Florida and days gone past

The last few nights have been spent loading music to my Blackberry. I plan on doing a lot of fishing next week in Florida. But alas most of it will be alone. I love to jam some tunes while passing the time by myself. Hitting the old tunes has brought back some good memories to my band days. I spent five years as the front man and lead guitar of "Sea of Insanity."
Lots of good music now added to the micro sd card from my CD collection. Keep rockin' on.

The Last in Line- Ronnie James Dio

Message from Wendy Dio

Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us. Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever.

- Wendy Dio

Playing with foam

My daughter was watching me working on some floam flies the other day. She wanted to play too. We ended up with a happy little frog, bottle cap turtles and another flat turtle.

Saltwater fishing in Florida

Been tying some smaller flies for my saltwater trip the first of June. I will be targeting snook, cuda and ladyfish.

I always find it funny that most saltwater fish are caught on flies that I wouldn't throw for small mouth bass. The big pike flies I throw on a daily basis would be be shark flies to someone in Florida.

Caddis Flies

The caddis flies were out heavy this weekend on the lake. Most all braches along the banks were covered with them.
