The League Of Extraordinary Fishing Partners


There has been a lot of debate lately of the depth of which fishing can save a soul...well i am here to tell you that it cant, but it sure can make the days and nights go by a lot nicer.

Yes my friend and i have been loyally fishing now twice a week for at least the last month, the current forcast calls for trout...

a lot of trout.

and the ever elusive catfish we so lovingly and enduringly go after time and agian? you may ask and i'll tell you you see this weather front coming in from the west over here? well it's going to continue to bring in cool moist air that is going to make fishing for the damned cat difficult, but i see big cats in the future...

dont worry...max we will be having fish for dinner agian real soon you have my word, and if we dont catch them... there are pleanty of these for you to work on....
