Dedicated to the relentless pursuit of fish on the fly. Welcome to the obsession, I hope you enjoy the pics and ramblings. If you like what you see (or really don't), feel free to drop me an email at fishindog.net@gmail.com. And when you're done, get your waders on and get out there, cause the only way to catch 'em is with your bug in the water.

Fishin with Guy




Another round on the Snake on monday coupled with a day on the ice today produced a few happy campers. Mark and I were joined by a friend's dad who's visiting from Nebraska and showed him how to catch trout in January. He also learned how to catch whitefish. Mark gave up his whitey king title for the day and landed the only few trout of the day, a nice cutty early on and a skinny mac just before we called it for the day. We hooked a bunch of cuts but it seems they figured out how to take themselves off, much to our disappointment. I really don't know how but we lost a good number of them. Quote of the day went to Guy, who proclaimed "this is funner 'n shit!" He's never been fly fishing in January before.
Today Guy and I headed out to Willow Lake having no idea what we were doing. With a bunch of borrowed ice gear including a rather finicky auger we made our way a few hundred yards offshore and set up shop. Somehow I landed a decent mack within a few minutes and Guy followed shortly thereafter. We didn't do half bad for a couple of clueless guys arbitrarily drilling holes and dropping lines down. Guy was just tickled pink fighing macks through the ice and I hate to admit it, but I'm already thinking of another outing...
