I have been busy like a mo’ fo’ lately, hench the reason for no posting. 

I have been fishing, trying to find a job (anyone in North East Ohio looking for a guy who learns jobs fast?) and tying for my next trip to Tennessee. I will be staying on the Tennessee River, in Spring City, TN from July 2nd – July 7th. It doesn’t also help the fishing here has been so slow, I have been fishing the cover tighter and losing more flies than usual and thus having to tie for hours on end for how many flies I’ve been losing.
But thus summer fishing is upon us. From what I have been hearing and from my own experience, everything has been slow. Slow, slow and S-L-O-W! The steelies have been done for weeks, the lake run smallies have been done for about two weeks and the Green Drakes (in PA, DUH!) are coming off sporadically, if at all.
I also have been playing around with some patterns lately, which I will be show-casing in a few weeks, as well as two rods. Also, if you have them, send some fish pictures, travel pictures or just pictures that are off the wall, the email is pkrotine@gmail.com, just send a little snippet and you will see it here. Until next time, have fun and catch big fish!
