Though a plethora of news venues recently reported the findings of a John Moores University (Liverpool) study suggesting that dinosaurs’ flatulence and eructations (aka belches) were significant and measurable contributors to ancient global warming, I first ran across the story on the NY Daily News site. From their article – …A new study suggests that [...]

My grandfather’s beach house on the Texas coast (now long gone) used to be three ‘camp houses’ down from the local shrimper – Little Bob. He’d come chugging down the Colorado River after dragging East Matagorda Bay and we’d race him down the shell road to his dock to watch him unload. It’s a tough [...]

Several days ago She Who Must Be Obeyed and I ran up to Seattle to catch Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, take in the sights and act basically act like a pair of country bumpkins on their go-to-town day. There’s been a whisper now and again in the fly fishing world about the show and [...]

She Who Must Be Obeyed and I just just rolled back in from a delightful day in Seattle. While we much prefer to live in the boonies, now and again we (at least one of us) notes a drawback, typically under the heading of arts and culture. (At least from my humble point of view [...]

Quinn is reading A River Runs Through It for the first time in several years. The experience has prompted him to write a series of posts about several topics, some of which are actually related to the book. And yes he wrote this slightly presumptuous italicized intro himself, so technically he is talking about himself [...]

Trying to get our hands around a couple of what would have been ‘traditional fly fishing book’ projects has led us down the road of looking at digital options as well. We’ve thrown up a post this morning over on our Dry Fly Media site waxing poetically about the way the digital publishing arena is [...]

Guide Jim, our somewhat mysterious, former Austin-resident, sometimes Texas-disdaining, fly fishing guide / professor and new cyber friend emailed this link in just now with a thought…. Given your obvious interest in the introduction of non-native fish into desert locales I’m surprised you haven’t run the trailers (released a few weeks ago) for Salmon Fishing [...]

Until just recently I wasn’t sure why we’ve found ourselves resonating so keenly with the Southern Culture on the Fly guys and gals. Sure, in part it has to do with our deep respect for any group that would proudly use grits so prominently in their promotional jargon. In part it has to do with [...]

I am not sure when I first started obsessively reading the back page of Fly Fisherman magazine. I imagine I was in high school, but I might have been slightly younger or a little older. I am pretty sure I hadn’t left for college yet because I remember hunting and pecking through a stack of [...]

Ben over at Up’North Maine Fly Castings is bringing in the New Year with a new look on his site.  He’s improved the layout and added a few new features.  I like the new photography section.. Keep it up Ben, we all enjoy getting a look into the northern woods.
