"Our First Walleye"

User Description: It was in the mid thirties and the wind was blowing 10 to 15 mph but my 9 year old Brandon just had to try out his new baitcaster. So we bundled up and headed to the spillway. As I was rigging up my pole he hooked up this nice walleye after just five casts. Just look at the smile on his face and you know exactly how he feels about his 22 inch walleye! [ Read Full Post ]

About 8 months ago I was leafing through Europe's Angling International and a new creation from Spanish company Thinkfish caught my attention. Their new modular fly storage system, dubbed the FlyPad, had scored some awards at a major European tackle convention. Turns out that U.S. fly tackle maker Cortland was intrigued by the FlyPad, too, and they are now the official state-side distributor. That meant I was able to get my mitts on an early sample, and it's a pretty innovative little item, though it does have pros and cons.

This week in our vintage tackle contest we have a reel owned by Brian Cochran. This funky-looking item was handed down to Brian by his father, and his grandfather was the original owner. Despite first glances, Dr. Todd Larson of The Whitefish Press and "Fishing For History" blog explains that this is not a fly reel, but rather a unique style of casting reel developed in Indiana.

After more than a year of anticipation, I finally got my hands on an advance copy of the new "Remington Camp Cooking" cookbook. Chef Charlie Palmer first clued me into the project when I sat next to him at dinner during the 2012 SHOT Show.

As I mentioned in that post, Palmer is one of us, a hunter and all-around regular guy, despite the fact that he’s responsible for more than a dozen restaurants around the country, as well as a handful of wine shops and boutique hotels. You wouldn’t know it by sitting next to him as he relates stories of hunting with his boys. True to that everyman style, the recipes in Remington Camp Cooking aren’t out of reach for most home cooks.

I'm not the first writer to offer a lesson on patience when setting the hook while fishing dry flies, but I'm pretty sure I'll be the first to do it like this...

I went diving again today off Kaua'i, where I encountered the state fish of Hawaii.

It's called a humuhumunukunukuapua'a. [ Read Full Post ]

An oil pipeline rupture that has spewed over 12,000 gallons of crude oil into a small Arkansas town is starting to affect local wildlife, according to this story on Fox News:
The environmental impacts of an oil spill in central Arkansas began to come into focus Monday as officials said a couple of dead ducks and 10 live oily birds were found after an ExxonMobil pipeline ruptured last week.

"I'm an animal lover, a wildlife lover, as probably most of the people here are," Faulkner County Judge Allen Dodson told reporters. "We don't like to see that. No one does." Officials are urging people in Mayflower, a small city about 20 miles northwest of Little Rock, not to touch any injured or oiled animals as crews clean up Friday's spill. About 12,000 barrels of oil and water have been recovered since ExxonMobil's Pegasus pipeline sprung a leak, spewing oil onto lawns and roadways and nearly fouling a nearby lake.
