Liquid Gold

I have water in my veins, a common thread, starting from when I was a young girl growing up on the shores of Wild Fowl Bay, off of Lake Huron’s thumb of Michigan. It was a great place to explore woodlands, wetlands, fishing, sailing and swimming. You could not keep me out of the water then and it continually pulls be back now. As an adult, I am constantly being pulled back to the need for water, sort of a “Fish out of Water.” I have lived in a suburb of Illinois, not far from Chicago and the

Walk on the Safe Side

"All women are b**ches and liars." Those were the exact words out of an older man’s mouth a few years ago when my partner and I were fishing on a famous Lake Ontario steelhead river. When this man first approached us, thanks to our completely gender-neutral appearance, he just seemed a little jealous that we had been out-fishing him and he wanted us out of “his space,” but when he figured out we were women, he began blurting out a rant about how horrible women were, including his own mother.

The Seaducer

This simple streamer is deadly for both fresh and saltwater fish. If that wasn’t reason enough to start adding them to your box, they are super easy to tie as well. Strip the fly back to you with an erratic retrieve and hang on! Dun Magazine - Tails & Ties - The Seaducer from Dun Magazine on Vimeo.

The Ice Shad

This fly was created for the Great Lakes, but is at home in the saltwater, a bass lake, a smallmouth river, swung for steel or in a trout stream. We tie Ice Wing in like EP for an EP style baitfish. A little tricky to get the hang of at first, this fly is worth the mess it makes. Tie one on today! American Shad - Ice Shad from Dun Magazine on Vimeo.

The Hemingway Daquiri

2 oz Light Rum 2 oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice 1/2 oz Luxardo Maraschino Garnish: Lime Wheel Shake all ingredients except garnish. Strain into you favorite chilled Coupe or Collins Glass (with shaved ice). Hemingway’s Orginial Daiquiri consisted of 3 3/4 onces of rum with only 6 drops of Luxardo. For those of us with a less alcoholic palate, we dialed back the rum a little and upped the sweatiness. This Daiquiri is our go-to thirst quencher. The fresh fruit juice makes this
