Was that guy in front of you flapping his wings?

Indeed, you were.

Reminds me of Jack Nicholson flapping his "wings" on the back of Peter Fonda's chopper, while the Holy Modal Rounders were singing "If You Want To Be A Bird" in Easy Rider! But, I'm really old! IslandJim

I wasn't sure you saw that. I got a little exuberant; that was my first return to PM in several years.

It's my job to see ... AND speaking of see? Here is a new video dropping now -

I would say, this guy is the "anti" Jack Nicholson, but maybe he was channeling that morning?

Glad to be the eyes on the prize!

It was one of those days where I had to prospect to find a pattern on the Arroyo Colorado, TEXAS, but I could never find one. But we do get a long look at the lower third of the Arroyo, plus some finger-wagging lecturing along the way ... I guess I was just in one of those "moods" as time was getting so short!

For your holiday watching - this is an informational video on the Adolph Thomae Park near the mouth of the Arroyo Colorado.

Thanks for the Adolph Tomae Park tutorial. Arroyo City is a well-kept secret. You didn't go into details about the camping facilities, which are not deluxe, but better than a lot of places, and affordable. The boat ramps are super-crowded on Sat & Suns, due to the cheap annual Cameron County Park rates. But, you can always get to a boat launch. I spent a night in my truck camper at one ramp, but didn't get much sleep, as fishermen were coming and going at all hours, despite the posted gate hours. The proximity to the LLM, and the great fishing is almost unbeatable. Plus, Chilly Willy's! I just wish there were affordable "fisherman's cabins" in Arroyo City. Still researching that, and will advise any progress. Thanks again, IslandJim

Here was the last video, before coming back to the Fish Camp North (aka. he double hockey sticks heat). Maybe next week will be a bit better than April!! Nothing quite like having to leave right when the fish are turning on, is there?

We got lucky today, and the wind didn't kick in until early afternoon. Hard to believe it's cooler here than it is in DFW! Speckled trout are still eating - here's the story: https://texasflycaster.com/monday-evening-update/


26.5 inch speckled trout


My speck - a little more than half the size of Jim's!

Another fine week on the LLM. Hoping that ratred grows into a great redfish someday!

Still trying to finish editing all the content from the Borderlands. Almost time to go back down! When school's on for the kids!
