Introduction


Hi everyone. Welcome to my journal. I have decided that I needed to start a journal of my adventures after my most recent trip to yellowstone. Normally I am able to remember all the details of my tremendous trips through the pictures that I take. This past trip, though, I realized that many of my favorite moments of my trip to yellowstone alone occured during or before sunrise and sunset. I also realized that lighting during this time frame is not exactly......perfect. In fact it is horrible. So, naturally, I decided to turn my memories into short stories so that I can better remember them.


Another aspect I am looking forward to about this journal is that I can write down the fishing details that I can look back on. Because of this I can later look at what flies were working well and which ones weren't. I can see which techniques were better to use and how I faired. I might comment on other fisherman that were around me, some of which I might ask of their experiences. I can also determine which months of the year are best in certain areas of the country. Not to mention, I shall be able to determine the best times of the day and best weather conditions needed for a successful day on the water.


Of course I will add photos to as many of my stories as I am able, so as to better describe a feeling or scene. I love taking pictures and I love even more to show them off. Not all of my stories will be of fantastical places or superb fishing trips. Many, I'm sure, will be in local areas with my kids and even more of the stories will take place at my dear grandma's house on her 56 acres of land. I'm looking forward to keeping a journal of some of my favorite moments and I'm excited to be sharing it with anyone who is interested.
