FGP on Patagonia’s “The Cleanest Line”

Head over to Patagonia’s blog – The Cleanest Line – and you’ll see some fly fishing goodness.  A piece I wrote about tenkara fishing with Yvon last fall has finally surfaced, accompanied by a few images.

Big thanks to the Pata crew for having us out.

This trip was at the end of a long season on the ‘Mo… interesting to look back at the past year.  Fly fishing has dominated somehow, in weird and unexpected ways.

I find I’m okay with that.

Sorry for the silence on the blog – I’ve been settling into the new job, battling apartment issues (yee-haw) and wrapping up a barrage of freelance work (insert real yee-haw here) and trying to stay warm as we’re facing another week of single-digit temps.  Here’s to hot tea, fleece, down jackets and that engine block heater I had put on during last winter’s stint in Hoth… er, high-altitude Wyoming.

I’m about to wrap up my third week in Vermont, and things are settling into a routine, which in of itself is a strange novelty.  I get a strange kick from grocery shopping and coming back after a day of work to a real apartment.  Work meetings still seem a little exotic and I’m discovering random field trips around Orvis HQ do wonders for the creative process, as does a steady playlist of whatever music I’m digging that day.

I’m heading out to the Somerset Fishing Show Saturday and Sunday with some of the Orvis gang.  If you’re heading that way, give me a shout!  There is some very strange irony that I’ll be celebrating my 26th birthday on Saturday while undergoing my first real exposure into East Coast angling culture.  Should be interesting.

So cheers, all.  More images to come soon.
