This icy cold weather has me looking forward to spring already!
Working on a map project at the office and came across the worlds largest fly rod – in Houston, British Columbia.
Looks and sounds like an interesting destination!

Unfortunately the NLFT admins finally locked the thread – it must have gotten hijacked at least 3 times…. just as I had this pic to add ;^)

Getting excited – hopefully in the next week everything all comes together and we’ll have a shiny new Jeep in the driveway!
Have a deal put together on the Rubicon – dual tops, towing package, power group – It looks awesome. It wasn’t the first choice in color – as we ended up putting a deal together on a bright silver model. Had wanted their steel blue model originally. In hindsight, I think that the silver one is probably a better choice. The Liberty looks good, and it’s the same color.
I hear the FTR calling next year for sure!

Yes, summer holidays are done. While I didn’t get in as much fishing as I had hoped, I did manage to spend some time at the vise, and have a few dozen flies to add to the fly boxes. All I did was tie up 2 or 3 flies every day – either later in the evening, or in the morning.
I tied up some of the standard patterns that I tend to go through – T.U.s, Spratleys, and Carey’s – and I also tied up a few wooly buggers, and scuds. I also made up a couple patterns, experimenting a bit with materials and thread colors.
Hopefully some of these will see some water in the next couple of months before the hard water returns – who knows, maybe I can get out to a lake or two that I had hoped to hit during the past couple weeks. We’ll see. Who knows – maybe the trip will be in a new Jeep ;^)

Went for a drive to a couple local lakes with Shan yesterday, and actually found one spot had a fair bit of open water. The aerator was still running, and provided that the wind doesn’t pick up too significantly and blow a pile of ice in towards the dock, it should be okay this weekend!
We are so anxious to get the new pontoon boats wet – I set mine up in the living room just to practice the setup, and try and figure out where I want my rod holder and sonar mounted.
