I just turned 42 and am fat and short of breath. I don't want to become one of you guys, that fish for stockies in the KLG and think that's fly fishing because you're too fat to hike a half mile to catch a wild fish. So I bought a yellow thong bikini that won't hide an ounce. i will start...

Last year, I planned a trip to the Miramichi that was an 100% success for everyone involved. We caught no fish, but the way I see it, that's given us a reason to try again this year. So even that was exactly what we hoped for. The trip begins at the end of June. I have arranged for a...

Just an awesome display of fishing with the left hand, as camera work with the right hand. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=vPr7_AHuHjY&feature=youtube_gdata_player&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DvPr7_AHuHjY%26feature%3 Dyoutube_gdata_player

This is the event I look forward to every year on the Delaware. My float trip with Joe D. By now we are close personal friends, and we exchange texts on an hourly basis. I send most of the texts. His replies are signature Joe D. Like "Stop texting me," and "I've had enough of you." See you...

The carp is the target species of "carp girls" around the globe. Most carp girls are from Eastern Europe. Some are from Poland. Others from the Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldavia. Former Soviet republics produce their fair share of carp girls. You may find one or two carp girls from...

Dennis Cabarle, it is your website. But it is time to bring back AK. I will work to make this happen, as Rusty is working on Rford and Corndog. If he threatens to kill you again, I suggest that you ban him for good. But NEFF is not a place for the weak. Can't he have a pass for the first...

Some homeless dudes are out here fishing the Hack. They said that the game warden is giving out tickets to people who keep fish smaller than 36 inches. I asked if you needed any sort of license and one of them started screaming at me... "You don't know nothin about fishin!" And I suppose he...

George Daniel's book is perhaps the best selling fly fishing book of all time. It establishes George Daniel as the best in the subsurface nymph game. All others are pretenders to the throne. Meet the new king, Jasper. George Daniel.

I am sorry that I hurt your feeling, Trout Fever, Trout Trouser, and Future Fanatic. And Tobias. Keep shooting dogs in the face. and Cabarle will make sure that I don't offend you.

I hope I have a fishing buddy right here...

Beetle's gonna do it this summer.

Ok, so at the fly show I do my fair share of casting bamboo. I cast rods from R.K. Bolt this year, and also Jim Downes. I liked both those guys a lot. Jim offers a course in building bamboo that I want to take this summer. So you know I did try the rod of the Italian rod maker. The guy who...

Got a really good feeling for Clay from your posts and my email exchanges with him. So I put down a deposit today. Haven't committed to any rod length or taper... Your comments would be appreciated. My father lives in Vancouver and I'm ready to move there ASAP.

A good guy, outlasted me at the bar...

Larry Donahe is building me a new rod for spring... A Paul Young Perfectionist taper... A few blanks in progress... One of them is mine!!!

I bought this book last weekend at the Marlborough show and it really is worth a look...

This is for my brothers in the brotherhood of fly tyers. How to tie a Lady Caroline Spey Salmon fly on Vimeo

A true American hero, on par with Lincoln himself. Perhaps the most important American in our history.

This guy ties great flies, and I hope to say hello and shake his hand at Somerset.
