About Time

[mizzouflyfisher]

I've been posting for a while, so it's probably about time I introduce myself. Right now I'm a 1st year law student (go ahead and start thinking of jokes, I could always use some new ones) with no idea what I want to do with my life. I've been fishing since I was 2 under the helpful watch of my dad. My true passion is trout fishing. I was stuck in the trout parks for quite a while, but within the past few years have discovered the joy of Taney and the Current. I also enjoy tying. My room in my duplex has more space devoted to fishing tackle and fly tying than everything else combined.

I also bass fish quite a bit, but not as much as I used to. Trout fishing is followed closely by Muskie fishing. If you thought trout fishing was expensive and addictive, try muskie fishing. Holy poop. Those $20 jerkbaits add up quickly. I spend several weekends a year on lake Kincaid in Illinois and take a yearly trip to Lake of the Woods in Canada. Take a trip out to Wyoming just about every year also. My dream trip was a 9 day unguided float trip down the Kanektok River in Alaska a couple of years ago. 6 guys, 92 miles of river, thousands of fish, only seeing 6 other people in 9 days = awesome. That trip will be repeated in a couple of years. This summer I'm going back to Canada. I'm also thinking about moving to Wyoming for the summer. Just trying to figure out what I want. If I don't move to Wyoming, I will at least be taking off and driving around for 2 or 3 weeks fishing the rivers out there that I haven't fished yet but are on my list. You can live off Ramen noodles and peanut butter and jelly for 3 weeks, right. The only thing I need to figure out is the shower situation.

That's me in a nutshell.
