What's new with Anew

A shift in season is near!

Yakima River day floats - March 24th - 31st

Its time to break out those fly rods and dust of the dry flies, late March is great time to fish Washington's Yakima River and the Skwala Stone fly hatch.  Join us for a day float and some exciting dry fly fishing.

Notes from the Field

Sunset on Blake Island

by Adrienne Sherred

February was filled with icy cold temperatures and crystal blue skies, a stark contrast from January's blustery grasp.   The clear weather window inspired us to head out of the mountains and into the salty waters of Puget Sound, for an afternoon of lounging on the quiet shores of Blake Island.

So how was the paddle? - find out here

 

 

Experience Says

Keeping motivated mid winter can be hard

Motivation in mid winter can be hard to come by.  Often I'm lured outside by glorious sun and bright blue skies, only to find frigid temps that send me scurrying back to the warmth of indoors.  What's really hard is knowing that the next day I could awake to mild temperatures and sideways rain, which is sure to snuffing out what little motivation I have. In times like these I find myself stagnant and looking for inspiration. One story that has always provided me with the motivation to beat those winter blues follows.
