Photos: Arkansas cont./Winter fishing


A half of a roll of film remained in my camera after our spring Ozark trip, and the following photos are the result. Below the Arkansas photos are some images of winter/spring fishing this year with some of my Eau Claire pals. 



The view from Hare Mountain. 

Last breakfast.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.
-Lord Byron



Happy hiking.

 The rest of these photos are from January and February in southeast Minnesota. Their trout season opened January 1st, and I was lucky enough to take advantage of it numerous times. It was a nice way to fill in the gap between fall steelheading and the Wisconsin early season, which opened the first Saturday in March.

About Me

My photo
Weston
My name is Weston Thier. I'm 22 years old and have been poking along at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire for over four years, working on degrees in piano performance and creative writing. I grew up in Bayfield, Wisconsin-Pop. 550 (and shrinking) , which is where I learned to fly fish. The sport found me when I was about 11 years old and I have lived and breathed it ever since. Fly tying is a big part of it for me and I tie for myself and on a commercial basis. I have done some guiding on Wisconsin trout streams and plan to develop into a full-time guide in the western U.S. after moving to Montana in the summer of 2013. Until then, I'll continue to enjoy and fulfill my trout junkie lifestyle in the Midwest.
