Off the Hanger: Spring Fishing

By jrose | Published: February 23, 2010

With any luck the weather will take a turn for the better and we’ll be able to hit the streams soon enough. The bro-in-law is getting geared up (opted for the Scott over the Winston, atta boy) so I thought I’d take stock of my kit for possible upgrades. Hat – Filson (good warm/cool option [...]

Off the Hanger: Bike to the Film Fest

By jrose | Published: January 22, 2010

Heads or Tails {Trailer} from Mad Phil Media on Vimeo. “Rise” Trailer from Costa Sunglasses on Vimeo. Couple of selections from the upcoming Film Tour I’ll be hitting up next week in Fort Collins. Very Warren Miller in fishing form (I could stand to hear a little less metal in the soundtracks) but overall, really nice filmmaking [...]

Elkhorn Fly Rods & Reels

By jrose | Published: January 20, 2010

Local company based in Loveland, CO putting out some solid classic designs and affordable modern rods and reels. Great lineup including my new favorite rod setup, the 7 piece travel (no checking required on the plane so when your luggage is sent to Aruba you can at least still fish).

Fly Fishing: Old School, New School

By jrose | Published: December 17, 2009

There has to be something said for a sport, which through the years, can be performed equally as well with gear that hasn’t changed for 50 years as it can with the high tech stuff rolling off the shelves today. I do have to admit I’m just as fascinated by the new fishing technology as [...]

Off the Hanger : Crayfish Boil

By jrose | Published: August 25, 2009

This is one of those activities that seems like everyone who lives around some fresh water could easily do. Fun for the kiddies too (just keep ‘em away from the sharp end). I’ve done it in the past just catching them one by one, but it makes it rough to get a meal, I think [...]

Off the Hanger : Green River

By jrose | Published: July 29, 2009

Headed to one of my favorite places to fish in a few weeks, the Green River in southern Wyoming. If you’d get your casting skills up to par, I’d haul you along, but I’m in serious fishing company for this trip and there’s not much room for gettin’ learned. King Ropes hat as usual Simms Flats [...]

Eppinger Dardevle

By jrose | Published: July 27, 2009

Started in 1906 by Lou Eppinger after spending a month in the Ontario wilderness fishing with a prototype rig. Instant classic. I’ve always been so far in the fly fishing camp that lures are just fascinating as objects to me and nothing beats a classic red and white Dardevle. I do like the [...]
