Attention fly fishing blog community…you all suck. February 1, 2012 No Comments

Well either I have a bur up my ass or this North Peak Vicious is just making me feel a bit frisky, but this post “Dear Fellow Fly Fishing Blog Writers” by Alex Kain sort of has stuck with me all day and I just can’t seem to let it go. I know it’s exactly what he [...]

A Gentle Reminder That I am Almost 40… January 21, 2012 2 Comments

This video reminds me of my age but in a good way for sure. Yeah, he’s a scientologolist or whatever but fuck it…

New Sticks, Part one. November 28, 2011 1 Comment

This year I was the proud recipient of a few new sticks that are worth writing about. The first one I purchased I believe I mentioned earlier this year with the promise of a review. Naturally, since that one was purchased first, I will go chronologically and start there. Early this spring I decided I [...]

Dam nice to see. November 1, 2011 No Comments

I’m not going to pretend to know anything about this river. I do enjoy watching this sort of destruction. Awesome. Best of all. I’m glad to see that the smoke monster from LOST found a new gig. One that really makes a difference. Pause the video at about the 25 second mark and see Smokey [...]

Streamer Punk via: The Drake October 18, 2011 No Comments

Streamer Punk by: Will Rice October 18, 2011 He is guilty. He did it. He confesses. He comes clean. He is a streamer punk. Simple ideas turn to thoughts: Streamers in the fall—there are few things he enjoys more. 5X? No. 4X? Nope. 3X? Maybe… if the water is clear. 2X? These fish aren’t leader shy [...]

Its a punk rock Friday night… August 6, 2011 No Comments

Quotable quotes July 25, 2011 2 Comments

This past Saturday I was at Mike’s for dinner and he reminded me of a funny time we had on the Huron this winter searching for random steelhead. We were in the boat and I was in the back of the boat which is a rare occurrence since I am a whiny drift boat owner [...]

Bling String. May 26, 2011 No Comments

Has this gone too far? Not yet! I can’t wait to see what’s next. Is it possible that we will see KBarton’s new “greatest freakin’ nymph dubbing the world has ever freakin’ seen” showing up dubbed on people’s hair as dreads? I should figure out how to plant that seed. That would be a riot. ?

Becca Schlaff April 29, 2011 No Comments

Found this over at Midcurrent today. Sorta similar to Derek DeYoung’s work but I have to say Becca’s stuff would go on my wall before Dereks. Sorry. Just being honest. Check it out! Well worth a click.  Becca Schlaff

Winning! April 14, 2011 No Comments

FlyTalk Picks the 12 Best States for Flyfishing in the U.S.A. Props to MI from Field and Stream Magazine!   Why isn’t Ohio on the list? Oh well. Toledo was given to OH by MI as a trade for something at sometime anyway right? A lot of us Toledoans sort of feel like were from [...]
