2006 Trips

Classic Salmon fly a la Muzeroll

Sunday, December 3, 2006 was another great day of tying at the Annika Rod and Fly war room.  The fly for the day was a feather-wing classic Atlantic Salmon fly, the Maine Game Warden.  Sensei Ed Muzeroll was again at the top of his game as he lead his troops to the promised land, a completed work of art.  Lady Di again worked her magic in the culinary department with a lunch of biscuits and chicken corn chowder and for dessert, warm ginger bread!  It doesn't get any better than this!  Click here for the rest of the story.  .

Registered Maine Guide Marshall DeMott was recently photographed while fishing in Florida donning (no pun intended) his lucky Annika Rod and Fly hat.  Oh, nice fish too Marsh! (Jack Crevalle and Snook)

Great Day on the mighty Penobscot!


Jim Hayes and I spent a simply marvelous day on the water with Captain John Rogers of Backcountry Guide Service on Sunday, June 25, 2006.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the fish were VERY cooperative.  Top water action at it's best!  Click on the picture of John for more pictures.

Allan Townsend won the 4 week fly tying class donated by Annika Rod and Fly in a recent Bangor Daily News Newspapers in Education auction.  BDN Columnist John Holyoke will provide the comic relief for the classes (John's words not mine!).
Congratulations to Allan and thanks for supporting this worthwhile cause.

Jim, John and Don

The weather finally cleared and the water drop a little and we met up with Captain John Rogers of Backcountry Guide Service.  Jim used the ol' favorite, Sneaky Pete and Don used his Lady Di Frog and the fish couldn't resist.  Jim used a 6 weight floating line on his 9' 6 wt St. Croix rod that he built.  Don used his favorite bass combo, a custom built 9' 7 wt and an 8 wt floating line.  Click on the photo of Jim and John for more exciting pictures.

 

Chandler Pond Outfitters
November 26, 2006
Mike and Don

On a beautiful November day we accepted Terry Pratt's invitation to his annual open house at Chandler Pond Outfitters in Winthrop.  What a day, great tiers, great food, great bargain and great hosts.  Thanks Terry and all for a great day.  I also got a few pictures of my Sensei, Master Muzeroll.

You want me to tie without a vise?  What are you friggin nuts?

Okay, okay,  I'll give it a try.  How do you hold the damn thread?

You show anyone that picture and I will mess you up, Grasshopper!
