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 Practically 10 years later, my old Eagle Claw Featherlight has been replaced by a quiver of rods covering everything from small stream trout to big salmon and the bluegill have taken a backseat to sea-run cutthroat, resident silvers, fat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

I haven't been holding out on you.

Sometimes, my 9-5 life gets the better of me and precludes me from writing about the things I enjoy.

Worse yet, it gives me a case of writer's block from time to time.

So it has been the past couple of weeks.

In fact, I'm still dealing with the writer's block problem.

Fortunately, I can rely on the following pictures to address that issue.

Enjoy...

It starts earlier than this for us...

Three hours into our day.

You have to love this time of year.

The obligatory flatfish...again.

I just thought this was kind of a cool pic.

The preferred way to start the morning.

Followed by a few casts before the sun fills the sky.

Another pic I liked.

Watch out for these guys--their wake can be pretty nasty.

Here we go again.

First of the day.

On again!

My turn!

Did I mention that was a double?

Of course, his fish had to be bigger than mine--here's a closer look.

That's better!

Is it me, or do we keep getting up earlier?

Never mind, it isn't me.

What? They like pink?

I guess they do.

Yup, they really like pink!

We've been up for how long? Time for a break!

Yum.

Are they ready yet?

Can I have my chair back? :)

"Hey, check it out!"

FMBWA: Fisheries Management By Walking Around

Ah, the circus.

The circus is fun!

Good times.

Off you go!

Bonk!

Dead quiet this morning...

No matter...

...it'll happen when it happens.

As most things do.

Double the fun!

Going out on a good note...
