Gone Fishing…

There is ice to the west of us,  I will make a few calls to see if there is any to the east of us.  Well northeast anyway.
As of now there is enough ice out on Wamplers to take machines out to haul your gear.  Just enough snow on the lake to make it […]

Original Post:

Six inches of snow yesterday, and two more since I cleared the back deck last night. Sadly, there’s a direct (inverse) relationship between the amount of snow we get and my chances of hitting the river in search of a BWO hatch.

As primarily a freshwater fisherman, I have a hard time relating to catching something like a Halibut. But, it certainly looks like fun. I know what it feels like to have a 5 lb. bass on the line, but a 200 Halibut? This is certainly on my list of things to do before I […]

Custom Jigs & Spins offers three spoons that I am familiar with,  and one that has been a highly successful spoon from the first time I used it last year on Lake Erie.  The Slender Spoonis a uniquely shaped spoon that was introduced by Reef Runner several years ago.  Yep, the same Reef Runner […]

The road to the Rogue; clouds, mountains and trucks on I-5
One of the benefits of fishing a river more than a few minutes from home is the windshield time — that jolt of solitary confinement when you’re not subject to all the dings, rings and interruptions of the modern “connected” life.
Even in 105 […]

Original Post:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TroutUndergroundFlyFishBlog/~3/221882657/
They’re obsolete. They’re low tech. They’re soooo 1960s. So Why are fiberglass fly rods reappearing on rivers and streams?
It’s hard to define the “rightness” of a fly rod, though once — over a couple beers — a few local fly fishermen delved into the subject at what amounted to the genetic level. […]

Ice “n” Spoons: Lindy’s Options

Original Post:
http://www.blogsmonroe.com/fishing/?p=236
When talking about fishing, specially ice fishing in the Midwest, Lindy’sname will usually come up during the conversation.  Small wonder with so many of their ice lures bearing the name of Dave Genz,  basically the concensus leader in ice fishing over the past decade.  Lindy offers three spoons in its line up of ice […]
