Located in the exact geographical center of the state amongst brown trout stillwaters, bass ponds and hectares of carp flats this vending machine probably has whatever it is that you forgot to toss into the gear bag when you left the house three hours ago.
Crawbuggery carpy goodness.

Posted in Real Heroes of Fly Fishing, Revelry, Ridiculously Brilliant, Time for Action, Your Custom Drifter on February 6th, 2011 by SaltyThere are times when it seems like all I ever see in the news is the negative. I can be a fairly pessimistic person, so perhaps my natural bent leans towards finding what’s tore up in the world. It was pretty damn nice to see a post on The Headhunter about a couple of guys making it happen for Project Healing Waters. If you don’t know, Project Healing Waters is about helping vets with the physical and emotional rehab process through fly fishing. Helping out vets who need it is most worthy in my book, so when Adipose Boatworks figured out a way to overcome some of the difficulties with putting a wheelchair in a drifter, shot, my eyes got all damn misty. I’m looking at the bow platform they fabricated and one I’m struck by how professional it looks, and how you know they spent some money to get it right. That is money you know they aren’t going to recoup by selling those commercially but they did it anyway so a young kid can fish without being limited by his wheelchair.Nice work by all involved.

Nature photography, at least in my book, should have the capacity to shock and amaze the viewer. Not in a Jerry Springer-ish fashion, mind you, but in a more vicarious thrill-of-the-wilds-from-your-desk type of experience. Wildlife photos should elicit some variety of atavistic rumblings deep in the medulla oblongata, a brief spark of urge and instinct that bounces around in your refined, upright-and-well-groomed hominid skull.
While I am not suggesting that you build a campfire, draw crude pictures of animals on your cubicle wall, and drag the boss’s secretary around by the hair, I will suggest that you take a look at the work of Alan Corbett. Former Barrister, ex-tropical dive guide, now professional photographer and bear guide, Alan has travelled the length and breadth of Alaska to photograph the natural world. Having discovered flyfishing within the last few years, I am willing to bet that we will see some awesome fish photos from this guy pretty soon.
Give him a look-see at alancorbett.com and drop him a line if you like his work, want to take him fishing, or just need to know how to make a bitchin’ curry and naan bread dinner.

Bobber Fishing
Posted in Good Fishing Is Where You're At, Lazy Ass YouTube Posting, Ridiculously Brilliant, yet another excuse fer drinkin' on March 11th, 2010 by Wally
Tie on one or two of your best chironomid pupa patterns and rig up an indicator so that your flies suspend just over the bottom, cast out, watch and wait – bobber fishing. At best it’s non-stop fish catching action, one slab trout after another, pure evil genius madness.
The chironomid faithful fish from prams and use depth finders, thermometers, stomach pumps, bug nets, fish nets and a color-c-lector. The rest of us stillwater geeks fish from whatever floats, tie on a black pupa and a San Juan Worm and call it good. If that doesn’t work right away crack a beer, have a twist of tobacco and fire up the hibachi. Spend the day eatin, drinkin, spittin, and fishin – you probably deserve it.
