Ode to a Truck

Ode to a Truck

Our, beloved truck was named the Grey Goose, partly for its color and for the fact that no one else wanted it. We bought the truck three weeks after we were married. My husband and I were living in Charleston, S.C. and our old truck died after a random downpour and high tide perfectly coincided. We took that opportunity to upgrade vehicles to one that would fit our outdoor lifestyle, preferably with four-wheel drive. Little did we know the adventures we were in for with the Grey Goose.

The Crazy Art of Backing Up a Trailer

The Crazy Art of Backing Up a Trailer

Position yourself for success. If you’re new to backing up a trailer, choose a time when the boat ramp is empty. Saturday during the summer is probably not the best time to practice your backing up skills.   The Do’s 1 See it You have to be able to see the trailer to back it up. In the beginning, it can be helpful to open the tailgate or liftgate and lay down a seat or two to get a better view of where the trailer is going. Launch ramps are sometimes curved, and at times can be steep. Being ab

Tips

I always enjoy reading about fly fishing excursions to exotic countries, primarily because I’ll never get to visit any of those places myself due to, shall we say, financial considerations. My fly fishing travel experiences have therefore been limited to the domestic sort, such as Montana, for example. A teeny little fishing village, Craig, is located about an hour north of Helena along the western bank of the Missouri River. Craig’s population in the winter months is zero, because, I’m just gu

Susan Thrasher of Southern Brookies Fly Fishing

Susan Thrasher of Southern Brookies Fly Fishing

About an hour outside of Nashville, in the little town of Lancaster, Tennessee, is a picturesque camp on a beautiful trout stream. Dotted by trout-painted vintage campers with a view of the Caney Fork River, I talked to Southern Brookies’ founder Susan Thrasher about fountain pens, life lessons, and euro-nymphing over a glass of southern hospitality. Jen: Are you a native of Tenness? I was born in Mobile, Alabama and moved to Bristol, Tennessee when I was two. Jen: Before Southern brookies, wh

Lancaster, Tennessee, US

Trout near Nashville? About an hour east of Nashville is the Caney Fork tailwater and Southern Brookies guide service and retreat. Although not well known among other southern tailwaters, this river is home to large browns, rainbows, and brook trout and is definitely worth a visit. What makes this place truly special is the accommodations. Staying in one of the cozy trout painted vintage campers on the property is just something you have to experience.

Finding Inspiration

Finding Inspiration

Darrian White Stepping away from the everyday and taking control The thing that inspires my fly fishing lifestyle is the simplicity of just being out on the water.  The diversity of flies, casts, rods, and locations takes my mind away from the reality of stressors and insecurities of my everyday life. The thing that really attracted me to fly fishing was the capability to be in complete control of the situation; the fly, and the cast.  Being 23, I’ve been through a multitude of situations some

Dealing with line twist

Dealing with line twist

Does this sound familiar? You’ve been making long casts, but then decide to make a series of short casts, leaving a pile of line at your feet. You see fish blowing up bait near the shore. You bomb out a long cast, but instead of the fly heading to that perfect lie, the fly line ends up tied in a huge knot around the stripping guide. Or how about this? You’ve been fishing with an indicator all afternoon and then decide to switch to a dry fly.  Your first cast has the fly turning over, and over,

Reading Between the Saltwater Line

Reading Between the Saltwater Line

We’ve all experienced it.  You put a new line on your favorite fly rod and, just like that, your cast falls apart.  It’s not you, necessarily.  It’s the line.  Pairing the right line to the setup is key.  Pairing the right line to the conditions – also key.  Let’s talk saltwater fly lines. It might seem like a no-brainer, but the fly line is arguably the most important part of the system. Without the line, it’s just not fly fishing (sorry, Nome).  Recently, fly line manufacturers have inundated
