I have become a bit of a crazy person when it comes to tying flies. My OCD kicks in and I can spend well over 30 minutes on a single nymph trying to get the biots to sit just right or another 30 on a dry fly fiddling with the […]
While monstrous storms slam the East Coast and snow falls across the country, we are sitting (relatively) high and dry here in Gunnison, Colorado. This time last year, we were buried in over 10 feet of snow and life outside had seemingly ceased to exist. We exceeded our snowpack and […]
By Joseph Dahut At the beginning of the semester, my girlfriend Kerenn and I decided to plan a trip to a tropical destination to fish and surf after a tiring semester of work. We set our sights on eight days in Costa Rica and wanted to fund the trip from […]
By Jake Halle You’ve just ripped open your 23andme results only to discover you’re a quarter neandertal and ten percent idiot. Good news is, you’re qualified to start fly fishing in the winter! However, the bad news is you don’t know who your real grandfather is and wearing a helmet […]
It’s the time of year that the bonefish action slows down considerably and I begin seeing a plethora of winter steelhead and trout photos on internet, something I grew up doing in the Great Lakes. While I won’t be breaking out the two hander any time soon in Hawaii, there’s […]

And various other tugs of war off Catalina Island… Motivation… During a family trip to California as a 13 year-old, I went with my Dad on a party boat to wild and rocky Catalina Island. We caught plenty of pan-sized calico bass, but the star of the show was a […]
We have all heard that _______ (fill in the blank) company is crappy! That their hooks, their leaders, their fly lines, their fly rods, their waders, and any other product you can think of are just crap. It is all crap. The experiences that we have had personally, seen on […]
