Lovely Pita from Dan Torres on Vimeo. From Texas tier and fly fisher Dan Torres who’s been throwing this one to finicky Reds in the Laguna Madre, an absolutely awesome and oft-overlooked southern coastal fishery. Dan also spends a bit of time guiding canoe trips in Canada and shot a little footage from the cockpit […]

Sometimes all you can do is simply stand back in awe and admire a true wordsmith at work. Yesterday afternoon these gems rolled onto a fairly busy comment thread discussing how big Montana trout might actually be and the possibility of planted hatchery rainbows spawning right now in central Texas… …In all honesty it’s critically […]
So there are no trout bigger than 16 inches in Montana, at least according to one sport attempting to impersonate a fly fisher I ran into a few days ago. I won’t bore you with all of the conversation; though it is worth noting this encounter has made the top three on my all time […]
I recently was able to watch a presentation by an “Outdoor Team” sponsored by a national magazine and several national gear manufacturers. Let me rephrase there – the presentation was at my place of work so I had to watch it. The talk covered backpacking and was engineered to help encourage and enable people to […]
Last week, my friend Winston, myself and local fisherman and blogger Eric (die Fische.org) headed out to fish the Guadalupe below Canyon Dam. This is the “trophy trout” aquarium stretch of the river, in which the state and the local chapter of Trout Unlimited stock trout every year. Never will you see a group of […]
Back in the office after an early morning strategy meeting with some of our real world business team and lo and behold, there’s some weather moving in. There’s even a little lightning starting to pop and thunder rolling…..a longer post about fishing (and other) news from Yellowstone will have to wait….our power tends to fail […]
It’s a whopping pleasure to present this quick interview with Mark Marmon, an old friend (introduced here) and principal of Metro Anglers in Houston. Mark offers what very well may be one of the most unique brownlining opportunities in the country with his urban Houston tours, though it sounds like if he could plan the […]
The pond did look fishy enough this morning. Waiting on a client meeting and the day’s work to come. All hail the wonder and freedom that mobile computing technology has brought to image processing. We truly live in an amazing age. Spooked up a few decent fish and a handful of dinks; we’ll show what […]
Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant?? I’m halfway through my fish burger and I realize, Oh my God….I could be eating a slow learner. – Lyndon Baines Johnson Offered in honor of the illustrious line of noble politicians from the great state of Texas – a state of such attitude magnitude they’re capable […]
It’s been a smoke and fire long holiday weekend here in Central Texas. Wind spilling off the remnants of the most recent recent Gulf storm to make landfall was the apparent straw to break the drought camel’s back around Austin. We’ve been dodging smoke and fire all weekend; the neighbors have been housing refugees from […]
