Fishing Online: 1,000 Best Websites
If you had asked me a while back, I'd have answered that a book on web sites is a stillborn idea. End of story.
Esopus Creek
I've never been to Montana, and I've never fished the Madison for rainbows.
This past weekend, I fished Esopus Creek from aways downstream back up to the Five Arches Bridge. The rainbows might not...
Danish gallery
A few photos to give you an idea of how GFF partner Martin Joergensen spent his domestic fishing days in the first part of this year - primarily in pursuit of his beloved sea trout, but also out to get some pike and other species.
See the pictures here.
Beaverkill
I think we're well into summertime conditions in the Catskills. I fished the Beaverkill this past weekend and I could easily wade across the head of Cairn's Pool and had no trouble bouncing up Horse B...
Spinning
I rarely spin fish any more. I used to a lot, but somehow fly fishing got a better hold and seemed so much more fun.
I also catch more fish fly fishing than I ever did spinning. It might be because...
Rising Star
The Austin blanks from All Star Rods are quickly gaining a reputation among custom rod builders as being among the best performing blanks on the market, regardless of price. Bob Petti had a chance to build and fish a 4wt recently.

Re: Envy, envy!
Sometime the grass is just greener, huh?
I'm longing for the streams, when I have some great ocean fishing right outside my door.
This is June and in May and June I can fish any piece of salt...
Re: Envy, envy!
There are ups and downs of living in the Catskills. One obvious up is the abundance of trout fishing. There are some days where I just can't decide where to go. Within an hour of my house are all the ...
Envy, envy!
Those pictures are really nice, Bob! I wish I was the one that had a stream as close to my house as you have - with such beautiful fish!
Living in a large city like I do - Copenhagen with 1.5 milli...
Tying Emergers
Wow. Three hundred and forty four pages of emergers. Leeson and Schollmeyer have done it again.
Unlike their massive Fly Tier's Benchside Reference, the emphasis in this book is on patterns and st...
Two Centuries of Soft-Hackled Flies
This is the book that soft hackled aficionados have been waiting years to see. Not only is it chock full of wonderful patterns and photos of well tied flies, but it contains summaries of all the class...
Oh yeah - the fish
What beautiful fish. They would crash a CDC&Elk or a Foam Humpy with abandon, but only if you were careful not to spook them. It was fun fishing - the type I have almost forgotten about.
Small Streams
I found a real gem of a small stream near my house. No sounds of nearby traffic, or farm equipment, or much of anything else other than forest and stream sounds. Five minutes after leaving the car, yo...
