Warm Water Edition

Once again I’m sitting in the Denver International Airport waiting for my connecting flight. Well, at least now I have fish story to exaggerate about. For the first time in as long as I can remember North Dakota was green in April! Jordon and I took advantage of all the sunshine by making some exploratory trips to relatively unknown waters. We rowed my rickety duck boat around a non-motorized marsh in search of toothy pike, threw dry flies at oversized minnows, and we even managed to land a trophy smallmouth or two! It was pretty entertaining jumping around from steel leaders to 4x then back to heavy leaders and big poppers. The fish kept us on our toes!

It’s Been Awhile Since the 7wt. Has Had a Bend Like That

You Don’t Wanna Stick Your Finger In There

A Great Ending To A Beautiful Day

Almost Fooled Me Into Thinking I Was In Montana

My First Smallie Ever On A Fly Rod, I’m Hooked

They Were Hungry And Willing

I had a great time and made some memories that will last a lifetime. Have a great Monday!
