Lucas Carroll ties up in the morning light |
Every once in a while you get that rare opportunity to spend
some quality time with people you haven’t seen in a while doing some of the
things you are both equally passionate for.
In my case it was fly fishing with my good friend LucasCarroll.
Lucas is one of those guys that you could sit around and
talk with for hours and not realize it’s been hours. He also has a passion for
fly fishing and fly tying which is one of the reasons that it probably never
seems like we really ever spend that much time on the phone when we talk.
Ideas on fly tying, techniques, hatches, bugs, timing the run, fish, etc, fly
around the room like a super hatch just popped off the water. And even though
it may seem chaotic at best to those who would be outside looking in on a
conversation like this, it actually has a purpose – A purpose that is only
fully realized when we are on the stream.
A recent trip back East from his newly planted roots in
California not only gave us an opportunity to share in some great conversation
and ideas, but even better, put them good use on the stream.

Who needs a net when you have the hands of Lucas Carroll |
So we pulled out our plan “B” and went with it for the rest
of the morning.
Another wild brown for Lucas |
This fish was a blast to catch on the 2 weight |
Make sure to check out Lucas Carroll’s wonderful photographywebsite. He should have some amazing photos coming soon from his trip to WNY.
Safe travels Lucas……see you on the stream!

The golden wild brown color of this fish looks so cool. Just like the color of the mahi mahi. Been catching big sizes of those in Gamefishing Vanuatu. Now I'm excited to try anothe fishing adventure.
Thanks for the visit Jeffrey! And those fish in Vanuatu are amazing....someday soon I would love to do more saltwater fishing.
