‘boo from scumliner media on Vimeo. Fire Girl Jess ventured over to the Sweetgrass shop with John when he shot the shop footage; she has some of those images up here. She’s shopping the rest of the images around for a published story though we might post a few more here as well. The Boo […]
I am not sure how old I was when we bought it—or I should say when my dad bought it. You see I had dreams of being an artist. I was inspired (probably too generous a term) by graffiti artists, so dad sprung for an airbrush and a desk that I could paint on. I […]

Believe it or not there’s a Utah dealer in the (sorta) northern Rockies. Looks fun as hell, just keep it on Lake Powell boys.

Now is that magical time of year when the Christmas spirit fills the air. Brightly lit trees stand tall in living rooms, Christmas lights hang from houses, and stressed out shoppers fill the stores and shops. Seriously, it’s bat shit crazy out there. Having been working in retail for the past five years, I’ve seen […]
It’s something every photographer dreads. And if you shoot pictures on or near water, it’s bound to happen at some point. Fly fishermen are especially at risk, and sooner or later you are going to do it to: drop your camera in the water. Sunday Shane and I went fishing on the local small water. […]
On Wednesday I had the good fortune to participate in a 6 weight rod test / shootout with the rest of the team at the Gig Harbor Fly Shop. Guide, instructor, shop guru and competition spey caster Zack Williams organized the 10-rod / 2-line comparison. We moseyed to the Park just down the street and […]
Shop Expansion from Fish Tales Fly Shop on Vimeo. Great to see an independent shop expand and upgrade in this day and age; looks like a place to visit in Calgary next summer….
As fishermen, hunters, and outdoorsmen in general, we collect a lot of stuff. Most of the time without ever realizing it too. Fishing in particular is a very fertile ground for stockpiling random shit. Last night after work I helped Shane move from the Sasquatch Cave (inside joke and long story with that one) to […]
For years it seems the industry has been chasing down the ideal of faster and faster rods. Rods that could throw more line further than any ever before. Fly rods have progressively gotten faster and stiffer over the years. So why now are we seeing a multitude of flexible, slow action rods show up? What […]
In the past year, my quiver of rods has grown quite a bit. Thank God for deep discounts working in retail. But one rod really stands out. It’s not anything fancy, far from it. And you might think that the notable rods would be hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Not always so. This one cost […]
You have to like a company that is changing the face of outdoor and adventure videography one crazy bastard at a time.
Back a few months ago software company Rivolu offered us a chance to download and test their TideTrac app. Shamefully it went on the to-do list but was buried by a cascade of seemingly urgent tasks and never done. A renewed interest in tides over the past week or so just happened to coincide with […]
