Well the groundhog got this one right, six weeks more of Winter. The past few February's have been mild but not this one. Another snow storm hit Virginia a couple days ago followed up with some freezing rain. Looking pretty snotty over the next 5 days so maybe doing a lot of fly tying. Two [...]
Its the last day of the craziest year likely all of us have ever experienced. I really have nothing to complain about other than I didn't get to travel to Brazil and Belize. This has been my busiest year guiding, also one of the wettest. The Fall was a struggle cancelling and rescheduling do to [...]
October is just about done and wow it was a busy one. The Fall bite for smallmouth bass was very good the past two weeks. High fish numbers brought to the net and some very healthy fat bellied specimens. Game Changers and Tequeelys did the best on exciting the smallmouth. One bass upchucked a 6 [...]
I apologize it has been a while since I have posted. 2020 has been a crazy year as you all know and I'm ready for it to end. The amazing thing is how busy I have been so won't complain about that. I'm never in a hurry for the temperatures to change when Fall approaches [...]
Unless you have been in a coma or under a rock the past month you know how crazy our world has gotten with the corona virus. Its business as usual here in Central Virginia though, sure theres no bread at the grocery store but we do have toilet paper! Hopefully it will not get worse [...]
Finally, seven days away from Daylight Savings Time and 20 days from the official start of Spring. If you can't tell, I'm excited. I'll be finishing up with the toughest Winter I have had chasing musky with a fly rod with clients in the next two weeks. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the hunt [...]
Its been a wet mess the past week. I have had to cancel and reschedule musky trips this past week and weekend. Waters are starting to recede, in fact we have perfect streamer fishing conditions for trout on the Jackson or Smith rivers this coming week. Musky waters should be back a good fishing level [...]
With each passing days we get closer to Spring. It hasn't been a cold Winter but it has been a wet one. Some areas in the South the past two days received 4 plus inches of rain. A lot of the South is flooding so please be safe out there. Here in Virginia it wasn't [...]
Old man Winter hasn't been to harsh so far. Since the new year has arrived its been rather pleasant here in central Virginia. Some beautiful weather, a little cold weather, and some wet weather, but I have seen way worse in my 42 years. I'll take the inconsistent weather over just straight cold any day. [...]
Its been almost a month since my last blog post. I have been mainly spending time with my wife and son as much as possible. 2019 was a great year guiding and my best to date, and with a lot of time spent away from home March- November, Winter gives me the opportunity to catch [...]
