2021 was an eventual year on the waters. Travelled over 10,000 miles with a fly rod in hand, fished in 6 states, caught 15 different species on the fly, including 3 new species to the list, and completed another native trout challenge. West Virginia provided some great floats with good friends chasing smallmouth bass and floating for musky on the fly. Pennsylvania as always brought some screaming steelhead trout in the Erie tributaries. Utah brought multiple trips and lots of miles chasing 4 species of trout and some of the most challenging waters I have ever fished. Wyoming as always is such an awesome state full of wild trout and scenic beauty you can't help fishing and traveling in and around. Arizona was a state that caught me by surprise a state you think of as being desert and dry offers so much potential and some unique fisheries you really will not find anywhere else. New Mexico was awesome remote and didn't offer nearly enough time to explore. I am always reluctant to set goals for a fishing year but I always look forward to spending time on the water with as many friends and new friends as possible. This year I fished a lot solo but if it wasn't for so many awesome people and advice it would have been a crazy struggle I couldn't have conquered the miles and fish I did if it wasn't for them. Looking for to 2022 and visiting even more states and crossing off a few more new species I didn't get to catch this year and finishing up a few more challenges. Looking forward to a year spent on the water hopefully with good friends and tons of fish! Here is to a great 2021 on the waters of the US!
