Long Time No Post

I've been quite busy the last few weeks, I just wanted to stop in and say that I'm still alive. I've basically had no time to fish or tie any flies. Everyday life has gotten in the way. I hope to make a few more posts in the next week or so.

Early Christmas

My inlaws came to visit a week or two ago and we exchanged gifts early. I never know what to ask for when this time of year comes around, but this time, I made a wish list on a certain outdoors website that has fly tying material.

That turned out to be a good thing, I ended up with a bunch of assorted hooks (much needed), some tinsel, partridge for hackle, a knot tier that I can't seem to figure out how to use, and some tippet material.

Can't wait to try em out. Speaking of fly tying, I realize I'm behind with my Fly of the Week. Sorry about that. I plan to get back on it soon. Between work and the new baby, it has been a little difficult to find time to do much tying!

A slow down in fly fishing trips.

I had hope that I would get a chance to fish the Lower Stanislaus before the closure on October 31st. It just wasn't in the cards. Work has been busier than expected and my usual weekday trips aren't possible and weekends are currently too busy with everything I couldn't do during the week.

Cherry Creek - August 14th, 2007

When this current project ends, my wife and I are expecting a baby, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to get out to a river. Needless to say, actual fly fishing will be temporarily set aside. I'll still continue with posts as I can always find time to tie flies or write about something other than river trips.

Basically, it comes down to the near future being more fly tying and technique posts rather than actual trip reports.
