1/16/16 Indiana Winter Browns

Well, the weather has finally taken a turn for the worst and my kayak fishing season may have finally come to an end. It was a good run and I'm glad that it lasted a little longer than usual. With the weather just approaching 30 degrees on Saturday, I was contemplating not fishing at all and just staying home. Boy am I glad that I talked myself out of staying home! I decided to head north and fish a small river for Brown Trout. The weather was cold but manageable and the fish were absolutely on fire! There is nothing quite like watching a trout come from out of nowhere to wallop a lure! I only fished for about 3 hours total and landed 6 Browns, had 3 small fish on that I let get off, and had chances at many more fish that never hooked up. I didn't get a lot of great pictures but I caught some very nice fish. I got one fish that measured at 17 inches and one just smaller around 16 inches. The shots in the net do not do these fish justice. The two larger fish were both big and beautiful. They are a blast to catch on light tackle. I guess that the moral of the story is: If you have the chance to go fishing, you'd better go. You can't catch fish sitting on the couch.

2016 Three Rivers Fly Fishing & Tying Show

Here is the flyer for the Three Rivers Fly Fishers Fly Fishing & Fly Tying Show. Last years inaugural event was fantastic. We had a lot of great vendors, speakers, fly tyers, prizes, and raffles. If you missed it last year mark your calendar now!

1/2/15 & 1/3/15 Weekend Trout Extravaganza!

I fished both Saturday and Sunday over the past weekend. Both days were relatively cold with highs in the low to mid 30's. Besides the temperature though, the days felt very different. Saturday was bright and sunny and surprisingly bearable. Sunday was mostly cloudy with high winds and snow flurries. By the end of both days, my kayak was more ice than plastic. Most of my gear was frozen to the point were I had a hard time reeling in line, couldn't hardly operate my camera, and couldn't get my paddle apart because it was frozen together! Both days were pretty productive and the trout were pretty willing to play. I caught quite a few fish and had a ton more that either never got hooked well or didn't make it to the boat due to some high-flying antics. On Saturday I landed a total of 4 Rainbows in just over two hours of fishing. and on Sunday I got 8 Rainbows and 1 Brown in a little under 4 hours. These two trips bring my total trout count to 84 since my first trip on 10/18. With the cold weather, my days on the water are looking more and more numbered. I've got more good video to show but for now, I'll let the pictures do the talking.
