Just got back from our annual flyfishing for trout trip in the Driftless area in Wisconsin. To say the least, the weather was interesting. We arrived on a Friday and watched it snow a few inches on Saturday, but that didn't stop our group of five from enjoying mother nature's trout streams there.

One of my goals was to use the bamboo flyrod that I refinished that belonged to my grandfather who passed in 1963. I took it to a section of a stream that had some nice long riffles that held lots of wild brown trout. I was using a fly that sinks and was simulating an insect that lives in that section of the river. I kept my video camera recording in the hope that I would capture the action of hooking and playing the first trout landed on the flyrod. Unfortunately, I lost quite a few nice trout but eventually I landed one.

Here's a short video showing the river and the refinished flyrod;



Here's a video of the first (small) trout I landed;



The next day, we fished a different river and I was using my favorite graphite flyrod and landed a nice brown trout;





Here's a picture of the brown. Luckily, one of my buddies was there to take the pic...

Thanks Blak bart, I wish I had landed the first trout that I hooked on the flyrod but that's fishing! Really enjoy this post and seeing what you and everyone else catch!

Well I took the family out for my wedding anniversary ( cinco de mayo so I cant forget). It was windy so we hit the back country. We caught some mangrove snapper for dinner, and I battled a stingray......it was a battle but I finally got him flipped over !


It was some great family time on the boat and a memorable anniversary for me.

Looks like another great day on the water! Wondered how you guys release a ray! Congrats on your anniversary!

Sorry Bart, I wasn't thinking clearly yet. Happy belated anniversary to you and your wife!

Go get 'em, Chris! I haven't been carp fishing in ages. Just a box of Wheaties was our bait. Great fighting fish!

If he tells you, then it won't be a secret.

Cream corn,Old fashion oats,Strawberry jello..takes a few times to get the consistency just right. Make a patty use a #1 Octopus with sweet corn kernels,make another patty placed on top and SQUEEZE the crap out of it.

I'll post pics in a bit gotta make more bait for later today.

GOD Bless
