We decided to write this blog as a way of sharing some of our stories from past experiences fishing, tying flies, guiding, and traveling. Most of which are completely 100% true except for the names of people, some stories are slightly embellished and some are mostly made up. It's really for you to figure it out and for us to have some fun writing down some of the truly good memories we have had while immersed in fly fishing.

Hurricane Irene, and what it did to a Vermont Stream...

This is an email that I received from my brother who lives along the Battenkill River in Vermont.  Phil Monahan, who writes a fly-fishing blog for Orvis, wrote a post on the effects that Hurricane Irene had on one of his favorite streams.

 Please take a look at the link to see just how powerful Mother Nature can be.  I can think back to when my brother sent me links to YouTube videos where cars were getting swept downstream at the height of the storm. It's astonishing.
