Ice Fishing

My high hopes for an early spring have been dashed by an unusually cold and snowy February so far. But if the cold persists, I have a backup plan. We're taking a trip to Florida and the Caribbean in mid-March and I'm lobbying for some quality fishing time then.
Last year the weather started to get better around the end of March, so I guess the worst case scenario is that I'll have to wait until then...

Getting it Started

I can feel Spring right around the corner and I'm so excited that my dreams are filled with fish. I figure that other people are feeling the same way and so I've decided to give a little pre-season warm-up talk at Cumberland Transit next month:

Carp on the Fly: a Formula for Success

Thursday - February 18, 2010 (6:00 PM)

A short presentation for anyone interested in fly fishing for carp - by Adam Dailey-McIlrath. Audience members can enter to win a selection of carp flies and a free guided fishing trip.

I'll be discussing some simple strategies that a trout bum or a salt water angler could use as guiding principles if they wanted to try chasing carp. If you're in or around Nashville, I hope to see you there!
