2012 MAIDEN VOYAGE

Took the boat out a few weeks ago down a river I plan to guide on some this summer.  Water temps were a little low for the bass but the water looks great with lots of structure.  There were also plenty of carp up on some of the flooded areas but damn were they spooky and the vegetation was too thick for the flies I had with me but it was fun none the less.  Saw plenty of sandhills and waterfowl as well.

F3T IN MILWAUKEE WEDNESDAY NIGHT!!!!!!

Just so you all are aware F3T is being hosted by The Fly Fishers at the Sprecher Brewery on Wednesday the 18th.  Go to the fly shop and buy tickets ASAP!  There will be great prizes given away that night..... including a stay at The Mayfly Lodge with (that's with!) a day of trout fishing with yours truly!
