It was ten years ago
or so when it hit me that I had been wasting way too much time watching tv.
Cable was costing me fifty bucks a month and what was I getting from it? I
decided to get rid of cable and just ran my tv off an antenna. With no ESPN or Fox
Sports my tv watching quickly dwindled to late night reruns. A few years later
my wonderful wife started watching House and when I joined her I became hooked
again, shortly after that it was CSI, Bones, NCIS, Numbers and very quickly I
was hooked back on the tv. When I think about my daily plans it is sad how it
revolves around what is on tv. Monday it is Castle, Tuesday it is NCIS and NCIS
LA, WED it is CSI and Friday is Blue Bloods and the Sunday starts my week with
my faves The Good Wife and The Mentalist. How did I ever get so wrapped up in
this?
This past week the
series were all finishing up with their “Season Finales”, full of action and
cliff hangers. The networks are already
advertising their summer series B rated dramas. I wrote a few weeks ago about
some of the Lakes around here and it hit me how my life seems to parallel the
TV dramas. As we near the runoff “hopefully”, we begin to prepare for our
summer series. Cat and I have trips planned for The Delaney’s, the Taylor, and
Cat will be guiding in Alaska for a month but I don’t want to forget about what
an AWESOME Spring drama we have here on the Arkansas tailwater. So, in honor of
Castle asking Becket to marry him, Patrick Jane whittling down his list of Red
Johns to 5, Deeks kissing Kinsey(made Cat gasp), Holmes naming a bee after
Watson(Cat’s fave), and Alisha Florrick “possibly” changing law firms, we have
decided to do our own Season Finally. We have seen a very bizarre spring full
of spectacular fishing, good fishing and even a little “what the” fishing and
wanted to share our “Season finale” with you. We try to do something a little different with
each new video and this time we decided to add a few pics from some of the
guide trips this spring. We have guided seasoned, intermediate and quite a few
never ever fly fisherpeople and although we love to see our clients land the
monster of their dreams, we also love the look of joy on the face of each
person when they hook and land that first and most special fish on a fly rod.
We put together the video like a true season finale with most of the “pretty”
and exciting at the beginning and the end(Cat,Winston and clients) and me in
the middle.As always, Thanks for reading and watching, Connell, Cat, Winston
and The Drift Fly Shop…
Enjoy…The Arkansas
River Spring Season Finale!!!!!!
We hope that you
find the video enjoyable and want reiterate that just because the seasons are
changing doesn’t mean that fishing has to end. Summer fishing possibilities are
endless and we at The Drift would love to help you plan your summer fishing
adventures. We have fished all over this state, Wyoming, South Dakota, and
Scooter has spent quite a bit of time on the San Juan. In other words, where
ever your summer plans take you, we are here to help. As this blog is going
live I see the river came up to over a thousand last night, be very careful if
you fish it here in P-town. Thanks for continued support and hope you have a
great summer!!!
