I Probably Needed Beer Goggles For This Instead of Trout Goggles.
I have trout on the brain these days. Perhaps it’s because like many of you, I am in the dead center of the winter trout-fishing black hole. The furthest point on the calendar from when I will be on a trout stream in Montana. Of course I am surrounded by Texas Hill Country trout and [...]
In The Words of the Byrds…
To everything – turn, turn, turn There is a season – turn, turn, turn And a time for every purpose under heaven Anyone who know me even just the littlest bit, or has read this blog even a few times, knows that 2010 has been a very big year for me. The biggest. I am [...]
Let Them Eat Trout. Cake.
My parents hosted a post-wedding celebration for us a few days ago and instead of going with traditional holiday fare for dessert, my mom surprised us with this incredibly life-like trout cake. It was unbelievable.My dad measured it with a tape measure then challenged the Professor to guess how big the trout was, and I [...]

I Was Hot On The Rabbit Trail But Lost My Scent
I was was intently searching my computer hunting for a superb fishing video of Little Chick catching trout on the Blackfoot this summer when I was thoroughly knocked off track by countless random photos I came across in what can only be described as a mysterious filing system I once created. Little Chick’s fishing story [...]
If the Keys Won’t Have Me, Maybe Venice Will
Last week the Professor and I fished two days in the MS marsh looking for redfish. As you know we had success on the first day, but the very next morning fish were scarce and skittish. Which gave me more time to try my hand at poling the skiff. I can’t believe how hard it [...]
To Wind or Unwind, That Is The Question
It was the last day of our recent Montana trip and we found ourselves in an uncharacteristic debacle. Should we fish or not? We’d already had some great days on the Beaverhead and Big Hole and that last day was cloudy (great streamer fishing) and chilly (great streamer fishing) and super windy (ugh). The wind [...]
Mellow Yellow
Sorry I haven’t had a chance to finish the updates on our recent Montana trip. My computer staged a non-violent sit-in to protest overuse, but then proceeded to experience full on cardiac arrest last week. It was finally carried away on a stretcher yesterday and after a few rounds with the paddles, it is now [...]
Wynona’s Big Brown Beaverhead
Okay, so the only brown we caught on the Beaverhead wasn’t big at all, it was a teeny little guy, but we did have two days of primus prime primo dry fly fishing on the Beaverhead catching several nice rainbows. I caught this fish on a trico right out of the gate. The Professor [...]
Pink Ribbon
I wish I could take credit for coordinating my pink shirt with breast cancer awareness month. But I did catch this fiesty Beaverhead rainbow yesterday with an incrdible ribbon of pink on it. Gorgeous fish, great float. Think Pink. [Posted with iBlogger from my iPhone]
