Watching "Trout TV Show" yesterday

Yesterday got to be a bit too much inside time. I eventually turned on the television, and I found "Trout TV"  (see www.trouttvshow.com)

I haven't seen this show before, mostly because I rarely watch tv, but it was a great distraction for the boys....and it turned into some teaching points for my four-year-old.

The show was dry-fly-fishing on the Teton River, a 90-minute drive from our house. It looked AWESOME! They were drift-boating, but I could see myself bushwhacking along the shore on that river. Definitely some great fishing to be had up there. I've always had the Teton River in the back of my mind, but now it has moved up to the front a bit closer. I think I'll wait a year til Paul is a bit older because it looked like the water is a bit "bigger" than I really want him to be around right now.

But they were catching nice fish on a beautiful river!

Then I checked out their website. It's easy to cruise around, and they have a cool shirt for sale.

Check them out when you get a chance.

Cool Art:Brian Murphy Artwerkz

I was cruising through some fly-fishing magazines online recently, and I saw some REALLY COOL art that I wanted to pass on to others.

I found Brian Murphy in MontanFlyFishingMagazine.com online magazine.

His art makes me put thoughts into the minds of the fish. I just think it's really cool. Take a look! I haven't asked if I can post some of his art here, so I'll just give you the link to his art.

Fishhound.com looks like a cool site

I hadn't seen fishound.com until I saw a brochure for it in Sunriver, Oregon last week. It llooks like a really cool and useful site. I'll be signing up for an account soon as I prepare for our SALMON FLIES fishing trip in Yellowstone. I'm pretty excited about it. Just a short couple of weeks now. Hopefully the water calms down a bit.

While I was in Sunriver, OR last week for a family get-together during the Pacific Crest Sports Festival Weekend (I did a triathlon, others did other races), I had the opportunity to fish the Fall River right at the hatchery near Route 40. What a beautiful little quiet river!  I would give pretty much anything to be able to live right there in those hatchery employee houses!  Very pretty. Very quiet. My kind of place.  Recommend you take an hour or two to fish that short stretch (500 yards at the most) of river.
