This a place in Four Hole swamp I've fished it since I used to ride my bike to it as a kid.
Last May on a whim I fished it with a 3wt Butterstick. Caught and released 8 redfin like and 6 fat red breast bream. Glad I had that whim! Felt like a kid again.

Thought I’d introduce myself. I’m Amanda and I live offgrid in a tiny dry cabin in interior AK with 6 retired sled dogs and my spouse. I’m an empty nester with my first new grand baby and photography is my passion. Feel free to say hi, and maybe share a photo you’ve taken that you love. ☺️

While it’s a Christmas Day, it is Wednesday, so, I visited a waterfall with my family 😊
Kids love bouncing on these logs 😉
Although cold, quite a few people walking along the creek 😊

On Fly-fishing Etiquette: Common sense rules to make sure everyone has a good time on the water. “Assume another angler is working from downstream up. No matter how the person is fishing, you can figure that most good anglers will be moving upstream.”

This is the antithetical post to what I posted this morning.
There goes the sun.
Here comes the moon.
I had let the beagles run rabbits for 2 hours. And I had just caught them and clipped on their leads as the sun was setting.

This was the best performing fly in September when in Bozeman.
The hopper-dropper setup was getting no love and switched to this red ant variant on day two. #flyfishing

To me, David Coggins is the next gen feel-good voice we need in this day and age. Touches of Gierach, Harrison, and McGuane, all wrapped in waxed canvas and just the right amount of tweed.

“At the top of a run they call The Rise, I threw cast after cast. Cast the fly, let the fly swing, let the fly dangle, pump the fly twice, take two steps downriver, repeat. I was looking for the fish of a thousand casts.”
