Clarification on the point system‏

Hopefully one last clarification on the point system. The point totals for this year will be from the 2007 US National Championship through the 2009 US National Championship. The only reason there is a 2 year accumulation of points is due to the fact that we have not had a National Championship in that time. [...]

Point system and 2010 World Championship selection‏

Ladies and Gentlemen: There will be an adjustment to the latest email sent about World Team selection. Originally, we had wanted to be able to send a full team to Poland this summer to scout the water for next year’s championships. In order to do so we would have had to pick our team relatively [...]

Sewing the seeds of love… fly fishing that is!

I think I’ve created a monster. My son will be turning 4 in one week and he’s all ready fishing obsessed. All he talks about is fishing.

State College Recon #2 Redux…

I recently wrapped up the first leg of my mission to prospect the streams surrounding State College Pennsylvania which will possibly hold venues for this year’s National Fly Fishing Championship for Team USA. The first trip was an exciting mix of “easy as pie” Euro Style Nymphing on the Little Juniata and tough “head scratching” [...]

Last Steel of 09′

Another great Steelhead season is all but in the books for our region. With a nice little bookend we hit the olde “Catt” just one more time and I landed what will most certainly be my last Steel of 09′. Fitting she came near twilight. I wonder what 2010 will hold for us?
