Yes, folks, I was privileged to spend Saturday morning fishing alongside Eddie Rivard, of the famed and beloved Eddie Rivard Fly Fishing blog. And, true to all of the marketing hype, he is definitely an upbeat, happy guy. And a fine angler. Though I have to admit I was slightly disappointed that he didn't arrive wearing a fedora hat, well-pressed white button down shirt and carrying a Winston fly rod (see here for an explanation on that.)
I'm a bit pressed for time this morning. I'm scheduled to cook brunch here at the Mobile Hotel®, so I have a date with my Camp Chef stove and giant cast iron griddle. Yet, I couldn't leave all 3 of you wondering who showed up and what happened Saturday morning. Eddie caught many fish, I caught a couple. Later I'll explain how it was a record day for me on a Minnesota Driftless Area stream.

| Ugg. That grin could not be ANY cheesier, unless we were in Wisconsin... |
Proceed to Part II for more photos and the rest of the story.
Fishing with friends who love fly fishing and seeing both have success is indeed, "Special". Looking forward to more of this tale................
ReplyDeleteWell done Chris, you found the long lost Eddie Rivard. I hope you threw him back! By the way, that Butterstick looks wonder under your arm.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I lured him in with a brat and Pepsi. And I did let him go. My wife wouldn't let me mount him. Er, that doesn't sound right... Have him mounted?
DeleteSmiles all around! That's what it is all about.
ReplyDeleteYep, we were definitely happy with the results of the morning!
DeletePart II is currently in progress, Mel. Sometimes it fun to have company on the water.
