it seems that lately home renovation projects have really taken a front seat to fishing during the daytime. I may not have a beautiful photo of that 14 inch brook trout I've been chasing all summer... but I have beautiful birch flooring now and a happy wife. (sometimes?)
the other day I called in sick to few different responsibilities I had and decided to go ahead and fish a local stream with a friend. extremely overgrown and extremely hot, the trip turned up nothing but sunfish and fall fish. it did still feel good to get out of the house though. . sometimes even though I don't catch any brookies, I'll find something to take a picture of.
Nice photos. Man I'd rather have a hot summer than a warm winter. Now show us a shot of that birch flooring--sounds nice.
ReplyDeleteI guess part of being a New Englander is complaining about the weather 12 months in a year. I love the snow until it snows, and I'm always looking forward to the summer until I'm stuck inside worshipping my AC
DeleteI have been less than thrilled with the recent weather. I want to do some smallie fishing in the housy next week but the Bass and Blue bite has been awesome.
ReplyDeletethe bite sure has been on the last few nights. and that cold breeze off the ocean is priceless
DeleteNice happenings there.
ReplyDeleteSmall streams need a good influx of rain. The sunnies are great sport on the fly, and are true photo quality.
yeah they're colorful little pains in the butt. LoL. I know somewhere underneath their cloud cover there's some trout.
DeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! The green beetle has a cousin here in Sweden called something like "sand runner". They are very beautiful. I did a tour to a favorite hot spot a couple of weeks ago and ended up with 130 photos in a few hours but my buddy caught the small graylings that couldn't get hooked on my fly. He used some home made brew of the Klinkhamemer. I'll get some of the pictures posted soon I hope,
Kind greetings,
Mats Olsson
hey Mats,
ReplyDeletedude that beetle was weird, it was gleaming so bright in the sun.
Me and my friend went out mid-day, as time allowed. (wife) so finding shade to sit down with a cold beer was just as tough as the fishin. oh well, bass later
Great pics. I love that old reel I have one very similar!
ReplyDeleteI can't stop using it. It works perfect! Its a Union Sunnybrook. I Also have one in a nickel finish. Lots of companies made similar models, but I've got a softspot for Ct. made stuff. Thanks for commenting.
ReplyDeleteThat's a friggin nice striped bass. Nice photos as well. I'm ready for fall.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kevin, I'm ready too. Fall is my favorite. Bonfires, hard cider, and fall brookies.. can't wait
