Shut Out!!!

Well, the Bills were shut out today which ended their playoff hope. This season is going to end with the same pattern as we have seen before. A late playoff push followed by a couple loses to finish the year with. I feel our record is much better than we are. We did not beat a winning team all year. That does not say playoffs. But the part that killed me the most this afternoon was the dump pass that our playoff hopes died with, at least take your shot!!! Thank goodness Steve isn't going to be calling the plays next year. On a light note the sabres have won 3-4 and are starting to get things rolling again.

Beaver Creek Rainbow!!!!



Matt and I decided to head west to Beaver Creek this past weekend in the pursuit of larger trout. We arrive to find ourselves freezing and barely able to tie on our flies. After a struggle to get ourselves moving we scouted out the creek, and by this I mean spook every trout we saw. However, we did see a couple of fish that we bigger than anything we had seen before in the state, which warmed us right up. The trout in this stream seem to blend perfectly with the green water and even when we saw a fish it always seemed to disappear without even moving more than 6 inches. After a few hours of fishless hiking we decided to head back to the most promising area we had come across. A few minutes later I had hooked into my best inland fish to date. The only thing Matt had to say after seeing the fish was "What tippet do you have on there?" Well Matt netting the bow for me saving my from a 5x heartbreak. Oh the pleasures of Limestone!!!
