In time for the holidays, Tough As Nails Barbie
While the rest of you are droning on about weights and tapers, modulus and action, I’ll be downstream …. … just me and my Blue Water Barbie. Via John Merwin and his Honest Angler blog, comes an eye opening video of a fellow catching a 100 poun...
Fish Can’t Read, Issue #2 Return of the eZine
The second issue of “Fish Can’t Read” debuted yesterday, and the boys at Dry Fly Media have really done a bang up job. Lot’s of diverse content, photo essays, and meat … from numerous continents and a variety of gamefish. … and yes, I a...
FlyAddicts.com launches with a flourish
While the massed regiments of printed media reel about in disarray, the agile “angling Taliban” are up to new, better, bigger, and more… The checkout counter at Safeway lost three stalwarts in Gourmet, Elegant Bride, and Shotgun Wedding – the...
If you can cast better than Brad Pitt, here’s your chance
If your tailing loop is more convoluted than most or a gob of pancake makeup will make you prettier than Brad Pitt, you might consider being immortalized on celluloid. Unfortunately you’ll have to live somewhere near Washington, Oregon, Northern ...
Now if they could just do something with discarded water bottles
Angling art takes many forms and covers multiple mediums – yet only the Pristine seems worthy of immortalizing. Us fellows that trod mud amidst the savagery of the rural-urban interface rarely see much celebration of our craft. Recycled milk cra...
Fishouflage, so your kid can wear it to his Prom
Talk about a “bait and switch” – I was all geared up to insist we all buy it so that our corpse was indistinguishable from the bottom, guaranteeing our watery resting place was undisturbed. Or, the astounding scientific evidence that we’d be...
Lunch Hour fodder: The debut of the FishCantRead eZine
I’m an unapologetic supporter of the eZine format. Hard copy is good, but eventually they are dog-eared, foodstained, crumpled, and left in the bathroom – where some non-fisherperson seizes them for a quick journey to the trash can. I like them b...
Some fellow is out there fishing for me
It was a bad idea to mention road kill as “a virtually untapped source of quality fly tying materials”. It’s risky enough pulling a barely controllable broadslide in traffic – what with the risk to life and limb coupled with all the cell phon...
Elk Hair Caddis still don’t tie themselves, something to consider before you call that Malibu halfway house
I’ve told you many times how fly tiers are a bestial lot lacking moral fiber and entirely untrustworthy when it comes to brightly colored wildlife … … all wildlife really … they’re hell on the drab stuff too. A couple of weeks ago Moldy Chu...
Reader’s Digest feels the sting of a war on two fronts
The print media continues to struggle in the face of the combined onslaught of economy and Internet. We get mighty few clues on how the fishing press is faring as so few are publicly traded. With Reader’s Digest filing Chapter 11, swapping debt for...
Hemlock Dam deconstruction via Webcam
A little environmental voyeurism is in order – and no, you won’t be asked for your credit card number. Webcams abound on the Internet, uniting them as wants to show with them as wants to watch. The University of Washington is playing to the hig...
Fish Can’t Read – but I’m not so sure
Fish Can’t Read is the latest in a burgeoning trend of online fly fishing magazines promising to be less trite than traditional angling fare. No expense was spared in sweeping together an eclectic mix of caustic, opinionated burnouts – fr...
An open letter to the Trout Underground-Moldy Chum collective fantasy
As the bloggers whose content is most likely to contain a semi-dressed hardbody - veiled in some really thin fishing angle, in a round about kind of way, and then maybe … You should know I lived your fantasy last night, and it didn’t live...
The Flyfish Journal debuts in August
As fast as they’re shuttering newspapers we’re getting more goodies to line the coffee table. The Flyfish Journal’s debut is scheduled for August 2009, featuring glossy paper, quality photographs, and the completely useless articl...
Lang’s Auction, the estate of Martin J. Keane
For the auction crowd, Lang’s April 17th auction contains the estate of Martin J. Keane, author of “Classic Rods and Rod Makers.” Lots of classic bamboo rods available with hoary and rarified names; Young, Leonard, Pre-Fire Leonard,...
Hatches Magazine is looking for the next Theodore Gordon
40 Rivers to Fish and his pals at Hatches Magazine are looking for a few crazed and desperate fishermen who can lie convincingly, or with a straight face, or both. … and they’re prepared to reward you handsomely for your prose. Hatches Ma...
