With an aggressive response to our SMOTM contest, the trophy smolts are continuing to come to hand. Got a fish that makes your #14 parachute caddis look huge? Fire it over. A northern pike which could be mistaken for a small pikeminnow? A smallmouth that is more small than mouth? Do share. Winner for this initial contest scores a Cloudveil Run Don't Walk pullover in Polartec, announced July 2.  See more smolts...

Between the tree and a manky beaver carcass, we caught several nice fish, I then sent my friends back down to the big ditch where, fortunately, the Mother’s Day hatch is no longer an issue.

Some fisherman are thinking about jumping tarpon, others are thinking about carp...

I been all the godamighty way from Cookie Cutter, California to Dog Blow, Delaware...

There is a new wave just outside of Palisade that tempts me, but what if one of those errant gas trucks is tumbling down river?

At least I got to float for morels on the swollen Jellystone with Doug and Andrea Peacock before I prostrated myself.
