She bubbles and babbles, always whispering. She can also roar, heavily stained as she moves ever downward, a slave only unto gravity. Today she whispers. Happily trickling and chattering as I listen in silence and smile.

It's that time of year. Thoughts focused on early- It's that time of year. Thoughts focused on early-season hatches. Trout taking March Browns. A while off yet, but it'll still be cold then. I remember last year. Frozen legs, standing waist-high in cold waters, waiting for the hatch. When it starts, it's gonna be biblical. Voracious feeders need big footprints. Keep it simple. Snowshoe rabbit dubbing, CdC, Coq de Leon tails, and some bling (Semperfli Flat Tinsel)...for trout deserve celebration.

I never thought it would happen. The 'balding', th I never thought it would happen. The 'balding', that is. Why does it get so shiny, so announced? Still, we carry on, oblivious to 'the shining' (as some have said...Xenomorph-esque). After all, I cant see it. Never stop being young. When you stop, you die.

Blue spots and halos. Challengingly low waters, bu Blue spots and halos. Challengingly low waters, but there were rising fish, eating only God knows what, and a little confused as to why some of the food transported them infront of a weirdo's camera. Always returned, and like rockets back into the darkness.

That time we were younger men. That time we did 56 That time we were younger men. That time we did 56 miles in 24hrs. It hurt. It hurt a lot. The cheap prosecco at the finish line tasted better than the most expensive champagne. We hiked, we hurt, and we saw nature at its most beautiful and greatest, and via our most delirious highs and lows. Rose tinted glasses aside, I will never do it again. @garethr1812, I think you'll agree.

Currently putting together the 'All You Need Flybo Currently putting together the 'All You Need Flybox' for an upcoming auction lot. A dozen patterns, all of which have two or less ingredients (excluding thread), and what better pattern to start with, than a Snowshoe Hare Emerger. Snowshoe wing with a Snowshoe dubbed body and thorax.
