A wonderful short film about our nations Wild & Scenic Rivers (well, mostly the ones in Oregon). Just another reason to keep our public lands public.

Blue-Lining and Red Stick Day
This video is a bit older, but it’s appropriate right now as I’m currently working on a presentation for the Red Stick Fly Fishers for their upcoming Red Stick Day Fly Fishing Festival that is taking place Saturday March 3rd at Perkins Road Park. I’m going to be talking about bluelining North Georgia and shed a little light on what is probably the closest wild and native freestone trout water to Louisiana. The event is free so if you’re in the Baton Rouge area and you’ve got any interest at all in fly fishing come check it out.
Late Summer Bassin’
We spent Labor Day weekend up at Lake Rosemound where I had a couple opportunities to get back out on the water in the Kilroy DT and chase some bass.
Saturday I got out just after sunrise, armed with my favorite buzzbait, I headed toward a big flat where I saw some fish holding the last time I was out here paddling Marin around.
It didn’t take long to connect with a little male, who despite being blind in one eye, knew exactly how to slam a buzzbait.
The dink bass topwater action continued all over this flat and another and around the grass edges of the lake.
It was nice to spend a couple of hours catching bass before the sun really began to heat things up.
I made it out again the next evening, but didn’t have the same luck I had the day before. I only connected with one bass and missed three more fish on the same buzzbait I was using the day before. I guess I fell into the “one bait wonder” mold again this weekend, but that’s how I wanted to catch them.
I may not have caught many fish Sunday evening, but I did catch an awesome sunset, which is a fine substitute for a nice fish.
