It is the time of year when we return to the hills and seek out the smaller streams. Over the years, I have come to love this type of fishing over all others.

On these smaller venues I can fish my light weight bamboo rods that add beauty and tradition to the sport. It is now warm enough that waders are no longer needed. A lucky fishing hat, a long sleeve shirt (to keep the bugs off and prevent sunburn), a pair of shorts and a pair of wading shoes make the perfect fashion statement for small stream fishing.
