Greetings from Jurassic Lake

El Paskador reports from way south of the border.

Hey Brian,

Jeff was struggling a bit one day, so I busted out my extra "Reel
Pure" hat for him. Took just one cast to change his luck from bad to
really bad.. Just wanted to share the exciting news, and feel free to
pass this along to the Chum Nation. Perhaps you could charge a bit
extra for the hats now. I know I'll be giving them to my BEST fishing
companions from now on.

Dearest Brian,

Shortly after the "Rock" incident a local Shaman passed by and for 13
pesos and 7 1/2 beers we got him to Bless the hat. Within minutes of
him finishing his last beer (It seems Shamans' prefer Shot-gunning
them) the hat became almost magical. Fish On, and on and on and
on!!! And did I mention this was Jurassic Lake? And did I mention
this rainbow was about average in size? Did I mention we landed a few
around 20? You'd hate it........

Yeah I hate it alright...

The life cycle of an insect as seen through the eyes and hands of a fly fisherman.

Late summer and the river is low. The steelhead are gathering at the tailwaters.

There is a hatch and the fish are rising up like birds...
