Over the years, Kelley and I have done more than a few road trips together, and it seems that I get at least one pic of the back of the “Silver Hornet” in some state of disarray on every trip. I think that the disarray has become worse over the years, and at one point [...]
Last week’s DF52 “mystery fish” has been revealed: a permit (pompano was also accepted as an answer in the contest). You can see Jeff’s permit above, with a full post and bigger image on his blog. Congratulations to Donna L for her winning entry (randomly drawn from all correct entries). Thanks to all who entered the [...]
Just a few ramblings that I wrote some years ago on the subject of catch-and-release. Since the majority of my fishing is C&R, I figured that I might as well toss this up on the blog. Here you go: – – – – – – – – – - A number of factors can come [...]
That’s Kelley—looking like she just stepped out of a Ralph Lauren ad—hanging out on the front porch of a friend’s home along the banks of Montana’s Madison River. This is one of my all-time favorite shots of my wife. Not long after this was taken she was into a monster brown that ran her into [...]
Just got tipped on this: The mechanism that Didymo (a.k.a. “rock snot”) uses to grow so prolifically has apparently been figured out via research conducted on Rapid Creek in South Dakota (a water I first fished when I was about old enough to stand). Hopefully this will lead to some measures that can at least [...]
Went fishing with my friend, Derek Althauser, yesterday afternoon. Check out that gear. Think it might be panfish overkill? I mean look at the size of that fish! I’m sporting the latest in graphite tech (brand new for 2011, by the way) and a disc drag that can stop a bonefish in its finny little [...]
Drawing Fish 52 “mystery fish.” What is it? Think you know? If you do, then you need to enter the contest! What contest, you ask? This one. Good luck. More next Tuesday….
GB with a “golden bone.” Decided to use this scandalous pic hero-shot of GB after I, um, “couldn’t find” any shots of myself with such a magnificent critter. Looks like my friends over at “Field & Stream” magazine’s FlyTalk blog recently had some sweet carp-fishing action on Lake Michigan’s Beaver Island. When I was still [...]
This is an old article of mine, spruced up a bit for an upcoming book in the 20-title “Fly Fishing” series (it is likely to show up in The Angler as Predator). Figure that I might as well give a (very) advanced preview of that book here on the blog. Hope you like the read, and [...]
The FF&W blog is meant to provide a flow of fly-fishing articles, art, and media, as well as a splash of news and other links. I hope that you enjoy the read.
My best,
Jason Borger
