I was able to catch this really nice 22" walleye yesterday fishing with my Dad! He didn't catch anything, so I gave him the walleye to enjoy.

​Four new spin flies I made today! It's so fun getting new materials and having so many options for endless colors and patterns.

​Finished this large inline spinner today to hopefully entice a muskie or pike this year!

​Stay tuned for another exciting fishing episode on my YouTube channel Artdoorsman! If you haven't already please subscribe! I caught 5 rainbow trout for the freezer and a nice 14" largemouth that I'll eat tonight in the frying pan!

​I didn't catch any fish this morning before work, but had an amazing time enjoying nature and finding deer skulls too!

​My latest fishing adventure this spring is fishing for creek chubs, and I also caught a baby bass that I was really happy about! They are not prevalent where I was fishing.

What was the egg I found from? Leave a comment below and let me know your guess!

Original guitar instrumental titled "Creek Walk" by Artdoorsman will be available soon to listen to in entirety on Spotify and more!

Ran across this photograph of me from sometime in the mid to late 80's on vacation in Colorado camping somewhere around the South Platte River.

Check out my latest YouTube video! It's a new song too that I recorded today just for this fishing adventure!

This evening I went to a nearby river where I live and took my ultralight rod and reel and tied on some small spin flies for anything that would bite.   I ended up catching some small different species of fish.  It was a nice time getting back to the river where I fished as a kid with my Dad and my sister when we were kids.  I still have memories of catching fish there.  I have many memories spending so much time by the river growing up.  It was a place where we went to escape the world and be within nature.

  Tonight I crossed a log laying across a small creek and noticed how deteriorated it had become.  I can remember crossing that same log 30 years ago when it was still strong and a great place to cross.  Time will weather and change the landscape, but one thing is for certain the memories are still there.  Tonight the memories flooded my heart and I thought about my Grandpa.  I wished I could tell him about the fish I caught and what I saw alongside the river.  Time passes so quickly and this life is so brief.  Tell the people you love that you love them.  Always make your words sweet in case you have to eat them.
