Missing Rainer

Last night was the send off party for my great friend, BC. He and his girl friend are planning to do something like this

summer-2013-flier

I will miss them both. This morning I could only think back to my travels of last summer. There are things I miss out there, I hope BC will pour a sip of Rainer out for me in some remote fish water.

Tourist

You really don’t care that I’ve been away from my fly fishing life the past few days. Sorry, I became a tourist and did touristy things.

My girlfriend and I took advantage of this resource and set off to see if we could locate the herd.

How Small A Trout

Maybe your stature as a fly fisherman isn't determined by how big a trout you can catch, but by how small a trout you can catch without being disappointed. -- John Gierach
