2.18.12. Winter Steelhead in the California Mountains.

Kimberly wanted to learn a bunch today and dind’t even care if she caught anything. She was inquisitive and focused on becoming a better fly fisherman. She now is.

2.17.12. Biz Meeting

Chuck, Keith and I had a meeting to discuss the future of Wild Waters Fly Fishing. Just your standard business meeting.

I knew that drift was going to stick a fish. I knew it was going to grab at that exact moment. I knew it was going to happen there and then. I set the hook knowing I was right. It was not knowledge or skill it was a brief moment of enlightenment.

1.29.12 Klamath Steelhead Bound

Kim and Selena were determined and gave a good hard effort all day despite the 21 degree morning. We had to scrub every spot for that elusive winter steelhead. Finally, with only two more spots to try, “Set that!” Five fish in a row! Some days she makes you work for it.

1.10.12 Klamath River with Orvis

These guys bleed Orvis green. Wild Waters Fly Fishing Guide Service just became Orvis Endorsed this year. We wanted to show the store managers from San Francisco and San Jose why. The Klamath started slow with the freezing cold morning but by afternoon the bite was on! We boated many fish and plenty of adults [...]

My day off.

I seldom need to catch one. …seldom. I really wanted to catch a fish today and almost hired Chuck or Keith. Instead, I had a great day with my girlfriend and loyal lab.
