Seeds That Sprout

Seeds that Sprout 1

Our pursuits of catching that trophy fish are focused out on the water.  Yet, those dreams would not be possible without healthy habitat within and surrounding the fishery.

 

This weekend began with an evening of fly fishing in the yak along the eastern shore of Mobile Bay.  Then, thoughts turned inland to participate with my family and Cub Scout pack in the 26th annual Alabama Coastal Cleanup.

 

Spending a few hours removing debris from the marsh not only benefits the watershed, but also plants seed in young lives that sprouts excitement to care for the environment God blessed us with.

Bream Brings New Life!

Realization of a torn shoulder labrum six months ago put fishing on hold for awhile.   Recovery is led by maintaining a dedicated workout regimen.  The eventual reward is long needed therapy on the water.

Leon, a friend and fellow Eastern Shore Fly Fishers’ club member, invited me out to fish for some Mobile Bay area bream and bass some time ago.  Clearance from the doctor gave opportunity to take Leon up on the generous offer to explore a local tidal tributary together.

It’s amazing what a couple hours of casting a fly in beautiful surroundings will do for the mind, soul, and body!
