Shoulder Season Blues?

 

Fly-tying is a good way to pass the time before the shit hits the fan.

March is a weird month as I am between seasons.Usually the Bass fishing is just starting to pick up but still not quite there yet and the bird season is over.I know I will be going thru a lot of flies when I head north so I am trying to fill fly boxes with patterns that I like to tie.However I have not totally committed to anything,I  find myself bouncing between Fly tying and Dog Training,usually splitting my day fulfilling both.

With fishing season just around the corner there are a lot of trip  plans to be made.My first trip will be next week,Lisa and I are heading up to the White Mountains to fish some lakes,then I am up to Missoula MT for the Orvis Guide Rendezvous,of course  I will spend a day on The Missouri River which will be fun.Upon returning  The Bass fishing in our area should be rolling of course I am looking forward to that.Still there are dogs that need to be exercised and worked.Before I know it i will be in Montana fishing and guiding on The Missouri River and our busy cycle starts again.I can’t wait!

Tying some odd ball patterns like these tricked out Compara Duns is a good way to past the time and dream about ..fishing!
