The dudes @ Dudewater like to enjoy a cold brew on the river every now and then, so this past winter we decided to brew our own... with a little help from the guys and gals at The Brew Kettle. It was fun and the brew was delicious, so we decided to brew another batch in March, this time an American Pale Ale.
To my delight, I came across a cache of untapped Dudewaters this evening. Unfortunately they had taken a turn for the worst and were pretty much undrinkable. Guess it's time to brew again...
While Brett was out in Wyoming feeding dry flies to wild trout, I was stuck here in the Buckeye State with my thumb up my ass, on the verge of commiting piscatorial suicide. Somehow I ended up catching the carp bug, an illness commonly found in midwestern fly fishers with nothing better to do than to fish for giant scuzzy water rats.
To their credit, carp have proven much more challenging to take on flies than I thought they'd be. I've definitely had to earn the few hookups I've gotten this summer.
I've even come to believe that carp are beautiful in their own right. Rainbow-what?
Well, let's not kid ourselves; Carp aren't going to make me forget about trout anytime soon, but I have had a lot of fun chasing them this summer. Maybe next summer I'll get serious about creek chubs...
So what is a dude move? Rolling up your truck window on your buddy's rod, forgetting lunch in the car, not calling in your shuttle, not remembering until you're halfway through your float and out of cell range, missing the scoop on a toad, or...
PS3, The iPhone, Stepehen Strasburg...... Dudewater.
The launch of this blog has been heavily anticipated. So much so that there's even been some slander flying around the interwebs from disgruntled would-be "dudes." Originally our plan was to have a series of well-thought-out blogs put together in advance to ensure that we could provide consistent content. But on second thought, eff-it, we'll do it live!
Dudes, prepare yourselves. If you fish, often, with a fly rod, close to home, far from home, because you want to, because you have to, because you need to, because you can't not, or for no good reason at all, you'll probably get it. If not, don't worry, they'll be some stuff on here for you too...
