The winter provides many of it's own challenges. The fly fishing is still good this time of the year but the weather, and the cold make for a brutal detriment to guiding. Therefore, I find it necessary to pursue another line of employment to keep my bills paid. This winter I am driving a hot shot truck in the oil fields of Northeast Utah. I find that the further I drift into the off season the more I look forward to mid-March and the promise of a new season of guiding on the Green, my home.
For the last two years I have found what I believe makes me truly happy. To guide clients on the Green a river that I have truly fallen in love with every thing that it holds. It is a true pleasure to show my clientele the wonders of this river. I look forward to this coming season where I will get to spend more quality time on the river with clients that I have met over the previous two seasons. As well as I am looking forward to the many new faces that I will have in my boat. I look forward to the friendships that will develop out of these trips.
Unfortunately I have been unable to get on the river to go fishing much over the past month or so. The only day that I have had available over the last few weeks to go fishing was instead occupied by the need to winterize my boat. However, my next days off I definitely intend to, rain or shine, at least get out for a couple of hours walk wading, if not for a whole day of floating throwing streamers. And when I do get out there, I will write in here as many details of my day that I can including some pictures of the days endeavors.
