    Go To College, Study Fish...

    By Tim Romano

    I won't say I had a bad college experience by any measure, but if I could do it all over again I might just take the path Tom Detmer (my wife's cousin) is taking at the moment. Tommy as we like to call him is getting his PhD with the University of Colorado and CIRES here in Boulder, Colorado. The video below explains exactly what he's tackling and what most of his work consists of.

    Sounds like a pretty good way to spend some extra years in school. Getting a PhD and fishing a ton along the way. Now, I'm not sure I have the stomach for however many years it might take to get a PhD, but am...

    I know I said I'd be back at you with another caption contest on friday, but Deeter's out guiding so I promised him I'd cover his back. By now most of you should know the rules... Whomever writes the best caption to the image above (in our estimation) wins a prize. This week we're going to change it up a little bit and instead of winning gear, the winner will get...

    Behind the Scenes: Fly Fishing Video

    By Tim Romano

    The last few years have seen glut of independent films based around fly fishing footage.  Some, incredibly well produced and and some not so...  One of my favorite film makers, RA Beattie (a colorado local) just released his first full-length DVD with 4 feature films, 6 shorts, 4 award winners, and of course the obligatory "fishporn" cut. It's called Nervous Water and is exceptional. I've often thought about trying to make fishing videos, but after watching The Making of First Decent I realize I probably don't have...

    The Worlds Best Fishing Point-and-Shoot Camera?

    By Tim Romano

    Two weeks ago I wrote a story for the main page titled, "The Beginner's Guide to Better Fishing Photography". This week, thanks to my boys over at moldychum.com, I have stumbled upon what possibly might be the worlds best point and shoot camera for fishing related activities. The camera in question is the...

    Stimulus Watch: Any Money For Fishing?

    By Tim Romano

     

    At least once a week I get blast emails from my old man. Typically they're jokes or family happenings, etc... This week I got a link to Stimuluswatch.org.

    More PETA Absurdity

    By Kirk Deeter

    seakitten

    Congratulations to PETA for once again breaking the absurdity barrier.  The group just launched a new campaign to rename fish "sea kittens."  No, I am not making this up.  Apparently, the feeling is the "what's in a name" effect will stop the cruelty of fishing.  You know, if you imagine putting a hook in a little kitty's mouth, you'll be less inclined to drag those poor scaly creatures around with rod and reel.
