Fly Fishing German Style!

I spent a large part of the month of July in Frankfurt, Germany on business. I wasn't able to fish, but I was able to visit a fly shop in Frankfurt. The owner was great to talk to, and let me in on the local fly fishing. Carp is king!! The trout are limited to mainly privately held streams.

As I said, the shop was great and I highly recommend a visit the next time you are in Germany!

Rod Building Time!

Well, I've taken the plunge into the world of rod building! I've purchased am inexpensive kit from Hook and Hackle (www.hookhack.com) to start off with.

If this works out, I plan to build a rod for each of my kids. It might be a neat way for them to remember me some day. Hopefully they will think about me while they are fishing with their kids!

I'll let you know how it goes.
