Great afternoon today on the Connecticut River – sunny, but with some momentary cloud cover, and lots of BWOs coming off. Today was also an early glimpse of our “Cast & Blast” season coming up in October for myself and the dogs, as we were out scouting for grouse and woodcock.
I know, I know, our blog posts have been scarce but as Tom said before “life sometimes gets in the way”.
Sorry it’s been so long between updates, but that thing called “life” caught up with me the last couple of weeks, and boy can it get in the way of my fishing addiction.
Four inches of rain fell up here just two days ago, and Old Man River was high and muddy yesterday, but we should be all set there today. All of the dam flows are the same as they were before, so that means that the Connecticut River is very accessible for fishing along it’s length in the north country.
Do you believe me now that the Klinkhammer is a pretty good fly? If I can do it, so can everybody …
If he were with us today, Werner Klemperer (who played the beloved Colonel Klink on Hogan’s Heroes) would surely have used this great fly pattern on the Connecticut River: das “KLINKHAMMER“!
