Reading Material

For my birthday last week, my wife got me a river guide to fishing Oregon. I haven't had a chance to really study it. I can tell you that it will be helpful to someone like me, who has just recently transplanted to the Oregon area.

Okay, I'm still not quite moved yet. In five days from now, the truck will be loaded and we will be making the trip. I'll fly back to California a couple of days after that to clean up the house for the new owners and drive my car north. After a few more days of unpacking the most important items, I'm going to plead for my wife to let me go fishing. If you ask me, I deserve it after all of this packing.

Can't believe we are almost done with all of this. The move has been in the making for more than a year now. The time has almost arrived. I'm excited to be in a new house. I'm also excited that I'll have a designated fly-tying area set aside. I can go there and crank out a fly without having to clean up each time or worry about one of the cats getting themselves into trouble.

I'm already trying to figure out when and where I'll go fishing first. I'll probably turn to my new book for help. I've had a couple of offers from people that live in the area to go fishing. I'll probably be taking them up on it. There is no better way to learn the water than from someone else. If any Washington or Oregon readers happen to see this and want to hook up... I promise, I'm a nice guy and will keep locations to myself.

I know this blog has been a complete drag. Let's hope it starts to get exciting shortly!

Look up dan anthon out of the fly fisher's place in sisters. He's a heck of a guide and a great dude.
