Brookville Fishing Report 2/25/15

          It's been while since I've been over to Brookville Tailwaters and also put up a fishing report.  I found some time today to get out and did well.

A pretty sight 

My Sunday - Hunting & Tying

   Despite the snow, my Dad and I decided to go out and do some bird hunting.  We had this day on the calendar for a while and didn't want to re-schedule.  It ended up being one of the most exciting hunts I've had.  Since the snow was a little frozen on the top, the birds couldn't burrow like they would have liked and they did a lot of running and moving around.  We hunted Mike, who is a Shags Run setter and he did great.  Mike has a great nose, listens well and tracked the birds fantastically. After the cold morning, I came home and continued to stock my spring fly box with some bait-fish patterns for the Hybrid Bass.  It was a good day.  Enjoy the pictures!

If you look closely at this picture you can see the dog (on the right) and the bird half way up on the far left.

Lamson Remix

    D&H is excited to have new reel from Lamson/Waterworks just in time for the coming fishing season.  Here is what Lamson has to say about the new reel:
          A fusion between the free-form structures of a cast spool and the mechanical integrity of a CNC-machined case, Remix is a hybrid. The case, CNC-machined here in the U.S. from 6061 bar-stock aluminum, delivers maximum structural rigidity and durability all wrapped in a harder, brighter finish.  The spool, pressure cast with radiused compound curves, near zero-radius inside corners and a precise fit and finish, delivers both value and sex appeal. Remix brings together the best of CNC machining and pressure-cast technologies to deliver an unprecedented level of quality for a bit more than $150.  In addition to the US-made case, all critical drag components are CNC-machined here in the U.S. Remix reels are assembled in Boise by our skilled and experienced team.  The result of this Remix?  High performance, reliability, quality assurance and physical appeal.

Filson Westlake Jacket

  We just received a full size run (S-XXL) of the Filson Westlake jacket.  This piece has been a very popular piece for us.  It is a mid-weight, water repellent, flannel lined jacket.  Perfect for all, but the coldest Cincinnati days.  Filson updated the fit and added several pockets (including an inner security pocket) to make this jacket at home either in a bar in OTR or underneath a strap vest at Shags Run. Stop by and try one on.

Bird Hunting with Friends

    This year has been a ton of fun.  Rye has progressed so well and is hunting a lot like a mature dog at this point despite being a year and half old.  She has a many lessons to learn, but we have accomplished a lot.  One of the best things about hunting this year has been the chance to hunt with many different friends.  I am really proud whenever I can share Shags Run with new people.

Getting excited for spring fishing.

 Can't wait to start fishing for these guys again.  Come into the shop and get geared up for these awesome, hard fighting fish.  Also, don't forget about our Hybrid Party coming up March 26th, from 6-8 p.m.  Thanks for looking, click "MORE" below and check out some pictures from past seasons.
