To say fly fiishing has been slow so far this year is an understatement. The unusual wet spring had most all of my regular streams out of their banks. The weather was so bad that I had to cancel one or two of my spring trips. Add to that a couple of family medical events and I found more time spent at home than out fishing. Hopefully that will change in the near future but unitl my knee mends, I'll still be taking it kind of easy. Moral of the story...growing old sucks!

Then too, since I’m always on the hunt for new fly fishing partners, I think I found one. He’s my grandson and while he’s only four, he shows enthusiasm, drive and interest. I hope I’m still around to enjoy time with him on the stream when he matures. Until that happens I'll continue to search for others who share my passion for the sport and can spend some valuable time on the stream.
