Hola Amigos -
Ok. The Trout Buddha has not been the most active blogger in the past month or two. It is nice to know that both of my loyal fans have been worried about my where abouts. Well... too much work, a little travel (work related), and then again there is the work. DAMN that is sad; particularly since we are in the middle of the early trout season. For the record I have been out twice to find beautiful conditions and a couple of nice browns.
So for my official "get your butt in gear and start posting again" post I want to touch base on a few items that have caught my eye recently:
From "The Oatmeal" (brought to my attention by Tom at Trout Underground) an age old question - How Long Could You Survive If You Kicked a Bear in the Balls? Important information. FYI the estimate for me was 40 seconds after taking the quiz. The MLB season is upon us and my Brew Crew mojo is in full swing! I like the pitching, need to get over some injuries, I think they can score enough runs, I'm a bit worried about the back end of the bull pen, and well I'll stop its a long season. Go Crew! Fly Talk's Kirk Deeter took the trouble to list the "12 Best States" for Fly Fishing. Wisconsin did not make the list - hey who needs miles of uncrowded spring creeks, world class small mouth fishing, musky and pike on the fly, and spring and fall runs of salmon and steelhead. Yeah no way the land of cheese is in the top 12 so just stay away. No really - stay away! Saw this posting on the This Is Fly blog and came across some very cool art prints - arrupel? Naturally the Wisconsin print was my favorite. Quote of the day thanks to Mike at Trout Headwaters: "Nature Bats Last" - Yogi Berra. So as we get pounded with ice and snow in - late April...Shirt I am destined to purchase: The Nymph from This is Fly.If you need some good Karma visit the folks at Project Healing Waters and make a donation. We owe these men and women everything - and that includes some fly fishing.Enough semi-random thoughts. Tight lines amigos!
