Southern Colorado, Hatchless Southwest trip October 6, 2011 No Comments

A near and dear friend spent some time in southern CO recently. He’s the kind of guy that would travel from Dallas to wherever you needed help building a guest house, as long as you promised him some fishing. In this case he was in southern CO visiting a friend that, well, needed help building [...]

Hatchless top 100 beers July 1, 2011 No Comments

This is strictly our fucking opinion, so don’t go getting your panties all in a bunch over what a couple of douche bags from Ohio had to say about what is what when it comes to beer drinking. But in response to a recent post by the American Homebrewers Assoc., we decided that list was [...]

Fleet Foxes May 6, 2011 No Comments

    New Fleet Foxes record hit the stores this week. It’s good. Listen to it and then go hug a tree. Bill and I are headed North for the weekend. I will apologize in advance to all of you that are anxiously awaiting the first big hennie hatch and spinner fall on the Trophy [...]

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 [...]

2010 Review January 8, 2011 No Comments

2010 was a strange year. That’s really all I can say about it. Was it kind of uninspiring? Yeah… Kind of. There hasn’t been a post here for a long time and the reason for that I guess is that we have been “wholly uninspired”. But then I really thought about it and the more [...]

Trophy Water 2010 so far… May 31, 2010 No Comments

Sunset at the Gabions. Mike with a good fish from an odd place on a bright sunny day at about noon. Said fish from above. Bill on a nice fish. Bill’s fish from the above pic. The truly impressive story about this fish is that it was caught on a dry and while that is [...]

A new guy’s view… September 22, 2009 1 Comment

This is a report from the “newbie” we took along with us for the  ASBWPA Clean Up. To be fair, this was not Scott’s first fly fishing trip so he really isn’t a true “newbie” but it was his first weekend on the Au Sable. We asked him to put together a little trip story [...]

Not Quite Sure What to Say August 14, 2009 No Comments

Jesus. When someone catches a smalll mouth on the fly this big, what do you say? “Holy mother of Christ that thing is just fucking sloppy!” comes to mind. I won’t say who sent me this (read on) or where it came from. I’m not even tagging this post too much because I can’t even [...]
