5 Flies Update and Fishing Report

Is it May yet.... well no, but it's almost April and that's pretty close... right? Obviously I can't wait til our 5 Flies Lassen trip (43 days and counting), and with trout season right around the corner (April 28th), I'm beginning to feel a recovery from cabin fever already. While thoughts of browns and rainbows gorging themselves on a termite hatch on a warm sunny day with a snowcapped MT. Lassen prominent in the background are in my head reality is it's 35 deg with 15-20 mph winds blowing rain sideways, nope it's still not May. I have made it out to the "Holy waters" a few times and all though the catch rates have been down the ones we have brought to hand have been some pretty nice fish

and these too

Also finished another rod this one with a mid eye wrap and a decorative spiral wrap pretty cool
