Happy Holidays

 

2022 a year in review

Being on a river fishing is my church. It helps me recenter and think of things that are important in my life. This past year was another example of how life can have its up and downs. This past year was full of memories and most of them has nothing to do with the actual act of fishing. I will  caption each photo to illustrate what I mean.

Conneaut and Mother Natures fury has made the water start to rise and its time to go (Janurary)!

Elk Creek, PA no shelter but wanted to see what Mother Nature was up to,

Waterfall in the month of January in Northeast Ohio and a 

young family enjoying the day.

I returned a week later and Jack Frost had been busy.

I returned to the Crooked River Basin for a hike and to get some fresh air.

Then the fly tying for Montana would consume me lol

For my birthday I needed to get away from the tying bench and decided a northcentral PA hike is what I needed.

Then in March NY would beckon me to visit.
