2020, fishing, and all of us

So far 2020 is off to a slow start. The catch and release streams are closed for the time being and we’re all dealing with Covid19 lifestyle changes. For fly fishermen who sport the face gaiters, we’re finally in fashion. My neighborhood is finally full of families out walking and biking like I imagined it would be when we moved across the city.

During 2019 I’d decided to take a break and focus on family and health. I’ve spent a LOT of time doing R&R and even building that drift boat. I hoped to do “a little” guiding in 2020 though we can’t hit the river just yet. While I’m on my feet again, I’m making sure to take care of my “sports” that live under that same roof as me.

Fresh Varnish on the boat! …and they said it’d never happen!

Who know’s what’s in store for this summer but I am holding on to the hope that we’ll all be back on the water and sharing stories in parking lots again soon.

Keep safe and remember to reach out to your local fly shop for some fly tying gear to help pass the time. I know the gang at District Angling is working hard to get their inventory up on-line. I’ve got my “interns” busy trying on waders and sorting out gear – after we do our school stuff of course.

The Interns staying busy during Covid-isolation making sure our gear is ready for 2020.

I’ll post when things are back up and we’re ready to offer up some open dates.

Tight lines,

Micah
