of rods covering everything from small stream trout to big salmon and the bluegill have taken a backseat to sea-run cutthroat, resident silvers, fat desert trout and everything in between. If it swims, I’m in.

Satisfaction in the Salt
Posted by Jon Aqui @ 07:24:32 am

Where: The beach
When: Sunday
Conditions: Sunny, warm
Flies used: Clousers
Species pursued: Sea run cutthroat, resident coho

Song of the day: "Satisfaction," Benny Benassi

"So every other weekend you can go?"

"Yeah."

After a busy summer, Jamie's schedule has finally opened up for some consistent fishing.

I wasn't able to catch up with him a few weeks ago, but I think this past weekend more than made up for it, as you'll see below:

A few casts into the day quickly produced this one.

On a new rod, no less! :)

The pattern would continue throughout the day--we'd see fish jump, we'd cast, and they'd eat.

Case in point. ;)

But, like with most good things, they must end, and after a few hours the wind crashed our little party.

"Oh well," I thought.

Nothing left to do but relax and revel in the satisfaction of a great morning of fishing...with a cigar, of course. ;)
