“Send picture of boat” don’t qualify »

As this is another “travel week” you’ll have to find other sources for your noon chuckle. As I hear so few true fishing jokes I felt obligated to share. A woman goes into Cabela’s to buy a rod and reel for her grandson’s birthday.  She doesn’t know which one to get, so she just grabs [...]

Despite our best efforts and countless casting clinics, many children slipped through the cracks »

GQ magazine was kind enough to share a tidbit with me on America’s Best Fishing, which confirmed our worst fears on the burgeoning Metrosexual Menace… Detroit, San Diego, and Charleston, South Carolina. No mention of the piney woods, clean water, or any activity liable to soil a silk shirt. “The Real Outdoors” is for vacationing family guys, [...]

And fly fishermen get the “evil torture” rap »

I’d call it something like, “noble foe mistreated horribly, first by Monsanto, then by sushi-loving Hipster.” Let’s eat Glow-Inna-Dark genetically-engineered, research fish despite their being finely honed scientific thoroughbreds, engineered for pollution detection … … and that Glow Inna Dark thing, shouldn’t matter on the flavor dont’cha think?   Madam, what you were attempting to convey [...]

For a few Gift Cards more … »

Now that Maryland has reinstituted last season’s Snakehead bounty, gifting anglers a $200 Gift certificate from Bass Pro Shops for each kill, most of the state is likely mulling dumping their day job and becoming a Bounty Killer in the image of Clint Eastwood .. As always, your friends and family won’t understand, and they’ll [...]

Just another thick envelope between gentlemen »

Most of my giggles have been the irrational kind but it’s nice to see that the “we’ll tune Science for pay” phenomenon isn’t localized to the US or an election year … While us Californian’s dicker over whether Striped Bass are the root of all evil, and while federal scientists determine whether the Delta should [...]

Liberal Menace responsible for most fishing ills and the Economy »

… and I do so in good humor, despite blood rushing to my cheek, as I’ve been called “liberal” about as often as the Fair Sex has called me, “fat”, “disgusting”, or “slovenly.” I’ve always associated the “Liberal” tag as nothing more than describing someone that lives on the coast, or resides in a “blue” [...]

Brook Trout victimized by Heat and Performance anxiety »

With all the hormones in the water column you’d think us old guys and our yen for little blue pills would be able to pee a little stability into native Brook Trout populations, at least enough to overcome the ill effects of global warming … New research suggests an increase of as little as a [...]

There’s hope if they’re finally ditching light beer »

Can it be that the root cause of declining outdoors participation isn’t Nintendo, nor the warm confines of the couch, rather it’s a lack of appreciation for straight liquor? Campfires and the out-of-doors have always been associated with a return to the simple, unsophisticated life of our adventurer-hunter-gatherer ancestors, and the measure of what we [...]

A lot more of us would have made Harvard, that’s for sure »

It was San Francisco in the mid-Seventies … the Vietnam War had ended two years earlier, so there was plenty of Peace, the Castro District was filling rapidly, so there was oodles of Love, and the Haight-Ashbury had degenerated from counter-cultural nexus to outright Heroin addiction, so there was plenty of Dope … … and [...]

Heroes, every last one … »

I don’t believe a word of it myself, mostly because I buy into every conspiracy theory possible … and … they were replaying Spartacus in my hotel room last night … The incident occurred on state Route 124 south of Hillsboro and involved a truck  hauling a tank filled with rainbow trout en route to [...]
