Many go to fish for large brook trout, but there are many other species, including large pike.

Hate warm beer? Maybe this will help!

I love it when I can steal an idea from another passion to use in fly fishing. I'm a tinkerer. I like to fix things and learn how they work.

That blob that looks like a swamp monster in the river is actually doing good!

Isopropyl alcohol isn't just for the medicine cabinet anymore.

A new and exciting fly tying product...You saw it here first!

If you're fishing for a day or a week, this is a must.

Aquatic earthworms? Who knew there was such a thing...and what do they have to do with noodling?

Duct tape does not stop waders from leaking and it’s time to retire grandpa’s waders and upgrade to some breathables, but oh the memories.

Tossing rodent replicas on the water at night, not seeing a bloody thing. Hoping to hear your fly go splat on the water somewhere and not hung up on the bank across stream or snagged in the trees from your back cast.
