Fly Fishing Journal

[Jeff Clough]

I've been looking around a while for a good, simple format to keep some basic details about my fly fishing trips. What I used, what the weather was like, etc. Most of the templates I've found, however, seem to have very much a professional air about them. They use space for things like tracking the weight of fish to the ounce, or calculating your fish per hour.

I put together a journal form to use myself, based on a bit here and there from three or four others, that's also designed to remind me why I'm out there in the first place: to observe and enjoy nature; to share time with my friends and family out there on the water; keep track of the techniques and patterns I tried as well as what worked well; and how much fun the trip was overall.

You can find it here:

I plan on using this whenever I head out from now on and setting up a binder to keep them all.

Perhaps it might be useful to someone else as well.

Edit: Dang it. I meant for this to be in Learning Experience, but I ended up in the wrong tab. Sigh.
