Apalachicola Fishing Report
Good fun around St. George Island drifting on the bayside in the kayak. Didn’t get any pics of the redfish or flounder we caught but all in all a great trip.

For the Minimalist: Tenkara
No reel, no guides, no fly line, just a simple telescopic rod with a short furled line attached to the tip. Tenkara takes minimalism to a new level in the fly-fishing world, seems like the perfect backpacking rig. I’d definitely miss double hauling but the one-handed casting technique would be a nice respite on a [...]

Off the Hanger: Car Camp
Last minute change in plans for a fishing trip negates the need for a hotel, so we’ll be packing up the car and heading out to the Platte. Jacket – Patagonia Rain Shadow Headlamp – Lego Chair – Lafuma Maxi Pop’up Camp Chair Shirt - JCrew Gingham Corn – Jiffy Pop Cup – Red Enamel [...]

Fishing Report: Green River
Great weather the second day (50 degrees with 40mph wind the first, we’ll forget about that) and overall decent fishing, especially if you’re into whitefish. Highlight of the trip was casting the bro-in-law’s new Scott rod, had to give it back before I get used to that kind of luxury. Always good to get out [...]

Wyoming Born – Cliff Outdoors
We’ll be headed up to Gray Reef in a couple weeks (if the insane water levels subside) and might just have to stop by the world headquarters of Cliff Outdoors. Hands down the best fly boxes on the market born and bred in Casper, WY.

Seasonal Fishing
While waiting for the runoff to subside, we hit up some local ponds for a bit of spring panfish on flies. I’m starting to look forward to this every year not only as a way to keep fishing during a normal downtime in the trout schedule but just for the sheer numbers of these little [...]

Off the Hanger: Travel Fishing
At least one of the MAWOI employees (ahem . . .) manages to get out a few times a year to far off lands to do a bit of fishing. Wether its Ontario or Aruba I usually take about 80% of the same gear. Watch: Timex Easy Reader with NATO strap. I’ve been eyeing these [...]

Off the Hanger: Spring Fishing
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
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 [...]
