Coffee proofs anglers against dreaded skin cancer? Research shows that caffiene can destroy mutant cells before they can become cancerous, suggesting you should empty the pot over your head prior to fishing.

Can my sense of humor be masking a sixth sense? I conjure something out of the blue attempting to get a giggle, and the following week I find it on sale at the grocery store?

Many years ago fly fishing was turned on its ear when Jim Teeny patented his Teeny Nymph. This was pre-Internet so [...]

Government intervention is a popular topic in all circles of late, especially finance. Most have lost faith that governments are capable of managing anything unless some foreign army is landing on a nearby beach, and then we cheer loudly as the feds show in force.

Per the request to see a close up of these colorful oddities, I’ve included the top and bottom view.
The bottom shows the color gradient the yarn induces, and the top view shows the different colors of Bernat Boa wingcases added. Most used Brown, Black, or Olive – but I used golden brown on the Golden [...]

A 3,000,000 year old trout languishing undisturbed in a remote and semi-pristine environment?
… and while you’re thinking some alpine Montana or Alaska venue, and donning them Blueliner togs, think again.

This is Mexico’s finest, and since 2000 at least a half dozen unique trout species have been discovered and classified by biologists. A 44 page PDF [...]
