woo Wednesday, February 8, 2012 Continued from The Senex – Part 1 With the ease of decades of practice, he stripped three or four arm lengths of line from the reel, letting the current pull the slack form the line. With the quickness of a man half his age, the […]

woo Friday, February 3, 2012 It’s funny how certain sounds and smells can remind you of a place. There is one song, for example, that brings to my mind late nights on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, driving too fast with no lights on and all the windows rolled down, the […]
Dustin Carlson Friday, January 27, 2012 Stringing up two-handed rods can take a little time, so it is always best to have them assembled and ready to go.
Marc Payne Monday, January 16, 2012 I suck at tying and fishing dry flies. If you want a nymph, I can fix you up. Soft hackle? No problem. But if it is a dry fly, you can forget it. Dry flies are congruent, poised, and angelic. Nymphs and soft hackles […]
Dustin Carlson Wednesday, January 11, 2012 Get kids involved in fishing…it is a far better past time than staring at a computer screen or a gaming device. Teach them young to get out and enjoy the beautiful outdoors the same way that you do. For helpful hints, visit: Take Me […]
Rob Bridge Tuesday, December 13, 2011 It has been said that a dog is man’s best friend. Never has this adage been more true than with the relationship between an angler and his/her dog. Fishing dogs are loyal, willing partakers of the adventures we pursue as anglers. The connection is […]

Owl Jones Tuesday, October 18, 2011 It’s 7 a.m. on a foggy Blue Ridge Morning “I’ve got him! Ohhhhhh, man…don’t go into that log….come on, baby….come on….hold tippet! Hold!” It was fourteen inches of angry brown trout in two feet of clear, cold creek. The thing wasn’t giving up without […]
John Margaroni Friday, September 23, 2011 I met my new fishing buddy, Ken , during a 3 month stay in Rexburg, Idaho. We were thrown together by some mutual friends that knew we both enjoyed fishing for trout. The story I want to tell you is why Ken was undoubtedly […]
We had anticipated this trip for weeks. Three days with my buddy Brad on the South Holston River, camping and fishing. It was late summer and the reports had told us that the large browns were feeding actively on surface patterns. The thought of hooking into a 20+ inch brown […]
Scott Slivers Friday, September 2, 2011 Sending fly rods in for repairs and hearing the stories behind them is part of working at a fly shop. After spending a decent amount of time behind the counter one almost becomes morbidly interested in how these fishing tools meet their demise. Some […]
Nick Granato Tuesday, July 26, 2011 Typically no one thinks of fishing streamers in the middle of summer. Especially not when fish are looking up for terrestrials, caddis or large stoneflies. In all honesty several of my best streamers days have been had in June through September, not late fall […]
