Friday Thoughts……..a random bit of fly fishing from my head.

Snow/Rain/Crap

So i am getting fed up with all this extra snow…….. lots of crap on the side of the road that looks like crap all brown and such from cars….and rain predicted for monday will melt all this snow away into our rivers and lakes….. so it looks like the rain in the forecast will wash away all this snow into our rivers and make them high again for like the 3rd fricking time this year….. but dont worry every story has a silver lining……. I have heard from a few sources including a few guides that the spring fishing will be on FIRE!!! good water levels all though the year and good fishing later in the season! The SNP will probably be fishing well later this year the normal… Good flows all year for floating rivers

Fly Tying…..

School Days get really long and i often find myself daydreaming about fly fishing and fly tying…. often times a new fly pattern gets written on the back of classwork or such…. I have been in the works of a new nymph pattern that originated on the back of some classwork in school. I have been experimenting with doing a dubbing loop which is a really cool technique if you have never tried it. I am a huge fan of woolly buggers with dubbing on them and now my go-to bugger is a dub-bug (my own version of a woolly bugger). If you there is still any doubt in your mind about attending the fly tying marathon it will be incredibly awesome! lunch will be provided and deserts!

Kayak Stuff

Have some fly rod holders coming in soon to put on the kayak for some summer smallmouth action on the fly from the yak! Been hard at work filling my new smallmouth fly box for the coming season……however i must say i am more stoked for the trout season!

Fly Fishing

Might go fly fishing on Sunday after the marathon but that is still in the works!

This fly tying marathon is made to support project healing waters programs in the area.

The Event will be for 5 hours. It is free for you to attend. If you cant stay the whole time or don’t want to tie the whole time you don’t have to. There will be lunch provided. All the flies that are tied will be donated to project healing waters programs in the area. These flies will be used by the veterans for use during their fishing rehabilitation programs to catch fish!

Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, Inc. is dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and veterans through fly fishing and fly tying education and outings. They teach veterans of wars how to fly cast, fly fish and tie flies. Since its inception, PHWFF has been helping disabled active duty personnel and veterans to overcome the obstacles associated with their military service-related disabilities. The relearning of the fine motor skills required in fly fishing and fly tying has proven to be particularly effective in the overall rehabilitation of the disabled.

If you are able to make this program or have any questions please contact me

Wray Sinclair at wcsinclair@msn.com with your name and how long you will be able to attend.

Thanks

Wray Sinclair
