I’ve got a feature in the latest issue of the Fly Fish Journal about a weekend spent on the Mighty Mo a couple of years back. Going to the Mo again in a couple of weeks, so the timing is pretty good I guess. Hopefully the folks in Craig dig it and cut me some […]
So What?
It was bound to happen at some point. TV’s fascination with “reality” shows and strange competitions has finally reached into the realm of angling. During my morning internet news sweep, I came across a piece on Moldy Chum about a new show called “Top Hooker”. If you didn’t know the context, that title might make […]
From Monday’s Daily Chronicle Police Report:
Recently, there was a great Joe Posnanski post (its curiously long) about the last night of the MLB (baseball) regular season. For those unfamiliar, let me summarize (don’t worry, it will be quick, I understand the being unfamiliar with the end of the MLB regular season is a choice you’ve made). The last night of […]
Hitting the Guadalupe River later this evening after a little late afternoon work. First a visit to one of our fav local heartburn factories. Yep, it was worth it.
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 […]
It’s nice to have feet on the ground back home in Montana this evening. Jake knocked on my door in Austin at about 130 am Saturday morning and we were on the road by 2 – arrived in Bozeman in time for breakfast today after a 3 hour stop for sleep near the Malad summit […]
I’ve been messing around a bit on Google+ over the last few weeks and I’ve been a twitter user for several months now. All this media-based socializing has made me think about an age-old fly fishing conundrum that is only enhanced by tools like blogs and facebooks and twitter feeds: just how much information is […]
I don’t have a lot of worm patterns in my fly boxes. I fish a few tailwaters but for some reason I’ve never got on the worm train. I don’t have a massive ethical aversion to fishing worms, although they are not my favorite. I figure that if worms are in the drift, then you […]
When an outrageous snowpack and a quick turn to summer heat turn streams and rivers to chocolate milk, fly shops need to generate revenue where they can. Even floating dudes on ‘whitewater floats’ can help pay the bills and gets a body out on the water.
I’d be an absolute lying dog if I didn’t admit that She Who Must Be Obeyed and I were as happy as clams to be back in home country. It’s fairly easy to get a little road rash making the drive from Austin back home to Bozeman in two days, though SWMBO held up well […]
Measured flows out of Flathead Lake: 41,300 cfs That’s roughly 308,945 gallons per second, Or 18,536,700 gallons per minute, Or 1,112,202,000 gallons per hour, And 26,692,848,000 gallons per day.
Just back in the barn after a little spin in the truck. Actually, a bit more than a little spin. Just under 2000 miles in just over 43 hours. After an on the job injury (shoulder / rotator cuff) Fire Girl Jess got herself booted out of her barn based apartment on a few days […]
Jake’s post today inspired some pondering. A life without fly fishing? Inconceivable. A life without ever standing in the Yellowstone River scanning for risers? Preposterous. A life without at least one afternoon sleepily lazing on a grassy bank and watching the summer clouds roll by? Unthinkable. A life without toasting dried chilies on the stove […]
