It’s 9:25 AM now. I’m driving somewhere around the little Pennsylvania town of Bellfonte. My GPS device keeps telling me to make a left down a street that is clearly marked one way – the wrong way! Despite this fact I circle around twice and still make the turn only to have to [...]

Work had me going to Tucson AZ for a week, so I decided to meet up with a guy who I have been in contact with for quite some time but never met! Aaron Otto lives outside Phoenix and we have talked about and wanted to link up and make the trip to the White [...]

With Steelhead runs really starting to pick up on some local rivers I did the unthinkable: I went chasing 8” Wild Brown Trout in ankle deep water. I could almost hear anglers in passing cars yelling out: “You’re going the wrong way!” as I sped away from the coast. Fall is such a [...]

As the Fall 2009 Steelhead Season stutter steps toward our door we spend early mornings starving on the lower branches of our tributaries and then retreat to honey suckle summer upper branches to tango with little wild trout.

Unlike the “everyman trout”, the staple of we low land people, the brown trout; they can not accommodate warm weather and pollution. They hold, often, in the choicest [...]

Quietly sipping some water in the shade of a willow tree when an older gentleman came slowly down river swinging wet flies. Before he entered my stretch he gave the universal open hand query to fish through of which [...]

With the mindset of solely practicing Down River Wet Fly fishing I stripped every Dry Fly, Nymph, and Streamer out of my Vest and hit the road for a local Spring Creek. Big bountiful blue skies definitely lift the spirit. Until Blam! &^%$! Do I still remember how to change a tire? 15 Minutes and a [...]

After seeing Dejon’s awesome pictures on the home page about wild trout I got to thinking that most people have wild trout fishing a lot closer to them than they realize. I live in NJ and most people in my area are not even awhere of the prime wild trout fishing with in an hours [...]

A relatively wise fisherman once told me when prospecting an area for trout: “walk into the local Fly Shop. Look at all their flies… and then don’t use a dam one of em!” You see, “fly shop guys” are a lot like sneaker designers. Year after year, they keep coming up with brand [...]
