Bill got crushed boatside by a clean green machine! One of the more incredible displays of the season so far! Colder water temps should have the fish feeling “snappy” in the coming days and weeks.

Spearfish Canyon a hidden jewel in plain view. It has a higher reproductive fish count and lower pressure than the Bighorn and many other Montana streams.

Fishing Spearfish Canyon. Great day to be in 50 degree water. Fish were looking up.

Leaders, the life line between the fisherman and the story.

This in from Adam Minic:
"...Big Bug Leader..."

That's all we have for today, come back on Friday for more fish!

Took a little vacation break. I screwed up the last two rods I built at the last stage so that pi**ed me right off! The rod is a TFO Pro II 4wt I took in on a trade. It fishes quite well but I don't like the throwback design of the joints. This is a graphite rod, there is neither a reason or purpose for this type of connection!

I have 10 rods on order. These will be the last that I build. I'm really struggling with wraps and quality. It's been a fun and rewarding adventure with you all, from California to Ireland and all points in between. I'll be taking the page down when I finish the last rod, a 10 foot, 2wt for a fellow in Pennsylvania. Fortunately he doesn't need it until March 2021. Tightlines!

Average Joe, George Rockwell with his April 24th walleye caught on his Average Joe's 7' med/light spinning rod. Nice fish George! George is my neighbor here in Larimore, ND.
