I don’t make this stuff up I just giggle and pass it on. I yanked the forum dialog to quell your urge for witty rebuttal, it’s an artifact of  “antiseptic plastic packaging”, carnivores too far removed from the sledgehammer smacking the cow to appreciate that all steaks used to “Moo.”
I was doing a search [...]

All I need is more things to fiddle with and nothing stirring to eat my creations. They say that’s what Winter is for and it appears as if I’m going to give Old Daytripper a run for his money…
Togen fish hooks caught my eye recently, a Japanese hook marketed by the Togen fly shop [...]

Nothing like a three day weekend to come face to face with wanderlust. One day to do something responsible, one day devoted to NFL debauchery, and the last to piss away adventuring.
That’s my new “politically correct” term for walking around with a flyrod hoping that something other than exercise is on the menu.
A break in [...]

I found a better retailer for the Angelina (”Ice Dub”) fibers, Joggles.com features a better color selection of the “straight cut” Angelina, and the price is a buck cheaper.
These are half ounce packages, which is equivalent to about 4 packages of Ice Dub, featured at $3.75 per half ounce. 36 colors are available as [...]

Evolutionists have surmised Man is the result of a long chain of genetic events whose ancestors lived in water. Divine Theory has always touted the lack of evidence in the fossil record to support that conclusion. Four years ago a paleontologist unearthed a “fish” that had both neck and “hands“, the missing link in [...]

We keep hearing how the most dangerous occupation is Alaskan crab fisherman, I browse a lot of fishing news  and I’m starting to wonder about that statistic.
English trawlers have pulled in two WWII torpedoes recently, a third recovered in Australia, and yesterday the fourth was trawled up off of the Spanish coast. The “pucker [...]

The Singlebarbed “Grinch” took the day off giving us a rare opportunity for some European feel-good advertising. We promise to follow up this rare optimistic post with something hellish and deadly..

An informative handbook on the effects of climate change on Scottish fisheries was my latest find, published in August 2006, it discusses the broader issues of climate change for fishermen, not scientists.
Focused on the North Sea and the cod fishery, it still broaches a variety of lesser known effects of climate change on the [...]

I’m perusing yet another entomology tome that discusses the phases aquatic insects endure to finally get their wings, each author insists the “post-lactating-pre-nuptial” phase is overlooked by anglers, and fish knock snot out of flies that imitate it.
A dark spinner, looks innocent enough and you’ve got plenty in your flybox..

I got your “phase” right here, buddy. It’s [...]

Nanoscience to the rescue with line flash a thing of the past, and night fishing about to get a boost.
Scientists have leveraged carbon nanotubes to make the blackest black, almost 30 times darker than the current standard.  Light absorption would be a useful tool to cut line flash, it’d be the Stealth Fighter of fly [...]
