A Belated Sandy Report

I apologize for not staying up on the post but we have been busy getting ready for the up coming trout season and time is hard to come by.
The fishing on the Sandy has been strong for Travis with his clients getting into some pretty nice chrome fish with little to no river traffic. On one trip last week Travis made a new friend which is now part of his family. While parked at the first stop of the morning a young goose came floating up to the boat and decided to jump aboard. Travis let the goose hang out while he and his client had a cup of coffee. After his client finished the run, Travis put the goose back in the water and headed down river to his next spot. They pulled in and started fishing when this little goose navigated the rapids and pulled in alongside the boat and hopped back in. Travis grabbed the goose and stuck him in his wader and brought him home. His name is Pego and he now travels everywhere with Travis.


Travis had a great time at the Spey-O-Rama competition and finished tenth out of 42 competitors. He will be heading to Scotland in July to compete in the international distance competition and to chase some Atlantic salmon with the Carron boys. He is definitely jacking some big casts.

The rest of us here have had little oppurtunity to fish but our trout season will be in full swing in the couple of weeks and we will be posting more regularly with tips, techniques and reports geared toward trout fishing. Here are some pics from the last few weeks.
