I Lied

Maybe that Mayfly on the gas pump stayed stuck in my head, because Nathaniel and I did end up slipping out to our favorite pond yesterday afternoon -- and I even used my fly rod. We didn't get much time - maybe 15 or 20 minutes - before an pop-up summer storm pushed us off the pond. Still, that was long enough for me to catch a couple of bass and miss a couple of bluegill on a Sneaky Pete and for Nathaniel to land a nice one 0n a YUM Dinger. Quick but fun afternoon outing.

If I Was a Trout


If I was a trout, the Mayfly on the gas pump sure would have made me hungry. Instead it just made me want to go trout fishing! For today -- and maybe all week -- writing fish stories will have to do. This time next week, though, I'll be packing my duffel for Alaska!
