Same here Brian. It's going to take a lot of healing. I'll probably check out the small mouth in the New and Catawba rivers.

Thought I’d introduce myself. I’m Amanda and I live offgrid in a tiny dry cabin in interior AK with 6 retired sled dogs and my spouse. I’m an empty nester with my first new grand baby and photography is my passion. Feel free to say hi, and maybe share a photo you’ve taken that you love. ☺️

A short, but wide waterfall on a cloudy winter day. Two fallen trees are bridging between the top of the fall and the gravel beach below the fall.

While it’s a Christmas Day, it is Wednesday, so, I visited a waterfall with my family 😊

Kids love bouncing on these logs πŸ˜‰
Although cold, quite a few people walking along the creek 😊

On Fly-fishing Etiquette Common sense rules to make sure everyone has a good time on the water.

On Fly-fishing Etiquette: Common sense rules to make sure everyone has a good time on the water. β€œAssume another angler is working from downstream up. No matter how the person is fishing, you can figure that most good anglers will be moving upstream.”

This is the antithetical post to what I posted this morning.

There goes the sun.

Here comes the moon.

I had let the beagles run rabbits for 2 hours. And I had just caught them and clipped on their leads as the sun was setting.

Running rabbits with Beagles is great fun! Growing up, we always had a pack. Thanks for the memories!

#flyfishing, red ant variant

#flyfishing, red ant variant

This was the best performing fly in September when in Bozeman.

The hopper-dropper setup was getting no love and switched to this red ant variant on day two. #flyfishing

Angling Resolutions For a Good Year on the Water

To me, David Coggins is the next gen feel-good voice we need in this day and age. Touches of Gierach, Harrison, and McGuane, all wrapped in waxed canvas and just the right amount of tweed.

That's cool. He's really a free lance outdoor writer that started compiling books based on his fishing life.

Big Two-Hearted River by Ernest Hemingway is an excellent short story if you're in a literary mode.
