Starting on Monday February 10th you need to be at People’s Brewing Company in Lafayette, Indiana at 6pm. Join fellow fly tyers for some good times and some good beer. If you don’t tie or don’t even fish, show up anyways, someone will teach you! In the next few months we’ll be hosting an Iron…
You like surprises? I like surprises. Zane Porter from Fly Fishing Ruins Lives knocked it out the park with a painting he just did. I tied a small for big smallies. Same pattern I used all summer for the donks, but I swapped out bucktail in place of the craft fur. I posted it on…
First, put on some Willie and Snoop.
Ok. Now. Here we go.
The master of the popper asked me to tie him a simple white streamer with a step by step. This streamer is what I throw for smallies. The only difference is I normally use craft fur.
Ok, here’s the deal. I’m giving one lucky person their choice of a 5wgt GPX or a 5wgt Ultimate Trout SHARKWAVE line from Scientific Anglers next Friday (1-24-14). You won’t be able to buy this line in shops until March so if you wanna be that cool kid on the block with the newest toy…

Seems like lately my life involves staring out a window at snow and pacing from room to room muttering to myself. There are brief respites from the doldrums when I get to take the dog out to the creek to let him stretch his legs. The other day my friend Eli and I loaded the…
Winter doesn’t suck. It’s the not fishing as much because those warmwater fish have fled for deep holes that makes it suck. It’s the not wanting to stress a fish that is trying to survive another Midwest winter that makes winter fishing these creeks seem criminal. Just like fishing for them when the water gets…
December 24th, 2011 was my first post on this here website blog thingamabob. It’s been a fairly strange trip if truth be told. Where I’m at now is miles from where I started and for that I am truly grateful. I started this off with no intentions but to get me back into writing and…
When the marshmallow known as Fritz went to the park, I also took some photos of my 2007 Subaru Forester XT Sport. It’s one of the rarest of the rare. Urban Gray Metallic. 5 speed. Only 125 of them were made. I might have a problem with my addiction to my car.
This weekend Fritz and I went over to my favorite local creek so he could run around and act like the giant goofy mutt he is. It was damned cold and the snow was falling thick. I was the only person there. That alone is worth it’s weight in gold. The only tire tracks were…
