Missing: 1 Lucky Fishing Hat

July 17, 2012

I grow rather fond of my fishing gear, irrationally so… I have lucky flies, lucky hats, lucky shirts, lucky fly bags and lucky fly rods. I’m not sure if these things are actually lucky, but I grow attached to my gear. We — meaning myself and my gear — bond during time together on the [...]

Good Mountain Town Gone Wild

July 9, 2012

I could write a book about Growing Up Garlock. The multitude of traditions, the many little quirks and family style occasions that mostly centered around the Outdoors that I grew up with and still live by. The 4th of July is one of those occasions where the Garlock tribe has always come together for good [...]

Shin Deep: With a side of Fly Fishing Fun

June 12, 2012

Last Fall I did two things that I’ve been meaning to write about. First, I read the book Shin Deep: A Fly Fisher’s Love For Moving Water by Chris Hunt. Second, I spent a day fishing with Chris, also of Eat More Brook Trout. Along with Michael Bantam of DreamCast Idaho and Emily of The River Damsel. About Chris, [...]

Birthday Brown

May 21, 2012

Whenever a Birthday comes along I find myself faced with the same questions. And no, the questions aren’t pondering the meaning of life as the time clock ticks another one off on me. I’m saving the meaning of life questions for a more pressing time, like if I find myself drowning after taking a step too [...]

Blogger Tour 2012: A Writing Contest

May 14, 2012

When I was a freshly hatched fly fisher, my first destination fly fishing trip was Yellowstone National Park. I figured I had 2 months of self taught fly fishing under my rod, I had caught 3 or 4 wee little trout (mostly by accident) and clearly I was ready for the big leagues. As far [...]

April 24, 2012

So, one of the handy dandy internal programs here on this site of mine is the ability to see how people stumble their way to my website via organic Google search terms. This is a screenshot (I could not resist taking) of an afternoon worth of search terms that Google took a look at and [...]

Bonefishing is hazardous to your Fly Fishing routine…

April 17, 2012

It’s been a year now since I went Fly Fishing for Bonefish on Andros South, which means I can officially swing into a nostalgic frame of mind. When I started down memory lane, I started going through my photos from the trip. Then I started watching the videos I took during the trip. Then I started thinking about my [...]

Spring has Sprung?

April 3, 2012

Over on the OBN I asked people from across the nation to share Spring pictures for all (me) to enjoy. In everyone’s pictures I’m seeing blooms and greenness that is making me rather envious. Bandon and I went down to the river the other day because: I was going stir crazy and it was getting ugly [...]

A Fly Fishing Project to Kickstart

March 30, 2012

First Up. It’s been awhile. I KNOW…and that’s all I need to say about that. I wanted to jump onto this neglected site of mine today and give a shout out to a project I think is rather swanky. Many of you are already familiar with Mr. Unaccomplished Angler: He who is creator and Author [...]
