Well, I wanted to hit certain rivers that get runs of Landlocks in the fall this weekend but with the weather forecast and the obvious result, I think I made the right call. Those streams should be good in the next couple of days I would think but I don’t have the oppurtunity to head […]

On a day when my wife’s suspicions of me and my sanity were confirmed, Alex and I headed out to the special regs section of the Battenkill. It’s open all year but I think this may be the last for this season based on the 3 foot jump in levels.

TO BRISTOL BAY?
Every now and then […]

Made my last trip of the year to the salt. Hit the water for two days and found the first day facing a brutal SSW wind that was tough to deal with as it left no place to get out of it. My brother joined me and he is a bait fisherman so there were […]

An article that will make one think about the way we treat the worlds oceans.  I don’t know if its exactly accurate in terms of the health of the oceans fisheries, or the future outcome, but our current relationship to the worlds ocean fish as a food base is not good.  I have witnessed the […]
