Just To Clarify a Point

"People who fish for food, and sport be damned, are called pot-fishermen. The more expert ones are called crack pot-fishermen. All other fishermen are called crackpot fishermen. This is confusing."

Ed Zern, 1947

Almost October

It's almost October which means that its almost time for trout in many areas, including the Blue River.

The weather still feels like summer, although a mild summer, still summer.

I have been tying up a few flies, working on my cast, furling up leaders, getting my gear in shape.

So I thought I'd stir the pot, see what's up with Blue River fly anglers?

I enjoyed the sepai tone is some of these shots. The ornate frame is a nice touch.

thank you Robert!

A New Blog

How come this new blog? Plenty going on already right?

Well, mainly I want to document the images of the Blue River. In my opinion that has always been a missing element at the Yahoo group.

I aim to fix that and ask that you each share any photos of the Blue, fishing-related or otherwise, so that they can be posted here. This will be a place to send folks who ask about the lovely river so that they can see for themselves.

Send your photos to me at rrhyne56 - at - gmail dot com (I busted up the address to hopefully avoid the spam robots)
