Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day from Red Cliff. Thank you to all who have served and are currently serving our awesome country.

Eagle River 5/11/15

The Eagle river flows have been up and down with the variable weather, but fishing has been good. Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking David and Matt fishing. We started catching fish on san juan worms, then switched to small mayfly nymphs. A dozen fish were brought to the net, another great day.

Tuesdays Fishing Trip

I always enjoy receiving these. Tuesday was tough fishing. We couldn't get anything to chase a streamer, and nymph strikes were few and far between. We stuck with it however and managed four trout. We also took a big wave that doused John and his camera. He replied that it is a good story for the grand kids.

"Dear Mike

                   Can I thank you once again for the excellent service you provided on Tuesday which made it such a memorable day fishing.

                    Your knowledge of the water ensured that even a duffer like me stood a chance of catching fish.

                      I got the camera working by drying it out in a bag of rice and I enclose a photo.

                                                      Regards

                                                      John Rotheram"

Thank you John

Bait

A snow storm brought out thousands of worms this morning. They looked like they were snow bathing. I have not put a worm on a hook for quite some time, but it seems odd not to use what nature gives. Funny, my parents told me that as a baby my sisters once fed me worms on a fishing trip. I just tell everyone that's how good of a fisherman I am... ya got to make sure your using fresh bait.

Just making sure it's fresh.
