2025 Fly Fishing Ambitions

[BrookieChaser]

Same as other years... more tarpon fishing.

Ladies and fellas, I said last year that this would be an annual post, so what are your fly fishing ambitions in 2025? My ambitions are rather simple, and they are this: to slow down and cast more dry flies on the water. I also want to explore a handful of new streams.

That's it. If I do both of those things, I'll be a happy camper.

How about all of yinz' folks?

Get you out in the boat and put a little beat down on ya. 😂😁

We ran out of water last summer. You also mentioned trying trout on big water.... offer still stands. 😉

Catch 2 fish-



North American Arctic Char on north slope or Northern Canada.



Alvord Cutthroat phenotype from OR. It’s an extinct subspecies but some are still catching the hybridized lookalikes.



The flights for the North American Arctic char are the most expensive I’ve ever encountered.



Then I can die happy and go on these leisure trips you anglers speak of.

Sounds like your obsession with catching all these different kinds of trout is turning into a chore?

I also want to make it to Michigan and catch an arctic grayling.

The older I get the more I just thoroughly enjoy hanging out with my friends and catching a few fish. Some of my best times “fly fishing” have been on a log, bench, or porch, enjoying the stream and hanging with friends, or “spectator fishing”. Don’t get me wrong, I love to fish, but I can’t wait to do more of this this year.

I could see how such a complex endeavor, like the one Acristickid is undertaking, could be seen by some as chore like. But, I think it's a passion of his that he takes very seriously, and apparently he has the means to pursue it. I admire his determination, dedication, and drive!
