Sucks ass to see the river that’s a part of my family, the St. Lawrence, listed in the 10 Most Endangered in the US.

I’ve already declared 2008 the Year of the Carp. One reason for that, besides occasionally obsessing about weird fish, is I’m tired of living vicariously through the exploits of John Montana, who posts all about whacking carp on one of my favorite blogs, Carp on the Fly. He also routinely competes for the Slab of [...]

Costa Del Mar’s Channel C has the first video up in a series following bass angler Jason Quinn along the professional circuit. I’m not much of a pro bass guy, but I’d like to be sponsored by Evan Williams.

The most famous of fly fishermen are famous for something else. Ted Williams, Ernest Hemingway, Tiger Woods…(probably the most recognizable of all time is a pretend one, Brad Pitt as Paul Maclean)…The lone exception to that would be Lefty Kreh.

A blurry, out-of-focus photo of a haphazzardly tied bendback on a bass hook. I guess it’s more aptly described as a weedless, but whatever, they’ve worked well for bass. I’ve been tying them to use on my northern pike trip next week. She ain’t pretty but she gits it done.

Longer days make late afternoon sneak-aways easier to come by. Fish the hour before dusk and see what happens. I wish I could better remember the ones I caught today, but thoughts of those are being pushed out by the all-consuming cinder block hook-up. The one where the rainbow with shoulders explodes upon contact with [...]

The Sportsman’s Alliance for Alaska is auctioning off a motherload of stuff, from fishing trips to rods, reels, shades, gear, art…anything related to fly fishing that you can get your mitts on.
The good thing is you can go decadent and spend way too much on fly fishing like you already do anyway, but this it’s [...]
