Under the Bridge

I have a thing for watching trout. Especially big trout, in little spring creeks.

 Click here to see some big Coulee Country trout doing their thing.

Does it get any better than this? 

                                      

Weston's new mouse pattern.

I still have to think about what to call this guy. It passed its first test last week on some nighttime browns in the Driftless and I plan to give it another workout soon.

First video edit...shot with iPhones and plenty of beer. We had a blast tromping around this little gem of a spring creek. Next outing we plan on giving the mice a try on this little stream after hours.

Midnight Mice

Hoping this thing will get lit up in the Driftless tomorrow night...

Wulffs by Lee

These two vintage Wulffs were tied by the creator himself. They were given to me the summer before I went to college as a gift by my good friend and fly fishing mentor Brad Bohen. I remember him saying, as I opened the small cardboard box that they were in, "You'll always have these in your back pocket now, for when you need a little lift. Not every fly fisherman can say that."

I was one of many generous gifts, both material and otherwise, that Brad has given me throughout the years.
My plan is to get a fancy little display case to house them in now.
