Night Moves

 

 

I woke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in...

Happy Holidays, Y'all.

It's been a slow December on the Sip, but a lot of things are happening behind the scenes here and a lot of new stuff will be posted on in the new year. Meanwhile, I hope everyone has a great Festivus and says, "screw it" and get out to fish whatever open water you can find. It's a great time of the year to fish small flies, tie flies and stoke a wood stove. Life is what you make of it, my friends. I hope you all take advantage of this special time of the year.

Sometimes You Get The Horns... Sometimes The Horns Get You...

It's snowing outside and I haven't been able to move properly after my buddy's wedding this weekend. I decided it was a good time to get behind the vice for a bit. 

Winter came quick this year.

To Get You Through...

Still recovering from a great trip. I am still defrosting and drying out, so hopefully this gets you through until I post a full report.

Stay tuned!

I Guess Winter Is Okay...

Okay.. okay...okay... okay....


So I will give winter a chance. After all, sometimes the clouds will break and the sun will shine. The midges weren't coming off with the clouds like they were suppose to anyways, so it may as well be warm. There might not be any bugs coming off, but the water is warming. As the water warms the trout start to get bitey and the fishing finally goes off. The fishing is good and I am happy. What else can a guy ask for?

When winter comes calling and my guides ice up... I try to think of tarpon and drinking iced drinks in Key West. But hey... that's just me....

Christmas Is In The Air

A River for Christmas (Director's cut) from Joel La Follette on Vimeo.

All of this snow on the front range has me thinking about Christmas, and how I haven't bought a single present yet... and that i'm broke.

Off to Oregon tomorrow.

Is It Really That Time Already?

This time of the year is bittersweet. Some of the best sippin spots start to get snowed in and you can feel winter in the air. This was my last trip to this spot for a while because I don't see any vehicles being able to get  to it any time soon. I can already envision myself dressed like the Stay-Puff Marshmellow man to fish crowded tailwaters simply because I have no other choice. It's that, or just go skiing instead. Yesterday, I found myself tying midges... MIDGES for Christ sakes! Oh well, I got a big streamer trip planned this week and hopefully winter will subside, if only for a little bit longer.
