As promised, the first Apache Lake foray is scheduled for 1/6/17. One of my main fishing partners, Jeff Martin, will be joining me. He most likely will be fishing his Orvis Helios2 9' 5wt. rod I built for him about a year ago. He also has a nice pontoon boat he will be using, but I'm still kicking around in my old float tube. We're thinking that the fish will be holding relatively deep, so we will be armed with sinking lines. We don't know what we will catch, if anything, but that's part of the allure - the unknown.

Let me know if you 'd like to join us. We won't be leaving too early, but will be fishing most of the daylight hours. Report to follow...
