Tying Time

Well, it’s been a rough week for anglers with all the rain. Luckily we just got a big shipment of tying materials in the shop from @harelinedubbin to keep you occupied till the water comes down. Swing by the shop this weekend for all your tying needs. Or better yet bring your vise and some supplies to the shop tomorrow and tie up some bugs and talk fishing with us.

Winter Window

"The calm before the storm". The river finally receded enough for us to get out before more rain came through. With the pre-frontal conditions, the river really showed out!

Shoulda Known Better

Nice evening on the lake yesterday. Lanier stripers were deep and not interested in eating...until we left just before dark. Our friends Josh England and Keith Ohrstrom boated several right after we pulled out. Ain't that the way it always goes!
