It's hard to predict how the fishing season will go this year. The last gasp of winter and the hint of Spring gives me intense optimism. Spent a lot of time at the vise this winter and I have a few new patterns to try. Already have reservaions made to hit my favorite haunts but I'll just have to wait for a few weeks and see how the weather and water turn out. Still believe the same old saying:

Growing old sucks!

I’m always on the hunt for new fly fishing partners andI 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.
