Fly Fishing with Grandkids


Karen and I have 5 grandsons (no granddaughters yet). We love spending time outside with them. Luckily my grandkids love being outside. Well taking them fly fishing, especially at a young age, is all about small doses and lots of distraction. The kids love reeling in the fish and feeling the pull as they try and put their quarry in the net. Always make the fly fishing about them. My son-in -law, Alan, and I hooked the fish and then let the grandkids attempt to land their trout! It quickly is apparent when it is time to put the rods away and do something else. Going for a walk or a hike is a great way to keep the kids going, even after they are finished with fishing. Make the day all about them, it will pay off in dividends in the long run!

Snow Squalls Did Not Slow Us Down


The ice is starting to come off some of our pot hole lakes. Karen and I have been patiently waiting to get back at it!. We did find some open water around a lot of ice. We definitely had to bundle up. The snow squalls were sending several volleys of heavy snow at us. We were warm and comfortable and we even caught a few fish!
