As it’s not Mssr. Pitt and a bevy of nubiles, it’ll be under the radar of most. But with Woman & Home giving it a thumbs up, how can it miss. Contains rod-fu, salmon-fu, and droll UK humor, the perfect recipe for a chaste run at the Oscars. Technorati Tags: salmon, yemen, movie, ewan [...]

Once the fishermen find out it’s an island they’ll scatter to the four winds hoping they can scrounge some old monofilament and feed the less fortunate members of the tribe. Once they see the size of the local Bonefish they’ll insist on Catch & Release – or some form of ultra-purism – which’ll piss off [...]

All I had to do was read any of my past posts to recognize “I don’t measure up”, yet PETA had to send me a zinger just the same … They’re on the warpath, and with the death of the UK’s famous “Two Tone” carp, PETA erected a billboard to chastise local anglers … I’ve [...]

I had wondered whether the e-zine phenomena was a reflection of the US fly fisherman and the paucity of quality reading material we’re forced to endure. With a blizzard of product surfacing, it might be that us colonials are practiced at grass-roots insurrection, and therefore unashamed to show our collective discontent. Then again, it may [...]

I’m completely jealous, first bass fishing, now even sailfish angling has big money contests – replete with bikini clad babes, corpulent sponsors, grandiose prizes, free champagne, and opulent spreads of free food. So why did trout fishing get shut out of the cash bonanza? The knee jerk response: “trout fishing is the quiet sport practiced [...]

On first blush I assumed it was more proof of a coming apocalypse, another dark day for anglers, as well muscled “male-like substance” took turns looking grim, stern, or virile, while adorned with technical fishing attire.

I thought I was doing TC a favor, knowing his propensity for ungainly concoctions involving tube steak smothered in coagulated greasemeat with faux-coleslaw topping. I was prepared to cut him in on a real culinary masterpiece. The Strawberry-Milk Fish Dog. Naturally I gave him first shot at blog coverage, but instead of kudos and the promise [...]
