Finishing up a few flies for the ASF dinner, etc.

I just finished up a few flies for the ASF dinner - more bugs, big surprise =P




Hopefully they fetch a decent price at auction!

Ice fishing & tying a few small bugs...

I went ice fishing yesterday with Melissa, Ethan & Brad. It was a great day on the river, lots of beautiful sunshine and we even caught a few fish! I'm not sure how many more trips we're going to get in this winter so we have to make the most each trip to the river.



One annoying thing about fishing down at Renforth though -- the amount of motorized devices & vehicles running constantly ... if it's not a fleet of wheelers & sleds pulling in, revving engines, speeding dangerously it's the generator in every other shack clanging away so people can watch TV while fishing... why not just stay home if you need to watch TV that badly? Oh well, we still managed to have some fun!

I also started working on a batch of small bugs for a friend. These are the size 12's as I'm getting warmed up for tying on smaller irons. Hopefully they bring him some luck!

Getting a few flies in order for the upcoming ASF Moncton dinner...

I heard through the grapevine that my bugs kicked some ass at the NSPA auction, so I'm getting another box ready for the Moncton ASF dinner in March. Nothing like some backwards hackle to catch some fishermen! =P

Ice Fishing on the Kennebecasis in February!

I was able to convince my beautiful daughter, Melissa, to go ice fishing yesterday.. I figured it'd be a quick couple hours and she'd want to leave but was I ever mistaken! She had a blast and I was taking the shack down around her as she continued to fish! I told her next time we'd bring a lunch and make a day out of it - she seemed honestly excited! Thanks for the great day on the ice, babe!
Love, Dad
xoxo



Oh yeah, we even caught a few fish! =)
