Withdrawal

So it's been a bit since I went fishing. My wife started her new job this week, and that means that the morning shift with Henson falls to me. It's awesome because I love spending time with my son. The only thing is my early morning fishing expeditions are pretty much shot except on school holidays and weekends, and I generally need to work those days. 

I've been practicing my fly casting in between appointments at the shop and I think I'm improving. I definitely want to get some time on the river soon. I've never landed a fish on a fly rod before and I'm excited to give it a try. 

Regardless, new posts soon, I promise. Sorry for the lack of updates, but I assure you it's for a good reason. 

Cedar Lake

Went out with my father in law, Tim, on his beautiful boat that he made himself. Water was low at Cedar Lake in Chester, CT, so launching the boat through the tangle of weeds at the boat ramp was tricky, but Tim got us through. Tim got a nice largemouth on a white spinnerbait while trolling the area around the camp, which was the only thing we got in the boat all day. I missed some hook sets on a Booyah Pad Crasher and a Savage Gear Line Thru Trout.

Regardless, nice fish Tim! And thanks for taking me out on the boat!

Fuck Yes Fly Fishing!

I'm getting more and more stoked on the idea of fly fishing these days. I've been practicing my casts and am looking forward to getting out on the water soon. Stay tuned to see how bad I fuck up!
