Subject: Fishing…what else?
Hey Fred,
How’s it going? When we spoke back in September in Alaska, you talked about possibly doing some fishing in Montana in April or May before you head up to Alaska, is that still your plan? I haven’t been in the water since we fished together in September, and it’s killing me! I’m taking a spey rod casting class on April 5th, that will be the closest I’ve gotten to water since September. Let me know if you’re interested in doing any fishing! Thanks and I hope all is well!

Hello Tom,
That is not right. Here is how I spent my morning…
Since today was the first day of spring, I decided I would have to go fishing. I also decided that just for fun, I would throw streamers. Using a smaller olive version of our Strip Leech silver fly, I got grabs constantly for 2 hours. The fish were mostly rainbows 14-17″, but also two browns, one that was well over 20″. I picked up a couple more fish nymphing, and then boogied back home to get some work done. We have had cold weather until recently, but this last week has warmed and the river is all ice free. Looking at 60 degrees right now. If you are interested in fishing between April and early May let me know. I have been subbing in the school district most days, but I can always say no to the school and go fishing. You need some time on the water badly my friend.
Tight Lines,
Fred Telleen

Joel,
I forwarded both pics to Fish Alaska. Hopefully they will pick one or both for the article. My power went out this morning, so I decided to go fishing for a couple hours and wait for it to be restored. Caught a 15# carp on a little nymph. Like fighting a big salmon without the fast runs. I am still trying to figure them out. I can get one now and then, but they are much tougher than trout when the water is cold. A fun challenge though.

Fred,
That sounds great and I look forward to the article. I am glad you got out
for a bit to wet a line today. I bet the carp was fun to catch….no
fish can deny the Jedi!
Looking forward to a great time in July and September.
Tight Lines!
