My, keeping a blog can fall behind quite easily…..
Here’s a quick look at the past month to try and get us caught up to present date.
Our Spey clinic went fabulous!  Instructor Aaron Goodis and myself were blessed with some truly awesome students who made us each proud as they departed……

Day one’s group paying close attention […]

[7 May 2009 | Comments Off on A Shout Out! | ]

It wouldn’t be right of me to have a blog for fly gals, and not give a shout out to some true fly gals!

Now you know while I was in Calgary I couldn’t let the Bow River rest without ripping on the mouths of a few trout!

[25 Apr 2009 | Comments Off on Bass Pro Shops- A New Outlook…. | ]

I remember the first time I ever stepped foot into a Bass Pro Shops store.
Between my initial awe, shock and complete overwhelming nausea, I didn’t know whether to turn left, right or simply around and out the doors.

I was a part-time worker at a small fly shop close to my hometown (Reaction Fly and […]

Wow.  The “Girls just wanna have fun” song is repeating itself inside of my head.  The worst part, is that it’s singing in my head with the same scratchy nasal voice of Ms. Lauper and it’s causing me to sing along with it.

I’m allowing myself ten minutes to remove my tongue from between my teeth and say a little something that has entertained my thoughts for the past six years.
Assumption and I go way back.  Way, way back.
High maintenance, made-up, prissy, fake….

[1 Apr 2009 | Comments Off on An Introduction….. | ]

“A what!?  What’s a blog?”  Man, I felt old having to ask my little sister for the definition.
I always figured I’d stay far, far away from keeping a “blog”.
An online diary filled with updates about my scattered life and sometimes chaotic days on the water….  Hell, it even sounded like a messy word; like some […]
