Cicada's
I've been reading reports that the cicada's are starting to come out...which means throwing big flies to big fish. The way I picture it, it is like throwing big grasshoppers here in Alberta; the harder they land and the more commotion the better.
I've been tying flies, and making more preparations...finally beginning to think I have the fly situation under control!

More Friday night trip planning
Once again I have my laptop open to google earth, my NZ fishing guide, and pages of printed out fishing info going over it again and again anticipating the day I take off.
Right beside me is a list of things I need to take and do. Am I forgetting something? Am I planning on taking too much? Do I have enough flies? What if I come across a picky 10lb trout rising to something I don't have? These things keep me up at night...and keep me from working at work. I can always be researching something or going over scenarios in my head. I think the biggest question I have though is how much am I going to miss my family over Christmas?
