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 [...]
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 [...]
Closing weekend of 2010 was a pretty damn good time. It was a “Randy trip”. The story below will explain what that means to me and, what I would like to think and am probably right in doing so, the rest of us. There is a bit of an explanation to go along with it. [...]

Though fall is my favorite time of year…summertime seems to bring out some amazing experiences in my life that make bearing 100 degree heat index’s worth while. Besides fishing, one thing that us Hatchless folks have in common is listening to some great musical talents. I won’t go into a list of what we have [...]
In an earlier post I said I would follow up on the trip to the Au Sable and tell the story of the drift boat so here it is. I’ll keep the boat story short but remember I said it has been four long years. Most everyone I know has been tired of hearing about [...]
I have waited for this day for four long years and it is finally here. Maiden voyages require a christening of some sort don’t they? I believe I have a little of this laying around. We’ll see if that works. No, I will not smash any bottles on the bow but I’m sure that by [...]
