Quote Of The Week...

"Honey...What would you like for dinner when you get home..."

-Amy gets quote of the week, as she made tremendous meals for TMT all week...


We love you babe...Here's to TMT fattening for the winter steelhead season!

Full Article from Detroit Free Press

Steelhead Flies

I just stopped in at Chagrin River Outfitters too catch up with Dan who I haven't seen in a while...

Make sure to check out their reports/blogs in the coming weeks for weekly fly patterns and updates on the run's here in NE Ohio...

This Week's Pattern:

High Water Worm

Too Good For Words..

Found on MOLDYCHUM, I can't help but be embarrassed by our local news reporters...

One More...

THIS ARTICLE (again out of Seattle), covers the subject of best fly fishing destinations. While Forbes List (can be found in the article) listed off some rather nice stretches of water, the author is correct in assuming that 10 places just isn't enough...and never mind the "just trout" thing...

Aside from the article, it's a question I've never thought much about. I'm not a huge traveler with a fly rod since I'm still "green" of sorts, but it begs the question...what are your top 10 fly fishing destinations and why?

I'm gonna spend some time over the week making my list...and we'd love to hear your top ten list. E-mails work, or you can just reply to the post...

Specifics of course aren't needed...but just a feeler of the places we all call paradise...

Update on my list coming this week...

Major League Fly Fishing...

"Wakamatsu's big catch also got the attention of players in the clubhouse.

Ken Griffey Jr. wisecracked to reporters that they should ask Wakamatsu about the fish Griffey said the manager caught at Pike Place Market.

'I think I saw the price tag on it,' Griffey said."

Pretty cool article from a Seattle Paper...LINK HERE

Quote of the Week...LATE AGAIN

"Fly-fishers are usually brain-workers in society. Along the banks of purling streams, beneath the shadows of umbrageous trees, or in the secluded nooks of charming lakes, they have ever been found, drinking deep of the invigorating forces of nature - giving rest and tone to over-taxed brains and wearied nerves - while gracefully wielding the supple rod, the invisible leader, and the fairy-like fly."

~by James A. Hensall, MD, 1855~


With Amy getting home and settled...cough cough...over the last few days, I've been a bit...tied up...with other things...

So here's to more blogging and fly tying this week...possibly a fishing trip mixed in for good measure...

MICHIGAN IS 11 DAYS AWAY!!!
