Happy Friday! Anyone else working for the weekend? Weekends are my favorite, mainly because I love getting to spend the entire time with my wonderful husband, Christopher. However, if you will notice the picture on the left, something else has come along that leaves me competing for some of that time! Christopher has always loved fishing. I've heard many many stories of his fishing adventures throughout the years, and get to see the collection of poles on the wall every time I walk into our garage.
Something important to know about my darling husband, is that he has what I call a slightly obsessive personality. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just calling a spade a spade. Since this revival of fishing has happened, he has spent hours reading articles on the internet, watching fishing T.V. shows, gabbing with Captain Quin at the Dam Store and with a friendly sales man Tim at the Bass Pro Shop. Something was missing this year though, he needed to up his game and found the perfect solution...
FLY FISHING!
That's right, fly fishing is what my angler dreamed of, and that's exactly what I got him for his birthday! I went down to the Bass Pro Shop, found Tim, and proceeded to set Christopher up with his very own fly rod and all the accessories needed. If you've never spent time looking at the actual flies, I would highly suggest it. Mainly because it's down right entertaining. Who knew that the little things actually looked like flys?!? Not me, but now I am fully versed in the world of Nymphs, Wooly Buggers, Poppers and the like. I even thought about attempting to make the dern things myself, but then I watched a fishing show about making flies and it's a little much to be perfectly honest. Which brings us basically to the present, Christopher is in love with fly fishing and I'm in love with seeing my husband so happy not to mention all the tasty trout that we get to eat after a successful trip!
