Welcome to New Readers

Here we are at the beginning of summer. We are going full speed ahead.
Earlier this week, we went rafting at the U.S. National Whitewater Center near Charlotte, NC and had a ball with a couple of our grandsons. We did the class I and II rapids first and then did the III, IV and V. Alex fell out once and another time we were trying a maneuver in the heavy water and five of us were thrown out. It was a ball!

If you are a bow hunter, now is the time to sharpen those skills and be ready for the Whitetail Deer season. It opens in September here in South Carolina.

Have you tried the new G5, Montec broadheads? I just bought some and they look great. If they work as well as they look, I'll be pleased with them. I bought some of the small game heads also. If you have used these, give me your comments. I'd be interested in your feedback.

The spring trout fishing in upstate SC and western NC has been fantastic. We have caught and released loads of Rainbows, Browns and Brookies. Check out my website www.flyfishnorthamerica.com for some neat information on fly fishing and some great photos.

I also have a site dedicated more to writing and photography (www.lwoodrowross.com). Check out my novel "Return to Oak Hill".

We are getting excited about heading to Montana for three weeks again. We hope to have some great fishing. We'll shoot tons of photos and keep you updated on our progress. Some of the grandsons will be there for a week and will do some fly fishing also.

We will offer guided deer hunts at Lonesome Trail Lodge this fall. If you are interested in information and photos, go to www.flyfishnorthamerica.com for details.

We offer some guiding for fishing, custom tied flies, wading/hiking staffs, instruction booklets on fly fishing, travel and photography.

Save us on your favorites and check back frequently for updates.

Be a good steward of our natural resources.

Your friend,
