River Days are Good Days
Quick fish with my bud. He may be 11, but it doesn’t slow him down.

Photo 2: Laser focus.
Photo 3: Fishy kisses. He had to kiss each one. They couldn’t swim away fast enough.Great way to end the week.
Fish happy,

In Search of Smallmouth…
A lot of times you will find us playing disc golf on a day off. (Jamie is determined to take it to the next level and he is putting in a lot time and effort as is his way with anything he does). But, on some days we manage to actually fish together. ( And actually, I never get a day off, but my office can be anywhere. Outside is always best. Outside and fishing is magnificent). On this particular perfectly windy fall day, we headed to a little spot in search of smallmouth. A long the way we saw a black bear, an eagle, groundhog, mink, carp, trout and ultimately, those feisty smallmouth! We each took our turn at bat and on the sticks. Of course the guides, make rowing a very long boat in high winds look like second nature. I’m not there yet. We each landed some nice ones and had a blast doing it.
The boys ended the day with tacos from our new favorite place. I ended up in the car line to pick up our little cubs. Some might think I got the short end of the stick on that deal. I think I won. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Fish happy,
Kati
