I received the email below from Tom Buhr today. Tom is the president of a grass roots organization that focuses on the Au Sable river in MI. He is the man we all wish we could be when it comes to having the balls and energy to fight the good fights and get motivated on [...]

You shouldn’t have…
Don’t get me wrong here, I can appreciate the fight of a catfish. They are strong fish and from what I’m told, they are pretty damn smart or at least high ranking on the sensory perception scale. (If you look at them on a purely scientific basis they’re actually pretty cool.) Listen to [...]

Fly Fishing Education 101:
Yeah, I know. Is this really necessary?
There is a SHITLOAD of info available in all sorts of media to get yourself educated on this sport/pastime/gay ass artsy activity. What ever you want to call it, it isn’t like its brand spankin’ new and if you’re at a loss to figure it out, [...]

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 [...]

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 it [...]

I must admit, I work for an American car maker (so I may be a little biased) and we get a lot of bad press for a lot of different reasons. Some of it is deserved but a lot of it is mis-reported and, like everything else, the press chooses to ignore all the good news. Hell [...]

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 [...]
