All About Fishing
Fly fishing is addictive. Once you start, you'll never stop. Whether you are going to the local water hole or to Alaska, you should use a fly fishing journal to keep track of your sessions.
Fly Fishing Journals:
Fly fishing is more than just fishing, it's a peaceful, surreal activity. For many, there is almost a meditative quality to casting. For avid fly fisherman, fly fishing trips to locations such as the Battenkill River in Vermont, Green River in Utah and Bushkill Falls in Pennsylvania.
Of course the possibility of trips to Argentina, Alaska and other exotic locations can make ones eyes glassy.
For many, however, past fly fishing experiences fade from the memory with time. If you had keep a fly fishing journal, this doesn't have to be the case. There are famous instances of people keeping journals throughout time. Of course, Anne Frank's Diary is the best example. In her diary, Anne kept a running commentary of the two years her family spent hiding from the Nazis. While your fly fishing sessions will hopefully be more lighthearted, keeping a journal will let you remember them as the years pass.
A good fly fishing journal combines a number of characteristics.
- First, it should be compact.
- Second, it should have a water-resistant pages and a case to protect it from the elements.
- Third, the journal should contain blank areas to write your notes.

Cues should include:
- Who you went fishing with,
- The weather conditions,
- The fishing conditions,
- The flies you used, what worked and what didn't,
- What you caught, and
- Lodging and places to eat.

2. Information on gear and flies to take,
3. Memories to reflect upon years later, and
4. Something to pass on to your children and grandchildren.
