Eagle River: Caddis Love

joey — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 18:58:37 +0000

Woke up bright and early this morning, grabbed some caffine, and plopped the boat in the water. Jason met me at the ramp and we shoved off just before the Caddis Hatch. 100 yards from the ramp Jason had one take his day and missed it. Then again….then again. “Dammit Newellsy I am sticking you on the oars if you keep missing em” I shouted. We rolled down the Eagle casting to risers all morning. Things started to slow down as we neared the take out but we had plenty of chances.

Please Mend….

Nice Rainbow we got to the Boat.

Another look.

This is a poem by Gordon Bok that I read in college and thought of it when my mother sent me this picture of her Uncle Bob. I like to think that Charlie might look like this. Listen to this good ole’ Down East Poem.

Eagle River: Guides Fun Float

joey — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 12:55:03 +0000

The water in the Vail Valley has finally started to come down and has gotten clear in the process. A couple days ago eight of us took three boats and floated the lower section of the Eagle River to get an idea of what the fish were eating. Jason and I mostly nymphed and had some luck, but most of the fished were caught on double streamer rigs. Between the 3 boats we probably landed around 15 fish with the biggest going to Bob around 20″. It wasn’t on fire but it was better thatn sitting on the couch.

Steelhead: Alaska Adventure

joey — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 01:01:16 +0000

The water is high and the fishing for me has been nill for the last few weeks. Yesterday I got the Steelhead itch even though it seems light years away and emailed “rooster” to find out the skinny on an Alaska Steelhead Adventure. Well it would seem that the alaska trip will have to wait for me untill my wallet is fatter but I will make it to Forks to fish with Dan and Jeff next spring.

Here is Rooster with a freshie from this spring.

Rooster put me on this buck. Check out roosters photo gallery for more great pics of Montana, Washington, Alaska and beyond.
