LIFE
A Family on the Fly
The idea of “time flying” is never more evident than when one becomes a parent. Sure, it’s something that adults say to kids growing up, but the gravity of the words never really takes. Sitting in third period geometry seemed eternal, as did waiting to turn sixteen and get a driver’s license. Graduating high school and heading off to college was a laborious grind in watching the clock. Then all of a sudden, nine months of a pregnancy goes by in the blink of an eye, and then the bundle of joy

Introduce Your Kids to Fly Fishing
As fly-fishing parents, we share a common dream that our children will follow along at a young age, immersed in the experiences of our family's fishing expeditions. Traveling to our favorite rivers and lakes on a weekly basis will all become pleasant memories for them as we introduce them to our favorite sport and the art of fly fishing. When we were growing up, spending time outdoors didn’t have to compete with spending time tele-learning on the internet, playing video games, and Zoom calls. W

5 Things I Learned Fishing With a Toddler
Fishing is a lifelong passion for so many of us. From childhood to adulthood, we progress through chapters along the way. For me, when I became pregnant with my son, I was beyond excited to instill an appreciation (ok, addiction) for fishing at an early age. If only I knew what that really meant. Here are five things I have learned from fishing with my toddler. Always bring snacks ... Always. We stock up before hitting the water - whether it's for 5 minutes or 5 hours. Water bottles, healthy

SAHM Redefined
One of the oddest exchanges I had when my baby bump appeared was when an older person would touch my stomach and ask: will you stay home or keep working? A year into # 3's life (#1 and #2 being our pups) and I still find it odd to confine motherhood to black and white, "working" or "not working." Yes, I'll keep working. I'm a mom, but I'm also a fishing guide, fly shop employee, and marketing consultant. Guide work typically hits like a freight train for the peak season then purrs and slows – so

Jen’s Favorite Grilled Chicken with Smitty’s Beard Sauce
I believe that life is made of up serendipitous moments. One such moment was the meeting of Kevin Smith of Smitty’s Beard Sauce. Smitty is that guy that you like from the moment you meet him. He’s hardworking and thoughtful and has quite literally turned hardships into triumphs. I caught up with him to talk about how he’s turned a lifetime of difficulty into one of the most amazing barbecue sauces I’ve ever tasted. It’s his sauce that makes up my favorite grilled chicken. Smitty grew up in sou

Just Like Dad
I don’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t know how to throw a fly line. Fly fishing isn’t in my blood, but my father is. And as a young child I quickly learned that if I wanted to spend time with Dad, getting out with him on the water was the answer to my wish. Growing up in a separated family wasn’t always the easiest. Dad left mom and our hometown of Destin when I was two to pursue his music career in Atlanta. I caught my first trout on the Chattahoochee River when I was three. Mom, my
