Hola Amigos -
Well my Brew Crew has fallen 4-2 in the NLCS to the St. Louis Cardinals (aka the Darth Vader of the National League). Great season for the Brewers needed a bit more pitching and a few more timely hits down the stretch. I can now turn my attention to some Steelhead and Salmon fishing. Maybe a fall Musky. Once again I will be living at the corner of faith and hope. Never gets old.
Tight lines,

Magic Numbers, Fall Skies, and Musky Dreams
Hola Amigos -
The autumnal equinox is upon us and my favorite baseball team sits with a magic number of 2! The Brew Crew is dangerously close to winning the the NL Central, securing close to 95 wins, and making the playoffs. A wonderful summer of excitement for a rapid fan like myself. I have waxed philosophical on these pages many times about the link between my baseball love and fly fishing. Both require enormous faith and hope. Both have a beautiful symmetry, require patience, and (in my mind) teach wonderful life lessons. Win or lose. Catch or get skunked. Use all your outs my friends and keep your fingers crossed for the Crew.
I dream of the following: spend an autumn day casting big flies for Musky and hustle home just in time to see the Brewers in the Fall Classic! Now that would be a dream come true! Win or lose.
Fear the Beer!
Watch your back cast and remember; it ain't over till its over!

Wisconsin River Fun
Hola Amigos -A new school year is upon us and the Buddha is BUSY! Some fish (including the always exotic gar fish my brother-in-law landed) from a recent late summer Wisconsin River outing. Nice to know that amble smallies are just down the street (25 minutes door to water). Float all day, work a sand bar, enjoy the eagles, laugh at the red bottomed skinny dippers (the only bird I can accurately ID!), and catch fish. What is not to love.
Watch your back cast!

Northwoods Vacation -vs- Fishing Trip
Hola Amigos -
The Buddha recently enjoyed a great week in the northwoods with limited connectivity (not a bad thing) alas the fly rod was not particularly busy. Biking, paddling, hiking with the Mrs, and some slow fishing on our lake made for a lazy week. Yes I said "our" lake! paying rent one week a year makes it ours. Not a total fishless week, there was one beautiful 16" smallie that bent my 8/9 weight considerably! Always one fish to bring you back.
This was a vacation; a fishing trip is planned for the fall. Trust me, I plan to cast my arm off if needed chasing smallies, pike, and maybe the elusive MUSKY!
I will get you posted (both of my readers!)
