| 2012 Log This is the fifteenth year of my on-line logbook. I started it in the hope that readers would enjoy the goings-on that take place during my time on the river. I hoped they would take note of the hatches and my successful imitations and apply this information to their own rivers. I hoped it would open their eyes to the fact that my log is not all about hooking fish. I hope they can see that it is a window into the passion that my friends and I have for the outdoors. Please do not abuse this information by overfishing and do not make the mistake of putting yourself before the fish. All fish in this log are released. Temperatures are in Centigrade Click here for last years logbook. | ||
| Fly-fishing is the poetry of angling. Dr. Henshaw | Jan.19. Air temp -9. Sunny Ten days of being on antibiotics for pneumonia has just about wrung me out, but I think the worst is over. Watched a few movies and read a ton of books. No snow on the ground at all. The buffleheads are back in the cove, along with a bald eagle. | The water was translucent and three-foot trout strolled upriver, or hung in the current, lazy and fat. From The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt |
 | Jan.1. Air temp 5. Overcast We took our traditional New Years Day walk up the river. Not a single snowflake anywhere. We did have snow Christmas day but we've had a pile of rain since then. The river was into the woods. The fox was in our backyard a couple of days before Christmas. I walked to within twenty feet of him. The apron to the right was a Christmas gift to Fishgirl. |  |
