He says he uses a combination of watercolor pencil, color pencil, graphite and burnishing to create the illustration. I get the feeling that he's just super passionate about doing this (in his spare time). I was so pumped about this one that now I want to get a crazy spotted one for him to...

I'm not sure how many of you are on Instagram but if you are, you might want to check out fish_as_art which is the site for Canadian scientific illustrator Paul Vecsei. He's a fisheries biologist based out of Yellowknife, NWT. I've always been a fan of good scientific illustration and when it...

Fantastic! It looked like a beautiful day on Lake Pacific - Rob is a good dude!

The last green flash I caught was in Kona back in 2015 but it was a good one (not edited or enhanced).

Over the 28 or so years we have chased albacore off the California and Oregon Coast, I have never really been able to reliably connect close in warm tuna water on the West Coast with the ENSO. This is more for the tuna heads but I thought it was interesting - a post from another site by Jan...

I second the edibility of jack mackerel. They are quite good and make amazing fish and chips!

Lance is correct - Jack and John no longer run guided dory trips. Jack recommends and sends his former clients to either Rob Perkin or Marty Wisehart (Sea Bliss) for fly fishing dory trips.

This just popped up on my weather nerd site. It's a way out in fantasy land for Dec-Jan-Feb. It's a Climate Forecast System (CFS), model forecast. CFSv2 is global seasonal climate forecast model that predicts weather patterns on weekly-to-monthly time scales (not day-to-day). I hope it's...

We are back in California for a few weeks - primarily to spend some time with the grandkids before school starts in mid August. Today we took our 7 year old grandson Clayton to Lake Siskiyou for some fishing and swimming. He's already good with a spinning rod - the fly rod is next.

You picked a good day - the ocean looked spectacular!

Here are a couple more precipitation forecasts for the next few days (NAMNST and GFS). The 18Z NAMNST is a higher resolution model that only runs out through Saturday night. Cliff apparently favors the Euro which appears to be the wettest of the three.

I've had a pair of the Dryft Primo zipper waders for about 9 years now without issue, I don't use them as much as I used to but when I do, it involves a fair amount of blackberry bushwacking along with a handful of days climbing in and out of a duck blind. I love the fit and durability. That...

Brian - have you met any of the WDFW staff involved in salmon management? Is WDFW committed to using VTR data for modeling by their biometrics folks? To continue a bit off topic, N. Metz makes some excellent point in regards to organization and lobbying. The North of Falcon meetings during...

Love the hoody!

Your lawn looks just like mine!

The local bachelor herd was hanging out at the next door neighbor's apple tree this morning.

Here's the latest from my weather group by Jan Null (one of the site administrators and certified consulting meteorologist): The latest 3-month RONI (Relative Oceanic Niño Index) for April-May-June is at +0.47, just shy of the threshold for a weak El Niño. But looking at the sharp upward...

When I was a kid spending my summers fishing small streams in Santa Clara County and the backcountry of Yosemite National Park - it was a brown hackle peacock. Now I really like fishing the Jeffery Delia version of a brown woolly worm in both lakes and estuaries. He calls it a wonder worm.

Jack Harrell (owner of Pacific City Fly Fishing) gave me a rather unique variation of the Clouser which he ties. He fishes them under a float during slack tide.while targeting estuary fall chinook.
