Channel 16 out of Scranton PA has reported a fish kill (mostly trout) of several thousand fish in a creek in the Poconos.  It appears to be caused by a sewer line project that effected the ph levels in the creek.  It is not entirely clear but it looks to have happened in a popular trout stream called...

I was a bit apprehensive to write about Pelican Creek after my trip to Yellowstone.  I was not sure I wanted the rest of the world to know about it but Pelican Creek is an important story that should be shared. Last month we made a visit, to this wonderful creek, on opening day after it had been closed...

A friend of mine calls striped bass “rockfish”.  He prefers that name because they are often found around rocks.  It’s tough to argue with his logic, as well as his catch rate around rocky coastal zones concerning striped bass.  While I prefer the name “striper”, I agree...

Since we have been talking about fashion I thought it might make sense to mention that Chanel announced an addition to its sport line this June.  Yes you guessed it, it is the super luxurious carbon-rosewood fly fishing rod, reel, and Chanel’s special selection of flies all delivered in a Chanel...

After landing in Bozeman earlier this month, we went down to the local grocery store to pick up a couple things for our trip to the Madison.  We run into a cute twenty something checkout girl who has a fine looking hackle in her hair.  In the process of scanning our beer, wine, beer, granola, beer etc....

 It has been four days since I have been in Northeastern Yellowstone hunting for trout.  Even the marmot at Roosevelt Lodge (where we stayed) is upset about the fishing conditions in that part of the park.  His daily commute from under the community bathrooms to the General Store has been met with...

This week I enjoyed a quick trip to a local creek near Rochester.  Summertime is the best time to fish this warm water creek.  Low water levels push smallmouth bass into the deepest holes.  It’s not uncommon to see half a dozen or more smallmouth in one pool.  There may be a barren stretch...

Each Summer our family makes a trip to the Wellesley Island area of the Thousand Islands.  My wife’s family has some property up there and we are blessed with a free place to stay.  As a resident New Yorker and lifelong angler, I never gave much thought to the fly fishing possibilities in the...

After a self imposed two week hiatus from the West Branch of the Delaware, I longed to return.  The calendar said it was July.   I reasoned there wasn’t a better way to start July 4th Weekend than tangle with wily WBD browns.  I invited my brother along and he was a good sport to join me. ...

It’s been a few days since our heavy rain.  Creeks are steadily dropping.  As the water clears and recedes, it presents prime opportunities to fish ambush points with streamers.  The timing couldn’t have been better, as it coincided with the start of Summer Vacation.  I invited my 9 year...
