One Fish
You likely have heard my philosophy about when to fish: The best time is whenever you have time, every time you have time. In practice that means I have a lot of fishing trips that last a couple, three hours, I fit them in whenever I can. Ideally, those short trips are made at prime …

This may come as a shock to you, but I know very little about current fashion trends. I have been hearing something about some shoes called “Yeezy’s” and apparently they are the bomb. All I know is when I went to the Adidas web page I discovered that the “Yeezy’s” were all sold out. So, …

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder
I have often said that one of the things I like most about trout fishing is the beauty of the fish. Even a 6-inch brook trout can be a prized catch because they are such pretty fish. I am convinced that is part of the glamour of trout fishing, that and fly-rods, and the fact …
