New Mejico Can Kiss My...

Ask anybody, New Mexico has some pretty cool fishing. There is a lot more to the place other than the San Juan, but right now, I am hating them. I got a ticket for not wearing my pfd in the boat (I had it in the boat, just not on) and now they want me to come back down from Denver to go to court. Aztec, NM is over 7 hours away from me. Are these people insane?

Furthermore, they have their priorities completely effed up. Here are the possible fines differences between my ticket and RECKLESS DRIVING!

No PFD = $500 and/or 180 days in jail. 

VS.

Reckless Driving = $300 and/or 90 days in jail. 

Something is soooo messed up about that. I'm not trying to belittle the importance of water safety, but for crying out loud,is wearing a pfd more important than stopping people from endangering others with reckless driving? 

But They do have this....

So they have that going for them... which is nice. 

I may be bringing my next post from a jail cell in Aztec. I hope they treat me well.

Sometimes you eat the bar... sometimes the bar eats you... and makes you cut up all of your old reject flies for their hooks and spare materials.

Something like that anyway.....

Start Planning Your Exotic Island Vacation

Beaver Island on the Fly from fishbeer on Vimeo.

In Michigan?... YES... If this is the first you have heard of Beaver Island, then congratulations on your new knowledge. Beaver Island is in northern Lake Michigan and boasts some insane flats fishing for big carp and smallmouth. With beautiful scenery, easy-going island atmosphere, and a price tag closer to a weekend trip to Grandma's vs booking a $5k trip to the Bahamas. If you are anywhere near Michigan in summer, or just want to experience some of the coolest carp/smallmouth fishing in the world, give Nomad Anglers a call.
