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 [...]

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 [...]
