Fly fishing related of course. But what in each calendar year do you look forward to doing. Whether it's hitting a specific stream or hatch, doing something new, or trying something different.
Here's mine.
I always look forward to learning something new. I'm still a little wet behind the ears and look for people on this board to help my learning curve. I look forward to fishing new streams, getting into more wilds, and finding some new hatches. I want to hit these specific hatches this year. BWO's, Sulphurs, March Browns, Brown Drakes, Caddis, and if I'm lucky maybe the Green Drakes and tricos.
I now look forward to the JAM. I went last year for the first time and enjoyed actually meeting people from this board face to face and fishing streams I don't usually get to fish. New things are always fun.
The staples I enjoy every year.... The first couple weeks after opening of trout, where I fish a midge hatch with a sz 22 griffiths gnat at my local ATW and make the worm dunkers ticked off that I'm catching fish and they're not :lol: I also enjoy fishing the usual places I go to. The Neshannock and Slippery Rock, my favorite Class A, my local ATW, and a nice pond for gills in the summer. Also one of the highlights of my year is fishing a private pond that an event is put on every year for people at my church with a pot luck dinner. It is just full of LARGE gills and 12-14" bass. Not unusual to catch 20 bass in 2-3 hours.
Never thought a completely random decision to buy a fly rod for my birthday a few years ago would turn into a lifetime enjoyment of such a great sport!
