Featured BlogBuddy - Dave From Fishn' Dave
Well, here it is August, and, July is gone! Colorado had some definite rains come during the month so fishing was hit and miss for me. A couple of hours here, a couple more hours there, and so it went. Trying to get out in the best time of day for fishing the ponds is tough enough, but, when you are fighting the thunder storms and lightening strikes, that is whole other thing all together.Anyway, time for me to give a salute to another of my BlogBuddy friends who make this blog a fun place for me to hang out when I am not fishing. Say hello to Dave from Fishn' Dave. I have been an avid reader of Dave's blog for quite awhile now and have really spent some quality time on his site reading and learning more about warm water fly fishing. I have commented on Dave's blog regularly, and he in return, has been very willing to share information on fly gear, fly patterns, and fish species, or whatever questions I may have. I have never met Dave personally, but, think I would sure like too. We have a lot in common as far as our approach to warm water fly fishing. Dave's blog focuses on the fish and waters/ponds of Iowa that hold Bass, Crappie, Bluegill, Catfish etc.Enough already, right! Dave certainly had had a great season of warm water fly fishing to this point in time. It is easy to see how Dave's has become one I look to reading as soon as he publishes a new post.
Dave is also a fine fly tyer also. I have picked his brain on fly patterns for awhile. From Streamers for Crappie and Bass, too, Poppers for surface fishing for Bass and Bluegill.Here are a couple of patterns I have picked Dave's brain about.
Let me wrap up this post by saying I am proud to feature Dave as my Next time that you are checking out other blogs stop on over to Dave's Blog and let him know that the Pond Stalker sent you his way. If you like warm water fly fishing you won't be disappointed.
I've just realized that I read more warmwater blogs than trout blogs. I think you're starting to rub off on me.
ReplyDeleteI hope so. I am fishing a bunch more warm water than I am cold water, so nice to know I am making a little progress with my Brother.................................
DeleteBTW, spent the afternoon fishing Big Thompson in the canyon. Wish I had a fish story to tell everyone. Beautiful afternoon, though.
Thanks for the support, Mel! :) I do enjoy your comments and questions on my blog. Like everyone else, I'm still (and always will be) learning as I go, which is something I really like about fishing and especially flyfishing.
ReplyDeleteIt was my pleasure, Dave. I have enjoyed reading your posts and commenting and then getting the feedback from you. To me, one of the best things about a good blog is being able to share in communication with the other blogger. It's that sense of community that I love. You are right, too, Dave. Fly fishing is definitely a learn as you go activity. Thanks, again!

ReplyDeleteI am glad you featured Dave's blog; he lands a ton of fish and has some awesome places he fishes. He told me he has access to numerous small waters near his home, in fact they are in walking distance, one lucky fisherman. thanks for sharing
Thanks, Bill. I really have enjoyed reading his blog and sharing information with him. Featuring his blog was the least I could do. Yes, he does fish a lot of ponds and small waters close too his home. Very similar to my situation so that would be another reason I enjoy his blog. As always, thanks for being one fine BlogBuddy, Bill.
DeleteSounds like a cool blog. I'm going to have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteJuan, I think you would enjoy reading Dave's blog. He has some knowledge and fly patterns, too, that you could put to good use in California.
DeleteDave has a great blog and has been very very helpful to me over the years. Great guy and an awesome blog.
ReplyDeleteBryan,
DeleteThanks for seconding my opinion of Dave and his blog. I have found him most willing to share, just like you, and that is a good thing......
