I’ve been a member of FAS on and off for many years now. I have fished all of their waters at one time or another. There are however some that get under you skin more than others. For me it was Stillwater !

I first fished “Stilly” about 6 or so yrs ago, I landed a beautiful 20lb+ common on my first 12hr overnighter from the back lake.. Result! I had the lake to myself except for one other angler. It was early spring and the lake looked like it had been frozen in time, not a soul in sight. The early morning mist seemingly danced entwined in plumes above the water, fish were bubbling and gently breaking the surface. It was beautiful, timeless and at that point I could think of no where else I’d rather be. I packed up later that morning still filled with the buzz of having caught such a stunner on my first visit. I planned to return…..soon!

Unfortunately what with work/family commitments and fishing socials on runs waters,(became addictive) I didn’t make it back to stilly that season, in fact it wasn’t until august 2004 that I returned for what was to be some of the best memories and captures I have had on FAS so far!
