New and Improved

The new Arkansas tailwater,with the new improvements comes new water to fish and a river to explore.Me and Alex got a chance to get out last Friday and it turned out to be a great day on the water,the fish are spread out and have taken to the new improvements well.As we all know this river is very special and these improvements only add to that,so me and Alex shot a little bit of  video, when one of us could but down the rod long enough to run the camera.There are alot of fish actively spawning,so if you come across some pull up a seat and enjoy the show,but please let them do there thing.I also got out on Sunday and had some good streamer action.I will write more about that on my next post,but for now enjoy the video and as always thanks for reading,your friend on the water Freaky Frog!

Freaky Frogs First Blog

First I would like to thank everyone for checking out the new blog.My hopes are that this blog will both inform and entertain.If anything I think my spelling and writing skills should get a few laughs.Now I hope everyone will bear with me as i grow this blog and learn how to type.Cat and Connells blog is amazing and will be hard to keep up with.But if anything it will be more fish pics and stories from the water.Now the story behind the name of this blog.(Thanks Cat)The freaky frog comes all the way from Arkansas.A friend of mine Chad Johnson who is a guide and innovative fly tier on the White River came up with the frog.Chad along with another very good friend of mine Justin also a guide on the White River fish for everything they can with a fly rod,so the freaky frog was born taking big bass along the shores of Bull Shoals lake.The freaky frog will no doubt get its fair share of swim time on pueblo reservoir.But for now the river is were the action is and this week was outstanding I hope everyone saw the great footage Cat and Connell got on the river last weekend.If you haven't your missing out go to there blog and check it out.The fishing this Friday was amazing with multiple fish in the 17'' to 18'' range and my personal best a gorgeous 24'' male all colored up and ready to go.Now that brings us to Sunday me and some of the gang got to the river early geared up and headed down to the river.As we left the parking lot the army's where already massing for the charge to the river.My move at this point is to move and hit water that might not be the prime areas, but the way i look at it big fish don't like pressure either.So as we heard the the cry to charge (just kidding)we went on the hunt looking for feeding fish in unlikely places.The river was very crowded but not unfishable by no means, the great weather and the fact that we live on one of the best tailwaters in the state of Colorado makes for some busy days.But don't let that discourage you there is always a place to fish.Remember try to be courteous to others and enjoy the fact your on the water fly fishing and not at the the 9 to 5 for  now.As always from the gang here at the drift if your struggling or just want some pointers stop by the shop book a trip or just geat some info we are here to help.Thanks again for reading more to come real soon your friend on the water FREAKY FROG!!
