I spent the day getting to know new places on the Rabbit River (Jänisjoki) in Tuupovaara. It is a beautiful region with nice huts to spend a night in.

A river flows through a spruce and birch forest. The sky is light blue with thin cloud cover.

An icy river flows calmly through a birch forest.

E2 904/4, used and old, but beautiful fly rod
I like this color, I don’t need it, as I have something similar (VXP 4 wt 9 ft) but I wanted an E2
E2 is lighter in my hand, slightly stiffer, and responsive

Two similar fly rods are on a wooden table. The top one is a Sage, VXP 4wt 9ft rod, its color is dark moss green. The bottom one is a Scott E2, 4wt 9ft rod with dark green color.

From a morning walk by the soccer fields

A view of a lake on a cloudy day, with a forest lining the distant shore. The trees are reflected on the water, their images shimmering gently in the wind-stirred surface.

No fishing this weekend

A view of a lake surrounded by woods on a partly sunny day. The wind ripples across the water’s surface, creating a shimmering effect that reflects the surrounding landscape.

Valley Creek, PA

I won’t have time for fly fishing next weekend since my son has a soccer tournament, but I might try to find some nearby water for quick fly fishing or at least stroll around some creeks

A small creek winds through the woods, forming a horseshoe shape in this section. The water is calm, reflecting the trees and a partly sunny sky.

Crum Creek, PA

I had a full weekend of activities, but winding down with fly fishing brings a peaceful Sunday. When my mind is calm and clear, there are no lost flies, no tangled line, and no snags on trees

A small creek flows through a suburban wooded area. The right bank features a green grassy area. A red-covered bridge spans the creek in the back under a partly sunny sky, and the water mirrors the surrounding landscape.

Although the weather was nice yesterday, I only saw one other person in this nature preserve

Two trees from opposite banks lean toward each other, crossing in the middle with the woods and partly sunny sky in the background. Their reflections are clearly visible across the creek’s surface.

Every good fishing camp has a good camp dog. I think it's a law.

Their jobs include greeting boats when tieing up, checking out the catch, bear alarm, jumping in the water for no reason, going cabin to cabin to look in the windows to see if anyone is there, begging for something to eat if someone is inside, and pushing in the door and sleeping in the cabin if they feel like it.

Pickering Creek, PA

Looks like I have time to fly fish tomorrow
In March, I have to drive a bit farther to reach creeks that are open for fishing. While those spots are generally considered better, I still prefer fishing closer to home, even if the conditions aren’t ideal for fishing

A small creek flows through the woods under the cloudy sky. The left bank is flat with some trees standing, while the right side has hills lined with trees that are reflected on the water.

Pickering Creek, PA

I saw some trout and big White Suckers here I didn’t catch any, which didn’t bother me, until I heard, as I was heading to my car, that someone had landed a White Sucker on a fly That angler knows fish My competitive side was starting to surface

A view of a small creek flows through the woods on a cloudy day. The trees are bare. A riffle in the background feeds a pool, which turns into another riffle, feeding another pool, followed by a final riffle in the foreground.

I haven’t caught a trout from this spot for quite some time, but I know they’re there, which motivates me to keep trying

A small stream winds through the woods, its clear water has deep green hues. Rugged boulders line the right bank.

I like this area. Popular with dog walkers, so not ideal for fishing But there are times when there is nobody, and I can fully enjoy fishing If dogs are enjoying the water, I simply enjoy the scenery

A small stream flows through the rocky terrain, flanked by cliffs on the left and a flatter right bank. Above, a road with brown guardrails runs through the wooded hills under the cloudy sky.

My favorite spot
While I don't always catch fish here, I keep trying, and more often than not, no fish
The process is far more important than the outcome. But occasionally,
a nice catch

A small creek winds through the woods, its swift current crashing against a boulder before veering right to flow around it. The stream continues to flow under the cloudy sky.

I used to drive up to two hours one way for fly fishing. But as life has got busier, 45 minutes one way has become my max, even on weekends Thankfully, there are still plenty of great spots nearby to enjoy

A small creek winds through the leafless woods under a partly sunny sky. The late afternoon sun illuminates the landscape, casting a warm glow on the bare tree branches, the water, and the creek banks in shades of bright brown.

An urban creek running alongside the noisy I-476. But I felt quiet

A quiet pond

A view of a small lake surrounded by woods. The hills of the bank are reflected on the water creating dark green hues. Trees and the blue sky are also reflected on the water, and the lake bed in the foreground is clearly visible.

Little Valley Creek, PA
- tributary of the Valley Creek

I rarely wear chest waders, as I mostly prefer hip waders for convenience
But, yesterday, I wore waist waders, which are my favorite
What are your favorite?
