Feathers and Fur: August 2010
http://feathersandfur.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Fly Fishing, Fly Tying, and Favorite Places. "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19. Sunday, August 29, 2010. Tracy and I did a little night fishing and caught a few small trout. Saturday found us in the diversion channel in the Second Honeymoon where we found these reds and a flounder. As the wedding was rapidly approaching we headed to Kansas where Regan took Matt and I to the Marshall family fishing hole. Everyone caught fish but me! Snapping turtle seen on the road to Palacios.

Feathers and Fur: January 2011
http://feathersandfur.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Fly Fishing, Fly Tying, and Favorite Places. "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19. Friday, January 28, 2011. Bringing Home The Bacon. I love it when Tracy catches fish - especially keeper fish. I do however also like it when we both catch fish. Thankfully, at least one of us caught something we could keep the first two trips out this year. We caught several small fish including some flounder which are always a treat. Tracy caught the only keeper trout which made a nice supper.

Feathers and Fur: Priceless
http://feathersandfur.blogspot.com/2011/04/priceless.html
Fly Fishing, Fly Tying, and Favorite Places. "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19. Sunday, April 03, 2011. Every fishing trip needs a good fish story. Although some fishermen are accused of stretching the truth or exagerrating to senesationalize their tale, most of the time the what we experience on a typical outing needs no embelishment. My weapon of choice. Well to make a long story short I got spooled! Whatever I hooked never slowed down, changed direction, or looked back....

Feathers and Fur: Spooled then Schooled

Fly Fishing, Fly Tying, and Favorite Places. "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19. Monday, April 11, 2011. The wind has been brutal during the week so we got an early start. The bait shops all had the same story - "No live shrimp" so we resorted to using soft plastics, topwaters and Gulp. The sun was just peeking over the beach road as we crossed the ICW on the way out the Diversion Channel to the Redfish Hole. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Maximiz...

Feathers and Fur: October 2010
http://feathersandfur.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Fly Fishing, Fly Tying, and Favorite Places. "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19. Saturday, October 09, 2010. There was a fishing tournament this weekend on our home waters. The Texas Three Some. Benefits an after school program for children in Matagorda. The winners must have the heaviest stringer of one trout, one red, and one flounder. There are also cash prizes for the heaviest of each type of fish. We are not "Tournament People" - just a couple of empty- nesters. Style bell...

Feathers and Fur: February 2010

Fly Fishing, Fly Tying, and Favorite Places. "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19. Saturday, February 27, 2010. Springtime in the Marsh. Looks like the "fast" is past. I haven't caught a fish in the marsh all winter but now that spring has sprung my luck may have turned. The water level was as low as I have seen it when I launched after lunch. Thursday, February 04, 2010. Tracy and I had plans to attend Bible study with the Mid Valley Church of Christ. Just to fish for 40 minutes...

Feathers and Fur: April 2010

Fly Fishing, Fly Tying, and Favorite Places. "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19. Saturday, April 03, 2010. I may have to give up being the guide. The river was fresh again this weekend even though there was no rain. We heard that the rice farmers upstream were flushing out their fields and deduced that that was the likely cause. This was the spot of the tragic loss. On the way out we saw another fisherman parked in the same spot. (click to enlarge). Here is a closer shot. H...

Feathers and Fur: March 2010
http://feathersandfur.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Fly Fishing, Fly Tying, and Favorite Places. "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19. Saturday, March 27, 2010. It's Saturday and the riverside rampage continues. We have caught a lot of different kinds of fish on the bank of the Colorado. Drum, redfish, trout, and snapper - ladyfish, eels, sharks, and jacks were all caught in the past year. There was still one fish that had not yet made the list. Tracy was still catching the reds. The "Red killer" continued her run on the reds.

Fly Fishing, Fly Tying, and Favorite Places. "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. This week's fishing was a little unconventional. I was able to work out a mid-week day off so we headed to PPRV on Tuesday evening. We didn't see many other fisherman but this little guy was sharing the shoreline of the Diversion Channel with us. Tracy caught this multi spot red at our old spot near the nuclear plant. Sunday, February 20, 2011. His and Her Flounder.
