Welcome to Terry Drinkwine Outdoors. Pour yourself “two fingers of bourbon” sit back and sink into your favorite chair, close your eyes, relax and let your mind take you back to warm days standing in a river, your favorite fly rod in hand, casting flies you tied, maybe even designed.
You may find yourself smiling, even laughing, as Seamus, my Brittany and best friend, and I share our adventures in the out-of-doors as we tromp the grouse coverts hunting for bonasa umbellus, knowing we could be you and your best friend – your bird dog. Take another sip of bourbon and enjoy.
In the coming days, I’ll share my many days on the Jordan River, the Au Sable and the Manistee, as well as on small creeks – some without names. I’ll remind you of the joy and satisfaction of just “being there.”
I’ll tell you of the exploits of the Ostrich Society, consisting of “rascals” dedicated to “THE TRUTH, WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH …give or take a lie or two.
And, of course, the proof is always in the showing, I’ll share photos and hope you will do the same.
For now, I offer the story behind the 25 inch brown pictured in the header I took on the Lower Au Sable with my friend Rich Merlino. The rest of this site will be up and running in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks for tuning in and I’ll see you on the river.
