Superstitious? When I played ball as I made way in from center field, I'd divert my path so I could tap my right foot on the bag at second. When fishing it's more like a religious thing, which some would say is a superstition. If it's a water I truly feel a kinship too, I'll stop at water's...

A little late for Fathers's Day, but I think this boat will float.

Before they dried up, I fished the canals of Mars.

My Sears & Roebuck story goes back to when I was kid. We had a book closet at home and in there was (to me as kid) a really old S&R catalog. Any other catalogs would get thrown out after the year or season they were for, but this one catalog stood the test of time. So, one day when I was about...

What came to mind when I saw the video was this: The dude paid for the flights, hotel, meals, ground transportation and then staked out a spot on the beach for himself and miss chubby cheeks. Miss chubby cheeks wanted to go in the water but was frightened by this rude animal that intruded on...

1) Public access. 2) The restoration of forest service and state parks employees running all facets of their respective areas, campgrounds, day use areas, launches, rather than the privatization of those services and areas. 3) Camping in America as it was prior to the 90's. 4) To a time when...

For me it's all about the grab, so the slowest movers I would typically fish and enjoy would be a damsel nymph, but most of the time it's something more along the lines of leach, bugger, baitfish. But there's no denying that indi-fishing can be the ticket.

Complete stranger: Nay. Other than back in my guiding days. In my shop/host days I fished with some great people and a few that I wouldn't walk around the block with for the sake of business. I've fished with a few guys that I met through different FF bulletin boards, most were great, some...

On my 16' Hyde I run a 55lb./T/12V/42" Riptide with a lifepo 12v/100. Tall transoms and rocker, go with a 42" or longer.

I'm suddenly reminded of the inflatable wader scene from the 1964 classic, "Man's Favorite Sport?" Starring Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss.

Ordered the new Hyde last October for a March '26 build, picked her up last week. Here it is on the homeward bound leg of the trip just south of Idaho Falls, ID - just a short 1,100 mile run home.

I'll start off with this, maybe fifteen years ago my wife and I were exiting a midsized Sierra Lake in northern California when we came across two light pick-up trucks parked next to each other in opposing directions, both with twelve to fourteen aluminum v-hulls in tow. Leaning on the outer...

"Trout don’t live in ugly places.” Maybe not, but as many of us know, some Trout do visit ugly places seasonally.
