We're back online and ready to go! Due to the monster storm that hit, well, most of the country, we were without power on Wednesday and then yesterday I spent all day trying to bend jQuery programs to my will, with mixed success. So by the time I got home the last thing I wanted to stare at was another computer screen.
So the fly of the week is a little late; I apologize. But I hope that the wait was worth it.

Dusty Rods
I'm not sure about you, but here in PA we have been getting snowfalls every week, temperatures averaging in the low 20's-high teen's..... in a word, not very productive for anything, let alone fly fishing.
Fly of the Week: Olive Midge Dry
Concluding our Fly of the Week Midge - o - mania is the adult version, the dry fly. Like all of the midge patterns, I would keep these to size 16 and under.

Talk about Live Streaming
I would say that Zachariah Perry kind of has it made. He has a live stream of a stream.
Perry is the Reed's Canyon restoration specialist, and as such he has a live feed from a camera placed in Reed's Canyon's Crystal Springs Creek, in Southeast Portland.
The camera is a make shift affair, made from little more than a security camera and a plastic box. It lacks significant detail, but Perry has the pleasure of watching all manner of fish, otters, ducks swim past if little "peep hole."
The camera is used to reiterate the success of several restoration projects in the area to help the local steelhead and salmon populations.

YouTube - Trawler kill thousands of stripers at Oregon Inlet
While I can't say I agree with the music selection (let's just say poor taste) this is a visual reminder of what negligent commercial fishing can do.
Fly of the Week: Olive Midge Emerger
Continuing with our Midge series, the next stage of the insect that we'll work on is the emerger. This is when the midge nymph, tired of being a bottom feeding mud grubber, decides it's going to make a break for the wide world.

New Digs
Just a quick update, that I started a new job in the Web Dept of Messiah College.
The best part? Yellow Beeches creek runs right through the middle of the campus, not two minutes from my office. I haven't had a chance to really check it out, but I guess we all know what I will be doing on my lunch hour. : D

Cabela's CGR Series
I know what's on my...... Groundhog's Day list.(I think that's the next holiday.) Cabela's 50th Anniversary CGR Series fiberglass fly rod.
They were just released earlier this week, and look pretty sharp for a rod that's still under the $100 mark, if just under.
