Look to the right of this post….. ----->>>

I just added a new widget that lets you listen to my new CD on the blog. It is just above the Instagram widget. I've got it set up so you can listen to the full CD. You are also welcome to check it out on Spotify or buy it on iTunes. Now you've got a soundtrack for my sporadic short posts. Your dreams come true, I'm sure :)

There it is in the top right of this photo!

January 1. Winter trout season opener.

I lost a glove, broke a net, caught some great fish, and discovered why wing trout fishing in southeast Minnesota and the driftless area is amazing. 

New Year's Eve was spent quietly with my wife, Ryan Secrest, and a fly tying vise. 

New Year's Day began 16deg with a biting wind and a 2 mile hike through the snow. 

I'm thankful for the easement and property owners who have left this land undeveloped. 

The fish were generous and willing to take nymphs and streamers. 

Now, the big question is, when I got back to get my glove I lost somewhere by the stream, do I bring a rod?
