My newest obsession is fly fishing. Some of the reasons that it is so enjoyable for me are: the challenge, the outdoors, a great community, time with friends and family, and a healthy break from my hectic schedule.
I'm particularly pleased that the kids have taken to fishing. Braedi and Corbin learned a bit about casting and gave it a try at Deadhorse Basin. I'm excited for another outlet to spend time with the kids and develop our relationship. Long car rides = captive audience!
Within the last couple of weeks I started learning how to tie my own flies. A good fishing buddy hooked me up with a vise, some tools, and a lot of materials. The kids expressed interesting in learning how to tie, so today the oldest 4 had a chance to try it out. It was a lot of fun. They did quite well. Here's a few pictures:
