Man, I wish we could get more high water!!!
Not really, but I've been cancelling guides more than doing them.
With any luck things are back to normal.. with the rivers.
I've had a second shot, this was right in my AC joint ... Ya, thought after the first one was so easy, I'd try the second shot to see if that is the area that is causing all the problems.
Well, that hurt like hell, was close to passing out after the needle hit whatever he hit!!
Had a hard time driving home from Brampton(they just don't have cortisone in the Markdale area???) 3 days later and pain was down to 40% not bad!!
So I've taken it easy, trying to let things heal,been feeling pretty good,might be a good time to try rowing again, it was... for the time we had been on the river... today not so much.
We had a great day with Musky, 6-7 came to the fly.. some huge fish too.
So, I'm still taking it easy and am guiding.
Hope to hear from you soon....
Just weeks before Steelheading...
Cheers
Ken

Okay, ready for the "low down???
Yes, I've been injured. My Pelvis/hip is much better, walking without the cane but still not doing back flips!! The shoulder thing continues to be a ..... pain!
I'm getting another cortisone shot on the 26 Th... yahoo!! The first wasn't much help.. hoping the next works wonders!!
Okay.. fishing,
The waters in this neck of the woods are getting hot... not warm.. HOT!!!! in Temp only. Most of you know I don't guide when water reaches the 70 degree mark. So Bass and Musky it is!! I'm able to do one drift a week, more than that and the shoulder is sh.t for 4 days. With said, the Smallmouth and Musky fish will be outstanding this summer!!!
So, if you've got something in mind,and want to spend a day with me on the river??
Drop me a line, we'll try to put something together... I'm really missing my regulars,it would be great to see you all again!!
Cheers
Ken

It's been a long time,sorry for that. I've had a few accidents that have put into limbo for a few weeks.
I've been out very little,the spring went to summer too fast, at last time I checked the rivers close by, are or had been in the 70 degree range. Some of you know that I'm not doing any guides with water temps in the 70 range.
With all the rain and cooler nigh time temps I should be able to get some guiding done. The Brown Drakes should be done on the Grand and just getting ready to start on the Saugeen.
I'm almost able to stand for more that a few hours, my hip is still bruised and I hurt badly when I cough.. but it's getting better.
I'll be at that Walkerton show this weekend, if you are around please drop by and say hello.
Thanks for checking in
Cheers
Ken
