This is a story about Jack’s Black Drum from about ten years ago. We were on a club outing on the Banana River in Florida with most of us two to a canoe. The group found a school of tailing black drum and Jack managed to hook into one that I got on video with […]
What a Difference a Day Makes!
This post is a sequel to the post “WInter Dry Fly Fishing at it’s Best”. So last night after posting the story referenced above, I got all excited about returning to the same spot the next day, Sunday. That was this morning as it is now Sunday night. I even had the same dinner tonight […]
My Concerts – My Music
This post talks about all the concerts I’ve been to. Concerts, primarily rock, have been a part of my life since I was a teen. I remember well, getting an invite to go to a concert when I was just a sophomore in high school. I was second chair trombone in concert band and first […]
Winter Dry Fly Fishing at it’s Best!
Just got off the water, showered, ate. It is Saturday, January 15th. I worked quite a lot this week and came up to the Teton Valley on a Wednesday, had busy work days Thursday and Friday. Headed out when the temperature was 12 in Victor. Made it to the Henry’s Fork around noon. Decided to […]
Fly Tying
My relationship with fly tying is a love/hate. Most of the time I feel very much like a klutz. All thumbs. I’m an amateur, even though I have been tying for over 10 years, but it is largely because I don’t dedicate enough time to it. It is like anything, you have to put in […]
Music On Main – Victor, Idaho
Music on Main is one of the pillars that defines the small, mountain town culture that is Victor, Idaho. We have the foundation to thank for this, and the sponsors – Richard & Claire, who funded it, along with local sponsors. It is great that these concerts are free to the public and family oriented. […]
Quick and Easy Cabin Chili
OK, my Green Chili recipe takes awhile to prepare, however this quick recipe can be done in a little over a half hour. Like most chili, it just gets better the longer it simmers. Ingredients: 4 Cans Ranch Beans w/ Jalapeños (you can use beans w/o jalapenos for less heat) 2lbs Ground Turkey (ground beef […]
Bolderado’s Green Chili Recipe
Most of my dinner recipes are quick to prepare, because I make them after a day of fishing and I don’t want to eat late. This is a recipe that i cook on a non-fishing day, because it takes awhile to prepare. The advantage is, it is an easy microwave heat-up and will last for […]
Sailing the BVS’s 2021
My wife and I love to sail. We developed this passion thanks to my bro and his wife. We are fortunate to have sailed with them a few times as their guests. The last trip was this past fall to the British Virgin Islands. We sailed out of Tortola and we had brief stay in […]
The Tao of Fly Fishing
For many fly fishers, myself included, there is an unmistakeable connection to nature that keeps us coming back. This can be true regardless of whether or not we catch fish. That connection is strongest for me whenI’m standing in a river. Water creates a connection to nature, flowing water, even more so. The Tao can […]
