high time

I got off my lazy ass and clean up the shoppe and get this ball rolling again

tomorrow I'll post before and after shots of the shoppe

it's a fuggin' mess

fallout

what a great shot of brother mike at the bench

despite the poor focus

it has dynamic latency

aaah tenkara-belle

such fuckused noble pursuit

searching native dinks

a shoutout to another brother

there's a story there somewhere 

and an agenda 

I just don't know it

mess

the dining room table

poor photos of fine rods

the easy way gets harder all the time

two little water sunbathing in a garden

same rod resting on downfallen timber

blooded

the easy way found a new home and was quickly blooded w/ a lovely az brookie

today we fished (again)

whoa nellie!  private water?

nope

sure looks like it

whoa nellie again

irony?  perhaps

I remember this deadly fire

the three trees right of the sign aren't doing well and should probably be replaced soon

fuck me to tears

my first ever flyrod casualty

fortunately it can be fixed

I know just the guy for the job

just another bluebird day on the rim

too little water (6'8" 2 wt degere taper)

twas warm - I had to remove a layer

the hike in

looks like a tree fell over the trail

scary scenario?  yes

dumbass creek

beautiful water nice clarity

I did say it was a bluebird day

the rim is beautiful

blooded the easy way (6'8" 3 wt thomas taper)

josh said while casting, "whoa, it's like a slingshot, just fires the line"

yup

thought I missed the fish but I see his back there

nice rainbow

the hike out

filler

I have done very little rod work of late

have a look inside my home

left we have the fe thomas 6'8" 3wt awaiting second dip

and dickerson 7012 awaiting glue

patiently waiting for the weather to cooperate

right is the degere ice cream parlor hole special 6'8" 2wt

which has been fished a handful of times

the easy way

the weather left me an open window before the sky split open

so this rod took a first dip
