Antero Ice Fishing for the First Time

My first 'iced' rainbow trout.

     A guy from Wisconsin, a Jayhawker, and two South Africans step onto Antero Ice for the first time.  Stop me if you’ve already heard this one.

     Hiemal fishing has never been my forte, and my first time ice fishing started out on the chilly side, but by the end of the day I warmed to the prospect.

Tyin' Flies and Takin' Names

     Soon after learning the basics of fly casting, and seeing the pride in others when a fly they tied works on the river or lake, I decided to take up fly tying.  But where to start?

A Fly Fishing Primer

     Learning how to fly-cast from a book was not as difficult as I thought it would be.  Joseph Petralia’s Flyfishing: First Cast to First Fish! did the job for me.  A long time ago I had my first fly-fishing experience.  A friend invited me along on a trip to one of the best places in the Midwest to catch big trout.
