Finding a good fishing guide can be a daunting task sometimes, especially if you're going to an unfamiliar area.

Here is a website to check out if you're someone who travels to fish, made that a potential New Year's Resolution, or just weary of Google searches: The Fly Fishing Guide Directory. [ Read Full Post ]

Greetings from Tierra del Fuego in Argentina, where Tim Romano and I are enjoying a brilliant week of fly fishing for goliath sea-run brown trout from the legendary Kau Tapen Lodge. It's a surreal experience to be standing in the iron-gray currents of the Rio Grande, with the wind buffeting across the stark, austral landscape, casting two-handed rods as you're being watched by guanacos and condors. And the take by a fresh brown is sheer thunder. [ Read Full Post ]

Warning: The video above contains explicit language.

It's Tuesday and I'm guessing you already need a little break from reality. Here's my little selection of funny and entertaining video snippets from around the world wide web. While they all don't deal with fly fishing explicitly, they feature fish, boats, and boats on fire (who doesn't like videos about boats on fire). Hopefully you haven't seen them all. Enjoy.

Back in the late 1980s, I was wearing flannel before anyone even heard of Pearl Jam, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I’m at the forefront of food fashion as well, at least according to the Food Channel list of what food trends will be hot in 2013. In fact, I’m betting most Wild Chef readers are ahead of the trend that says smoking will be the next big thing in the restaurant scene. Firing up the smoker is just one of the many techniques we regularly rely on.
 
Over at Epicurious, it’s more of the same with their claim that the white-hot focus on all things below of the Mason-Dixon line will push even further south to Brazil, where churrascaria reigns. I will admit I was getting tired of food media hitting me with yet another recipe for the world’s best fried chicken and waffles, so reading about meat-centric Brazilian barbecue is definitely something to look forward to.

We recently asked you to guess our upcoming trip destination; the winner to receive signed, first-edition copies of Tim Romano's "What a Trout Sees" and my "Fly Fishing for Carp."

Ejunk, you nailed it: We're going to Argentina. 

Romano and I will soon be departing for Argentina to fish for golaith brown trout on the Rio Grande River. We will be staying at the famous Kau Tapen Lodge. From there, we will head up to Cordoba to shoot doves. [ Read Full Post ]

Yeah, it's a bit cliché but I want to know what you all are planning on doing differently fishing wise for 2013. A friend and I had a conversation the other day about what we'd like to learn, try, visit and do more of next year. We came up with a number of items.

Mine include really learning how to spey cast with some proficiency and starting to figure out our local reservoirs for big lakers and musky on the fly. I'd also like to bone up on my local warm water locations. Lord knows there's enough of them. I simply need to get out a bit more and do some exploring. [ Read Full Post ]
