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 Practically 10 years later, my old Eagle Claw Featherlight has been replaced by a quiver of rods covering everything from small stream trout to big salmon and the bluegill have taken a backseat to sea-run cutthroat, resident silvers, fat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

A beautiful weekend. The sun was out, the wind was down and, after a bit of driving, the fish cooperated.

I spent Saturday with Jeremy, a guy that had just gotten back into fly fishing after taking a few years off.

Though the light to non-existent breeze and the sun on our faces might have projected a day of generosity, the fishing told quite a different story as we moved from beach to beach.

Eventually, as in weeks past, we found them and for a moment, all was right with the world.

At least to us--this fish may disagree!

Another day on the water passed and as I pulled into my driveway, my cell beeped.

The text relayed a successful report.

Naturally, I had to verify the findings. ;)
