I’ll be getting my carp thing on Saturday and Monday I will be going after some spring run steelhead up in Michigan. But if the carp fishing is really good I may have to scrap the steelhead trip.
Just finished putting the rub on 2 very attractive butts, they should be ready to come out of the smoker when we get home from the river tomorrow.
Andy,
Wading on Saturday might use the kayak Sunday. We won’t hit the river Saturday till after 12:00 I have to open the shop for a while. The Orvis hatch should be dying off by then and the others will be heading back to camp grounds.The wife just called and said she plans to leave town after school instead of tomorrow. I’ll be heading to the highway pond with some poppers right after I kiss my babies good-bye.
I got gas this morning $4.19 is it worse anywhere else.

I agree Zach, this is a terrible weekend for fishing, but our wiper run doesn’t last long, so I may brave the combat fishing conditions.
Preschool teacher called me about 12:00 to say my 4 year old had a little accident (some farts can’t be trusted) and could I bring in a change of clothes. When I got there those big blue eyes looked up at me and said daddy can I go home with you. The gear was already in the car so we stopped at a small pond, caught 3 bass and a very prego blue gill. He’s asleep on the couch, I guess we got the weekend off to a great start.
Hopefully I have the picture posted right this time.

Youngest boy is coming in from SF with his wife Saturday night, bringing along a couple of pork shoulders he smoked himself in his Big Green Egg.
On Sunday we go to the Jersey shore for a BBQ at the oldest boy’s house.
All next week the youngest boy and I fish in the poconos while the wives do whatever wives do when the husbands go fishing.

Fly fishing.
Yes indeed, it truly is a good time to be alive!Saturday was a good day on the river, a little wind, clear water and no one else around. Only had one canoe and one kayak drift by.
My weekend report is a little delayed, had to put a new hard drive in the laptop today. Saturday was a bust for carp but got a few white bass, hit a local pond at dusk (after loading the smoker) and couldn’t keep the smaller large mouth off the poppers.
Sunday we tried some spots on the Huron, lots of feisty rock bass. Finally, called Andy and he hooked us up with a good smallmouth spot, 5 brief encounters and 1 in the net.Thanks for the help Andy I’m planning on going back in 2 weeks, I’ll call you to see if you can make it.
Mike, the carp thing is harder than I expected, I could see them follow the fly then just slide off, (angler error) very frustrating.

Mark,
Yeah that is just one of the joys of going after carp with the fly. Just stick with it and you will get one.

My new mantra!
Zach, we will need shirts again. Kevin, can you make the logo?
Dusty,
I of course didn’t make that up but it is one of the many quips that I have learned over the years spending time with a lot of World War II guys, some of the really funny stuff would not be allowed here. It would be interesting to see what the logo would look like. If your looking for T-shirt slogans I have a few that I have considered my self.
