Tosh Brown flew in to Baltimore and I was an hour late picking him up, violating one of my guiding life principles: Never piss off a Texan. But the book project rolls on.

In the trout and trout art sense, Utah is happening. First, Corey Kruitbosch knocked it out with the recent Drake cover and conceptual fly tying photo-essay. Then my friend and former colleague Cody (Chris) sends word about how he’s preparing for the upcoming streamer season. The artwork for his new ink comes courtesy of a [...]

I finally watched Rivers of a Lost Coast. Totally worth the wait. Since it’s been reviewed pretty heavily already I’ll just mention one of my favorite moments: Hearing Russell Chatham talk about how Bill Schaadt, who he considers the greatest angler who ever lived, never paid for anything.

My all-time favorite band to see live, Widespread Panic, will be on the GillznFinz fishing show this Monday, the 11th, stalking redfish. It’s on Versus at 7:30 on Monday. Since I won’t be fishing and I won’t be at a Panic show in the near future, at least not by Monday, this is a best [...]
