So Funny!!!!!!

Ice Fishing

Last weekend I went to central Utah with my friend Jed. It was my first time to go ice fishing. I caught the first one, but it was my only one. Jed caught six. Jed is holding a really nice Cutthroat he caught. His dad only caught one fish also, but it was a hog. 22 inches and 5 lbs. He caught it in the last half hour of a 8 hour fishing day. Goes to show that "Good things come to those that wait". Thayne is the one holding the bent rod. The last pic is me holding Thayne's trophy. I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone that I caught it, If he would let me take my pic with it.

Browns and Boo

I went up the canyon today to see if I could find some fish. With the dogs with me we had a fun time breakin through the snow. I think they liked it more than me. We found a few browns in the blizzard.

Bamboo Rod

After about 3 months of working on my rod, it is finished. Sher helped me take a few pics. It has exceded my expectations. I am very excited with the way it casts and feels. It was really worth the time it took building and i plan on building more.
I built the reel seat with the same piece of mahogany the i used to build the planing forms. I also used a 1920 Indian Head nickel on the butt.
