Life has been busy lately. Bustling. I am trying to get this site up and going. Trying to tie flies. Trying to landscape. Trying to be a good husband. Trying to be a good father.

Fishing has been good. I took a couple days off, mental health days, and went fishing with my dad on one of those days. I told my wife how it got me hooked on fishing again. I can’t wait to get back on the water, just like days of old! Sometimes all it takes is a little R and R. I got to do somethings that I normally don’t get to do when I am guiding. I got to fish. I got to relax with my Dad. BBQ on the river bank in the shade next to a nice riffle. No worries about time or number of fish caught. It was awesome. It was like being a kid in college again. A college kid who scheduled his classes around fishing, because all he can think about is getting back on the water.

It was a great reminder of what fishing should really be about. It’s not all about the catching. I feel like the corporate mindset is edging its way into the fishing world everyday, and ruining it as well. So many concerns about numbers. So many concerns about production.

B.S.

I didn’t get into this business for the money, or for the numbers. I am in it for the lifestyle. For the simplicity. I take people fishing. I make people smile. I take pictures of people smiling with fish. This is a picture of my dad smiling with a fish.
