Fishing Gloves

My wife Kelli is an world class Knitter and for Christmas this year she made me a pair of washable Merino wool fingerless fishing gloves.

I used them Sunday at Pass Lake and they are awesome. I feel pretty lucky as I don’t know many guys who fish with hand knitted Merino Wool Gloves.
Thanks Kelli I love you.

Skate The Fly Expands

Dylan Rose has taken Skate The Fly to the next level. Dylan and Dave McCoy of Emerald Water Anglers already had Skate The Fly TV with great guests like Greg Thomas from AnglersTonic and Captain Terry Duffield AKA "Coach Duff" from Hawaiian Bonefishing with Coach Duff. With a fun of the cuff we are regular guys attitude it is must watch TV.

Now Skate The Fly is a full service online Fly shop with intuitive shopping and great teaching content. Skate The Fly is most definitively on my must see website list. I am sure if Dylan puts the effort into customer service that he put into building this site it is going to be a hit.

The Learning Curve

I don’t know about you, but I always love to fish new places. It is always a challenge try to find out what fly or what fishing technique is going to work. On Sunday this week instead of going to Pass Lake here in Anacortes I decided to get out of my box and try another local lake that I have only fished one other time. The weather was amazing and the scenery beautiful.


I wish I could say that the fishing was great. After a full afternoon of trying numerous flies and fishing styles. I left the lake with a relaxed but defeated mindset. I know there is fish in the lake and I vow that I will find out how to master them. Sometimes the work and effort we put into realizing success in a fishery is a large part of what draws us to fishing. There are so many variables that go into catching fish that at times it can be a puzzle that can be tough to solve. In the process we are blessed with great views and a solitude and peace that is healing to the soul.
Merry Christmas and remember to enjoy your surroundings Tight Lines
