I think every writer in the world writes about the block to get rid of it. It reminds me of that song in your head. You sing it out loud hoping that it goes away, or that skunk that rides along on your back. The blog here is giving me the smell of a good skunking and the rivers are yielding fish. The “Frenzy” really reminded me that I am an unpopular writer in the blogging world. Heck, even in the fishing world I’m not really known for anything. By no means is this a pity party, but you can feel free to bring some beer. I’m not a guide, I don’t work at a fly shop, I didn’t write a picture book of flies I have tied, my work isn’t published in a magazine, but I do spend well over a 3rd of my life on the water. Because of that, My writings and my trips sound the same to me. Walking away from this for a couple weeks was to get in order what I wanted this for. I want to make it more exciting for you guys. Here is a quick summary of the past two weeks:
Chased Brook Trout in the high country!
Climbed a tree for my last yellow sally.
Ran through rambling rainbows .
Fished a great new river with John T.
Caught a handful of Brown Trout this size.
Finally, although no pictures were taken, I fished with the boss again. In the same place as last time and it was even more fun this time. That was the past two weeks in a nutshell! I’ll Get you some fresh new posts next week!

I must have written a least 200 posts before my first case of writer’s block. That means it’s time to go fishing.

Yellow sally’s ARE pretty darn sexy. I can see why you climbed that tree. “Unpopular blogger”…? You’re one of my favorite reads, and I’ve been sorely missing your posts….I hope you’re un-blocked soon, although I completely understand the feeling…

I was able to let my mind wander last fishing trip. Some good stuff will be out this week. Sorry for my absence.

I almost didn’t respond to this, as I was having a tough time getting un-blocked…
I’m just glad you weren’t trying to hide from a bear up in that tree…looks like you’ve had a pretty good last couple of weeks, and when fishing is good, there is no sense wasting time behind a computer screen when there are fish to be had…
found some “backcoutry” spots on the Poudre this weekend…can’t wait to get you back up here to take your revenge on your nemesis…

Maybe that will have to be done this weekend. Also, you are right! Psht! Computers, who needs ’em?
