Exhausted!  What a weekend + TROUT

Every single day of this short weekend was jam packed full of outdoor fun.  Spring is quickly arriving and with it comes a torrent of outdoor opportunities.

Social Media, Twitter, and Fishing

Today was my second day at the Greater Philadelphia Outdoor Sportshow in Oaks PA.  There were a few purchases made but more importantly, I had the  honor of meeting some new fishing buddies and scoring this blogs first big time interview.

Dam It!  Or...  Don't...  Dam Removal Is Cool!

I saw this on (soon to be pro Bass fisherman) Jody White’s Twitter feed today (@vtbasser) This video is all about removing the Swanton Dam on the Missisquoi River.  It goes into some great history of why dams were put on rivers and why we might be better off without them. The video does a [...]

 
First Go At A Foam Frog Popper

The Cult of Tenkara and The 2012 Somerset Fly Fishing Show

Is Tenkara fishing a fad?  Could Tenkara be some sort of cult that is brainwashing the fragile young minds of the fly fishing world?  Could Owl Jones be right? I’m not really sure about any of any of the recent internet banter surrounding Tenkara fishing but boy, Tenkara USA had a pretty booth! While I’m still trying [...]

 
In Need Of A Good Fishing Knife

Lately I’ve been developing an obsession of sorts…  I’m drawn to purchase something useful but dangerous, sharp but pretty… The object of my affection is simple, a good (and cheap as possible) all around fishing knife.  While I currently own many pocket knives and a few multi-tools, I’ve never liked any of them enough to [...]
