Another CTD video for your viewing pleasure...

Finally got my hands on a new laptop this week! You should start seeing more frequent posts and the overall look of the page should change from time to time. Also, I finally sat down last night and started going through some GoPro footage that we were able to recover from my old laptops hard drive. Look for a few more CTD videos in the coming weeks. I'm gonna start editing the footage from Montana this weekend....stay tuned for that!

The following video is from this past summer on a weekend trip to the White/Norfork Rivers. Check it out and let me know what you guys think!!



Until next time, keep chasing the dream....

Remember that half a chicken I mentioned...

The guys have been busy at the vise, knocking out big nasty bugs left and right for our upcoming trip to the White River on Feb 1-3. Everyone is excited and fired up to get back out on the river and chase some big brown trout fishes...

My phone has been blowing up with texts, phone calls, and Facebook messages about the upcoming weekend. Lots of big social plans are being made for the post fishing activities. I somehow foresee some shenanigans taking place at some point...

This should be an awesome weekend. I can't freaking wait...

Anyways, here are your moms missing chickens and pet rabbits...

Chi Wulff hits the nail on the head...

I have been following the Chi Wulff blog for sometime now. It's a great blog, always posting up great pics, the latest videos, etc. Every now and then, they post up something that hits home and makes you think.

Check them out on the interwebs sometime and show them some love...

These guys are really onto something here...

Ending the season with a bang!

We have been grinding our way through hunting season this winter but we have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. This past weekend, a couple of us got out and about in SW Oklahoma to chase a few feathered and furry animals...

While I was hitting up the wheat fields for ducks and geese, DonnyB stirred up a couple of coyotes on further south. It was a good weekend for both of us. We shot limits of honkers of all kinds along with bunches of cottontops (wigeon). Not a bad way to end our hunting season for the winter.

Now it's time to focus on the upcoming streamer season over on our tailwaters in Arkansas. Everyone is excited and ready to go. Time to chuck and duck...

Until next time, keep chasing the dream...

Time to scratch the itch...

Well duck season is finally winding down for us. Just a few more weeks left for us to chase the winged SOBs. With this time period, we start getting the "itch". We start checking daily water flows and generation schedules, reading fishing reports and blogs, and watching the latest fishing videos to hit the interwebs.

Following this, the guys start dusting off the tying desks and filling their vises with hooks to wrap feathers around. I'm not talking size 18 hooks to tie midges...I'm talking big f'ing hooks to wrap half a chicken around.

I have rallied the troops and got the 1st "big" fishing trip planned for an expedition to the tailwaters of Arkansas in hopes of sticking a few big brown trout faces.

Streamer season is upon us out here...

And I'm not talking your grandfathers streamers. The wooly bugger can kiss my ass...

We r preparing...

Another year gone by...

As I sit here in the recliner as its raining and sleeting outside, I realize that it's December 31st and another year has snuck by on me. Time sure does fly when you're having fun.

What a year 2012 has been for us. We have caught plenty of fish, even a few big ones here and there. The crew and I made the pilgrimage west to Big Sky Country and made a life long dream come true. Duck season has been a success so far this year even with the drought. Plenty of birds have made the plunge.

With 2013 just around the corner, we looking forward to finishing out duck season strong. Then we will transition into our winter streamer fishing where we will go on the hunt for our big brown trout. From there, who knows...so much to look forward to for 2013.

I would like to thank everyone who follows the blog and enjoys our adventures. Please leave any thoughts or comments for us on what u have thought about 2012.

Again, thanks for following...

Keep chasing the dream...

The Wise man does it again...

Well, it's that time again. At least 4 times a year, ol' Brian Wise over at Fly Fishing the Ozarks throws out some visual goodness for all of us to see. The new "Fall 2012" video delivers with some awesome fishing from the NFOW, the White, and Dry Run Creek. For all of you out there that follow CTD but you're not a "Ozark native", watch all of Brian's videos and u will see what our area is all about...

On a side note, pay very close attention and you will see The Bum himself making a cameo appearance in this video...

Thanks Brian...
