The Rollercoaster of Rivers



I call it a rollercoaster for the rise and fall on the river gauges. We haven't had a level flow in almost two months. There is something disheartening about getting super excited about being on the water 2 weeks straight, getting one day in and then it rained again. I have to admit, I may have lost my mind a few times in there. The house almost floated away, had to wear waders to check the mail, tied a lot of flies, drank a few beers, maybe some Jack, but that’s all over now (I hope). We are back in action.





This high and un fishable summer could have been a blessing in disguise. There are times in life when you forget what you have, when you don't realize how much you truly love something, or how much you actually love what you do, until it is taken from you. Not being able to guide for almost 6 weeks, made me realize how much I do love it, it re sparked the flame I felt I was losing.

But enough about the sad mind loosing summer we just had, lets enjoy what we have left and welcome fall with open arms.
