Its been TOO LONGG !!
Hello everyone !! My sincere apologies are going out to all of you who check my blog for updates! Alot of things have happened since the last post. My summer ended with smallies and big flat heads as shown in previous posts.
I am currently living up in Massachusettes to further my progress in reaching college level ice hockey ! I am playing for the Walpole Express Jr.A team of the AJHL (Atlantic Jounior Hockey League). I am also living with a wonderful host family who are extremly nice and caring.
As for fishing, I am not doing any fishing up here. Ive been kicking my self in the ass for it because I am surrounded by stocked trout ponds and bass ponds (not stocked). Although I have brought all of my fly tieing stuff up with me and have been tieing my ass off!
With Christmas around the corner, I will be heading home to PA ! I am soo stoked for this, for I am getting a new Scott A4 9 ft 4 wt fly rod !!! I wil also be doing some winter fly fishing (ive been told it is only when the mentally handicapped fish) ;) haha ! With that said I will be putting up lots of pictures of my new flies that work in the winter and the fish hat I catch!
I will also be putting up lots of photos of the lies i have tied and my fly boxes !
follow me on instagram to see more fly fishing pictures! @mooser0893
I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday !!
keep realin 'em in everyone !!
