Hello, I decided to give this blogging a try if for nothing else to log my time spent fishing or outdoors in general. I picked Salado Creek Fisherman as the title as it is a nice little creek close to the house that I frequent. This creek is where I caught my first fish and where I learned how to fish. It has luckily lasted the years and not suffered through the development that it could have being located in a large city. In fact, many of the areas my father and I used to walk and fish have now been turned into parks with some walking trails. This is a little bitter-sweet, as while I like that others may get to enjoy this area as I have, I do sometimes miss having it almost to ourselves. With others having such easy access to the areas though it makes it more likely for people to leave their trash and other debris around.
Well I wanted to add that this morning I had planned to do some wade fly-fishing at the creek in the area of the picture posted above. Rain was the furthest thing from my mind today until I saw that it was coming down this morning and after verifying there was no flash-flood risk I went anyways. A great lesson was learned today though, one I had learned previously but always seem to forget- always have bug spray with you. Now I had bug spray in my other fishing bag but today I brought my vest so I could fit my old camera in it and neglected to bring the bug spray. Well these nasty critters were buzz bombing me big time in a way that Texas mosquitoes seem to be great at and between them and the rain not letting up I was run off of the creek. The rain I could live with, but I'm not going to stand there all morning being a meal to mosquitoes. The good thing about it is I got home and started the page, I hope to have weekly or more frequent updates and will discuss fishing along this creek, Cibolo Creek, and a few other places. The discussion here may not all be fishing related, I may talk about my walk along the creek or other outdoor related things going on. Thank you for looking.
