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 Practically 10 years later, my old Eagle Claw Featherlight has been replaced by a quiver of rods covering everything from small stream trout to big salmon and the bluegill have taken a backseat to sea-run cutthroat, resident silvers, fat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.

It's nice to know that some people weren't afraid of this weekend's foul weather.

Not the type of scene that would get me excited about fishing, but to each their own. :)

Snow and who-knows-what-else aside, Clark and Tyler made it out for some steelheading with the centerpin.

If you're not familiar with centerpinning, I encourage you to google it, there are a ton of youtube videos circulating on the subject.

The easiest way I can explain it is nymphing on steroids. It isn't fly fishing, but that doesn't mean skill isn't involved. Quite the contrary.

And for their efforts and tenacity, both Clark and Tyler were rewarded with these bright, shiny objects:

Once again, the old adage applies--nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Nice work, guys.

I guess I'll be getting a pin setup this year... ;)
