PS I got a message on Facebook asking me if I had any more hats that I could sell. I don't have anymore and I wasn't planning to order more because I wasn't planning on selling any. It was a way for me to make my sons smile and to thank Darc. I told the person on Facebook that if you want...

@Buzzy, tell Darc you want one of the hats.

Last spring, I took both of my sons to Back to the Wall Ranch as birthday presents. They had a great time and really appreciated Darc. At breakfast the next morning, my oldest son, Joe, said he wanted to stop by Darc’s shop, The Desert Fly Angler, and get a hat. I told him Darc doesn’t have...

It's okay to look back for awhile; it helps you process the past and build the future. More and more, live in the present and build the future. Be good to yourself. Talk nice to yourself; it's such a simple thing but so important. Go fishing and be grateful. You got this, @speedbird.

Well, this is my 23rd season of fly fishing for carp. They are the world’s greatest freshwater sport fish for sure. People have talked to me about fishing getting old, so they stop doing it. I’ve been fly fishing since 1971. I will get too old to fish before fishing gets old to me. I will fish...

Very cool, Evan!

Good job, Buzzy. I use Tiemco 3769 hooks for my carp flies. They are 2X heavy wire.

Coming up in just a few days is Super Bow weekend. I know, I know, there's a football game on Sunday and I will be watching it. I'm a Seahawks fan but not a rabid NFL football fan. The last time I watched the Super Bowl was in 2015 when the Hawks lost to New England. Sigh... These last 10...

I caught my first carp in May of 2004; this will be my 23rd season of chasing the world’s greatest sportfish. They have grown on me more and more. On January 29, 2014 I got my first and only tattoo. I had a carp inked on my right calf. Today is my tattoo’s 12th birthday! I have shown my tattoo...
