Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Ouch, My HIp Hurts. And boy let me tell you, he had the swamp ass like you wouldn't believe. I thought I was going to have to pull over it was so bad! After dodging what seemed to be a near case of poisoning by gas we made it to our destination. Being somewhat tired from the past few days, I decided to fish along. I have a high aversion to fishing deep with a fly rod for some reason? N the banks absurdly difficult. Thanks guys, really appreciate it! Me in the water. A little ...

Thursday, July 31, 2008. If you've been following my blog, then you're. Aware of the horrendous death of my favorite rod and the unexpected replacement of it with a new 2wt rod building kit from my wife. Well, it's been over a week and I finally found the time to finish her. Excitement is already building, I'm taking half the day off tomor. Row to fish one of my favorite streams in the park. Even have some items a lot of rod builders would consider crucial: a wrapping stand, a rod. So, how did I do it?

Modern Hillbilly: It's Good To Be King
http://modernhillbilly.blogspot.com/2009/06/its-good-to-be-king.html
Friday, June 12, 2009. It's Good To Be King. I've been listening to Tom Petty's WIldflowers. It's Good to be King. Its good to be king, if just for a while. To be there in velvet, yeah, to give em a smile. Its good to get high, and never come down. Its good to be king of your own little town. Yeah the world would swing if I were king. Can I help it if I still dream time to time. Its good to be king and have your own way. Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day. Yeah, Ill be king when dogs have wings.

Monday, February 23, 2009. To Be, Or Not To Be Friends. Friends piss me off. How do you decide when a friendship is worth continuing putting effort into? When does a friend become an acquaintance? How do you deal with an acquaintance that wants to be a friend, maybe even a best friend, but is not really interested in putting the effort into it? Why do I feel like I'm back in high school? I guess that's better than being in HighSchoolMusical! Links to this post. Sunday, February 22, 2009. My absolutely wo...

Thursday, January 29, 2009. The Harey Moose - My Favorite Nymph. E to share. If you tie it and catch fish on it (which you will! You must pay homage to me with some photos. : ). Hook: mustad 9671 1x or equivalent size 8-20. Thread: tan or gray. Body: rabbit dubbing/ mostly guard hairs. Slip the bead over your hook and push to the eye.

Sunday, August 24, 2008. YOUR'E FIRED. DAMN! Sometimes life seems to get out of hand, at least for me that is. I'm having one of those moments right now and things are getting REALLY out of hand! Seems I pissed of the head ranger on my side of the Park, so I was shitcanned! But like the trooper she is, she just regroups and keeps on rollin. For this, I am eternally grateful. Will I be able to fix this situation before the whole thing folds up like a damn deck of cards? So things I've learned. So I have f...

Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Is It Really Here? The smells of spring are in the air. The very first of our trees are just starting to put out leaves, water and ground temps are on the rise, days are getting longer. Oh how I rejoice at the beginning. Of spring. The end of the dreary doldrums of winter, in with the renewal of life, including my own! The despondency of winter always wears me down. I become lethargic and lazy, not wanting to do much. Other than NOT be cold! Well, I ain't cold now baby! The only ...

Modern Hillbilly: Bows and Browns
http://modernhillbilly.blogspot.com/2009/05/bows-and-browns.html
Monday, May 25, 2009. Small streams that I frequent. Standing on a rock, I was casting to a seam in one of these large holes. Watching the drift, a large bow came up and nosed my caddis, one of the more frustrating things about trout. I made a few more casts. Hoping to beat the odds and get that rainbow to come back up and take the fly or my nymph. To my surprise, on my 4th cast to the same location, I got a perfect. Drift and Mr. Rainbow came up and smacked the crap out of my dry! Not a lot, but he had ...
