I was poking through the posts that never were tonight and came across this one that I typed for our October trip that I did while waiting for the pics from everyone. I enjoyed reading it it so I’m posting it even though its a repeat of an earlier trip report. No Amount of planning [...]
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 [...]
I just placed my order for a Rise Level 7 wt. If it doesn’t get to my house before April 1 that is just fine by me. I won’t fish it until after then anyway because I bought it for chucking big streamers at browns on the Au Sable. That season opens on the 1st [...]
Come out and support the Titan Fly Fishers and watch some freakishly inspiring films! The Titans event will also be featuring some of the Midwest’s top guides and fly tyers tying up some of their favorite local patterns for catching Midwestern finned critters. I think this is the least amount you’ll pay to see the [...]
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. [...]

What ever you want to call it, it isn’t like its brand spankin’ new and if you’re at a loss to figure [...]
The Junkie By Feelio Babar Friday, 25 September 2009 10:20 An Addiction to Streamer Fishing He has a serious problem, this man. Some would call it a sickness. He’s a junkie of the worst kind and he knows it, lying and cheating to get what he needs, reckless in the pursuit of his [...]
Why another boot review? Because I love these fucking boots and they deserve it. That’s why. I’m fairly certain that I bought these last year and they were closeouts from 2007. If someone knows differently, I stand corrected. Patagonia is, as most of us know, expensive gear that is worth what you pay for it. [...]
A Case for Going Small or A Pointless, Rambling, Self-Indulgent Diatribe by Tim Hyatt A couple of my Hatchless friends, among others, jokingly (I think) chide me for liking to tie and to use small flies, particularly dries, while fishing. I thought I would take the time to explain why I do so and in [...]
