CalTrout’s launched a campaign designed to protect one of the Smith River’s most productive tributaries (and if it’s one thing we’ve learned from the Klamath mess, it’s that protecting the tribs is as important as protecting the main river).
And with a name like Hurdygurdy Creek, the place practically screams big steelies (say Hurdygurdy five […]

Sure, the anonymous attack dog site seems cute now, but next thing you know, I’ve got a stalker messing with my credit rating (as if that could get any lower) and firing off emails trying to get my press credentials revoked (and now that I mention it, yes, that actually happened).

The Upper Sacramento’s flows are yo-yoing up and down, and we’ve entered the stage of winter where uncertainty turns fly fishing into a local’s game.
The flows ran well over 6,000 cfs after last weekend’s warm storm, and while they’re down below 3,000 cfs, we’ve still got a lot of low-altitude snow just itching […]

Remember when I put a new tub and sled runners on my Fish Trap Pro a few weeks ago.  Well just as important as protecting the base of  your shanty, is protecting the bottom of your ice fishing sleds.  Some companies sell them, some guys improvise.  Want to guess what category I fall in?

The closing of another fly shop isn’t exactly news these days, and yet because I’ve been to this particular fly shop a few times, you might say I noticed.
The Knoxville-based The Creel fly shop was a friendly little place, and what’s more, it served as a hub for a lot of the fly […]

The food was good, […]
