Organizing Skills for Fly Fishing

Today’s post parallels my last entry of trying to be better prepared before you get on the water. As I told you in my last post I kind of pride myself in being prepared and ready to fish the minute I make it to the water.

For me, forgetting fishing items for a particular outing falls under the category of not being prepared; so I decided after last weeks fiasco I thought I needed something to bundle all my fly fishing equipment into one place; enter the Game Winner Bag from Academy Sports. 

I am not going to make the predication I will never forget something I need on a fishing trip again, but I will say this Game Bag should make it easier for me to keep my fly fishing equipment in one place.

    Notice the shoe horn, which is extremely handy to get your boots on much faster. I also like to use a folding stool to sit on when I am lacing up my boots and removing my waders. I am always looking for a way to make my trips easier and adding the stool and shoe horn certainly helps. This will be my last post until after the first of the year, so let me wish all you guys a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

 

 

 

 

Numerous Trout Landed on Friday’s Trip

I was on the tailrace Friday and was having one of my better days, where I brought 6 to hand and lost that many in a couple of hours. I was taking pictures of all the trout I landed and the surroundings, when I noticed, after numerous shots I got this message saying no memory card. I am sure the message was popping up on every image I took, but I was so caught up in the moment of landing trout, until I didn’t noticed the message until I shot my last image. Upon arriving home I discovered the card was still in my computer, where I had downloaded some images earlier in the day----talk about a bomber.

This incident reminded me of the half hearted trip I made last year when I arrived at the tailrace with the intentions of fishing the lower section the tailrace, only to discover I had left my fly rod at home. I left as fast as I arrived and didn’t return for the day. I felt I needed the punishment of missing this trip, because again of not being organized. I like to think I am a fairly organize fisherman, when it comes to getting things together for a fishing trip, but Fridays ordeal reminded me I still have some work to do in that department.

                                                                  

Sorry I don’t have any images of the trip, but I promise to make amends on my next outing. I know none of you guys have ever done anything like this.
