Drop everything and Fish
You really can't help it. There are times when you simply have to drop everything and fish. Times when powers beyond your control compel you to get on the water regardless of work deadlines, family obligations or just about anything else.
You will beg, bargain, lie and plead to get free. You will make lame excuses and strike ridiculous deals with people you love and care about. It's okay, we understand all too well.
It might be dropping water after heavy spring rains on the Olympic Peninsula. Or good light a couple days after the new moon down in the Keys. Or the first big caddis hatch after a long winter of waiting. When it's time, it's time.
That's partly why we've made a commitment to design and build our rods here on Bainbridge Island, Washington. When the steelhead are in, we can be on the river before, after or sometimes instead of work. Same for sea-run cutthroats along the island's shore, salmon in the ocean and sound, and trout in the nearby high desert. In other words, it's a pretty convenient place to live and work-especially if you live and work to fish.
The other reason, of course, is the craftsmanship and attention to detail provided by the people who live here. Sure, it would be less expensive to do business somewhere else, but when quality is the top priority, well, there just isn't any place better than Bainbridge.
Here, we're surrounded by water and fish, not to mention people who take great pride in handcrafting what we consider to be the finest fly rods in the world. All of which make it easy to be able to fish when conditions are perfect. Or for that matter, even when they aren't. See you on the water.
