The Mill boys continue to crank out good work. In fact, to me, it's been a little bit better. Why? Because the people in it don't fish for bonefish, tarpon, permit and redfish. These are folks north of the Mason Dixon line. ( I'll throw Sarah Garnder in there as well.) The last three guests have been Gardner, Popovics and now Finn). It kind of sounds to me like The Fly Fishing Show in Edison trifecta.

disaster and he somehow got it out on his own. I don't think it would've looked to passers-by with me trying to unhook the plug from his backside. The other potential for injury came early on when I saw that Joe was sporting his New Balance 608's which aren't the best with low water and exposed mossy

now holding at 46 and I know they will drop but I'm just wondering if they'll hit 40 or below. Didn't land a fish but it's two days in a row where I had a big smallmouth bass attempt to grab my larger fly. This one wanted it but just got a faceful of Squimpish fibers in its mouth just shy of the 5/0 Clouser hook.

It was a beautiful bronzed fish and I was surprised but the coloring as usually they are more darker this time of year. I busted out the 10 weight with that Pop lip fly I tied, the one that
