I meant to do that (and other fly fishing flubs)

June 10, 2011

Flub #1 ~ I caught this fish when technically I was trying for a different one that I missed. Flub #2 ~ My pronunciation of Tom Larimers last name. Flub #3 ~ Try to act all smart and cool-mo-dee when trying to hold a slippery (little suckers) bonefish. As you’ll see in the video, the fish taught [...]

Home is not where the Bonefish are…

April 5, 2011

I’m home now from the Deneki FIBFest. Someone please pass me a box of tissue because I’m not entirely happy about that fact. It’s not often that a one week trip will give me enough blog fodder to keep this site in business for months. I have pages and pages of notes, I have 19 [...]
