Officially Spring/Vernal Equinox

It is officially spring. We love it at Headhunters Fly Shop. Soon the hillsides will be kelley green along with the days are getting longer. Bring on spring and let us move towards summer. Trout fishing on the Missouri is good now and will get better every day from here on out.

Spring always leads me down the road of summer love...or a permutation there of...which traditionally lasts through the summer...and then the smart ones, meaning all of them, get rid of me about the time of the Autumnal Equinox. Fishing guides are sketchy at best, but it usually takes about 3-4 months for the shine to wear off.

So get outside, prance around in your tie-dyed sundress and throw flowers at the sky. If you aren't into that gig, seek out a poor, indignant fly fishing guide and make some spring gestures. At least buy him a cocktail.


Bring on the spring rains, blossoming of wildflowers, spawning rainbows, and longer fishing days.
