Thoughts

It has been one long, long summer.  It has been absolutely fantastic and dreadful at the same time.  

I would like to say the reason for such few post this last year has been from fishing too much but that is not the case.

On June 13th my wife and I went in to just see the specialist and get an ultrasound done since there were some concerns with the pregnancy.   Long story short my son Logan was born at 8 30 that night.  He was 2 pounds.  His due date was August 10th.  So he has been in the NICU since then.  Thankfully he seems to be perfectly healthy and just some minor and normal setbacks have kept him there....  Hopefully soon I will be able to bring my son home.

I did squeeze in a little time to WI last week with a friend and caught a great rainbow along with some awesome hopper caught fish.  And with a training day and trout school and a wedding September is looking up.

Logan Paul Hansen

Friday was a little crazy.  Went to see a specialist with my pregnant wife Friday morning.  And at 8:14 pm my son was born.   Yep Logan was born on the only Friday the 13th this year and on a full honey moon to boot.  He'll be in the NICU for a while but he is doing good.

I met this guy a few years back in Missoula.  My good buddy, Hunter, worked with him on the RA Beattie film Off the the Grid.  He is now working with Montana Fly Fishing Magazine  and making his own short films which I must say are bad ass.  Check out his stuff on vimeo at https://vimeo.com/traysermedia.  Happy to call this guy a friend.

I particularly like  Solo Mission
