I’ve been in internet no-man’s land for the past 5 days at the SE FFF Conclave and then a day’s fishing, so no posts were possible. This is a catch-up. The Conclave was really fun. As always, there was plenty of talking on my part and on the part of others. I many ways it […]
Jeff Currier is back from a trip to the Baja for rooster fish, and had a great time. Roosters are fish of the surf–as you can see in the photo below–and anglers walk the beach and cast a relatively short line to these brutes. Better have a big reel loaded with a half mile of […]
Forwarded to me: Some fish are just outsized. It might be fun for the first 8 hours; after that it would just be work. This is a darn interesting picture and story even if you aren’t into fishing, But please show it to anyone you know that likes to fish. FYI: This sturgeon is still […]
Jason has me reading Fishing the Film in its final laid-out version. It’s our final proofing and opportunity to add some tid-bits of info here and there. It’s really shaping up to be a very fine look at Fishing the Film. We’re both excited to get it to the printer in the next week or […]

The steelhead are in, the steelhead are in. So are the suckers, by the thousands. So, we caught steelhead, and we caught suckers. I started the day with an egg fly dropped from the hook of a black and blue collared leech, but soon gave up on the egg fly–too many suckers. The weather was […]
Steelhead season is upon us in Wisconsin and the Great Lakes in general. We had lots of snow pack and then a fast, warming trend with rain that blew the streams out right proper. A big slug of large steelhead shot in on the flood wave and are now prowling the gravels of our streams […]
As I got ready to shoot photos of the second and third days of the expo, I noted that the camera battery was dead. So I reached into the bag for the second battery, and guess what? It was still at home on the charger. How’s that for rushing around and forgetting an important item? […]
The bullhead tying design can be added to a sculpin very easily. In addition, I add a bit of flash to this design to form the body and tail. It’s a very fast, “Down and Dirty” design that works extremely well. It’s also very easy to upgrade with only a few minor changes. watch for […]
