The Classical Angler: The Forgotton Valley
http://classicangler.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-forgotton-valley.html
Sunday, February 15, 2015. There are moments that often stand out for sensory overload, where feelings, smells, and sights of an uncommon kind come together to form an impression so real and compelling that we never forget them. The less commonplace the experience, the richer the memories, even if sometimes the fascination stems from a sense of horror. Erik Helm, 2015. Why put them on a highly visible hill? Next to this initial sight and again on the left side of the road as we slowly rolled on with mout...

The HeadHunter: Casting For Steelhead & Salmon
http://steelheadhunter.blogspot.com/2012/07/casting-for-steelhead-salmon.html
A blog devoted to Steelhead and Salmon Rivers. Casting For Steelhead and Salmon. In the words of Dec Hogan the fly rod and the line are essentially a "Weapons Delivery System", with the fly being the weapon for the gathering of Steelhead and Salmon. I like this way of looking at the process of fly fishing for for these fish. I have caught many fish with either no reel, or a malfunctioning reel, and while this is also possible, it is again, inefficient. Reels are necessary too. Below: I perform a cross bo...

The Classical Angler: January 2015
http://classicangler.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 25, 2015. The Bell Curve of Fly-Fishing, a life (and gear) Journey. There is a famous story I like to tell from time to time about a day on the water Joe and I spent with a young guy we had never fished with before. I began to ponder this, and came up with a definition for this phenomena of acquisition of gear and the amount we carry with us, and how we approach the fishing, ‘The Bell Curve of Fly-Fishing.’. How the heck did this happen? 8221; I thought that was what the seminar was all a...

The Classical Angler: Trout are like a box of chocolates…
http://classicangler.blogspot.com/2014/06/trout-are-like-box-of-chocolates.html
Thursday, June 26, 2014. Trout are like a box of chocolates…. Trout are like a box of chocolates… you never know what you are going to get. Or…Dry fly fishing and the mysteries of probability. Then we sit down on the bank and busy ourselves with searches through fly-boxes, looking for the answers to life, and quietly day-dreaming. Not so fast. He who chuckles and swells with pride and smiles should be prepared for the fickle nature of trout and bugs. Did someone drop poison in the river? Perhaps sometime...

The Classical Angler: The Short Game
http://classicangler.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-short-game.html
Friday, November 14, 2014. Enter the short game. Once one’s mind is opened to all the possibilities of the short game you may never look at water the same way again, and music will become the space between the notes. You may find yourself amazed at all the waters and possibilities that you passed by, intent on riffles, undercut banks, deep pools, and other obvious structures of fish habitat, and missing the little things just at your peripheral vision. This discovery changed my perspective and outlook on...

flyfishdude: Temporary reprieve
http://theflyfishdude.blogspot.com/2012/09/temporary-reprieve.html
Life as an indigenous flyfisherman. Wednesday, September 26, 2012. So I admit that since my burgeoning steelhead obsession is slowly taking over my flyfishing life (which is a very large part of my overall life! At that moment I realized what I had been neglecting and missing out on. I realized that regardless of the amount of difference between this and chasing steel, they were both fun.not only fun but I'll stop just short of saying they're both necessary. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm the du...
