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.

Early Season Bass Days

Back blogging again. We had a killer early season for bass this spring. Water levels stayed floatable for the most part, but we did have a few blow out mixed in. It seems that the spawn was good and we didn't have too much high water to blow the beds out. If you are every interested we run smallmouth floats in the spring from late March until mid May. I am going to let the photos tell the rest of the story.
