Bent Rods and Tight Lines
My girlfriend and favorite fishing partner, Erin Brasfield, has made numerous appearances in Bent Rods and Tight Lines. After two years of dating, including almost an entire year of living together, I decided it was time to stoop down on bended knee and propose marriage. .
Silver Creek rebounding from spring flood
Four months after an unusually large flood swept through Silver Creek, depositing silt in favorite fishing stretches and skewing insect hatches, most anglers say the prized trout stream near Picabo is fishing as well as ever. "There's nothing wrong here. The fishing's been good," said John McGough, of Hailey, as he changed out of his waders after a morning of fly fishing last weekend. "I'm seeing a whole lot of active, young fish, which is good news." During a warm, wet spell at the tail end of one of the snowiest winters in the last 25 years, flows on Silver Creek were measured at a swollen 460 cubic feet per second (cfs) on April 6 and 7, 2006. Average flows during spring runoff top out at about 200 cfs. When the waters opened to fishing in late May, many anglers complained that the physical structure of the creek had changed dramatically.
The mad science of lake fishing
Many anglers cut their fishing teeth in lakes with their first tiny spinning rod and trusty red and white bobber. Out comes the cottage cheese container to hold worms dug from the garden. Then off to the lake novice anglers fly, hoping to catch their first, and as the years go by, second and subsequent fish.
