Day 3...really

Another 0-fer on the Boise. EW and I moved down river to try and improve our luck. Nada! It has to be the weather, yeah thats it.

Fly Fishing Film Tour

I went to the Fly fishing Film tour last night and it was awesome! I have included the link so that you will be able to view the snippets of the films.

Day 3..., Not so fast!

I tried going to Arrowrock Res with the puppy to try some fishing today. Of course it did not occur to me that it would be frozen over! I do not think I had ever been up there when it was frozen. I ended up walking the dog for a few hours then came home. One real neat thing that is happening up there is the sound that the ice is making. It sounds like moaning as the ice is moving against itself. Every once in awhile you would hear a large snap as the ice would break. The ice had to be pretty thick as I say a man and his daughter play hockey on the ice. They were staying real close to shore though. Below the dam the Ice build up was pretty cool as well. I was also surprised by how many people were up there just tooling around.

This one time I caught a marlin

Kona Coast - April 1996 - 8:30 a.m.

415 pound blue marlin - 11 feet long

Caught in 45 minutes on an artificial lure

Boat - Abracadabra

Captain - Butch Losasso

Now you can see it.

Day 2 - 48 to go!

EW and I hit the water again today. Fantastic weather but the fish where not there again. I went with the fly rod today. Started with Glo bug then went with a March Brown streamer. No luck on either of these so I switched to a Hare's ear and had equally no luck. I think it is time to move locations. There are no fish directly behind Quarry B! Time to start wearing the rubber pants and get serious.

Cascade Ice Fishing

Josh warren sent me these pictures of some friends of his Ice fishing on Lake Cascade. I need to get up there on of these weekends.

Day 1, 49 to go!

EW and I fished the Boise River behind Quarry this afternoon. Weather was very nice! No fish though. I did manage to break my first rod of the year. Who Hoo! Recommendation to anyone who will listen, do not buy Repala rods. I have owned three and I have broken three. I have never broken any other rod in my life.

Who is going to participate?

I am encouraging everyone to add a quick blurb about themselves and a picture of them fishing for posterity sake. If you do not want to that is OK. I will start with my picture. This is last year in Hell's Canyon. My first Steelhead!

My new Blog

I am starting this post to keep track of my fishing days this year. My goal is to spend 50 days fishing. I will track everyday that I am on the water and the results of my efforts. Hopefully there will be some success stories and I will provide pictures.
