The Big Wild Radio Interview (July ’09)

Had a good (if short) interview this last Friday with The Big Wild Radio Program (get the station listing here). We talked a bit about the “why and what of fly fishing” and had a quick revisit of the River Runs days (Blu-Ray release due on July 28th). The show runs an hour on the weekends (the interview [...]

“Once in a Blue Moon” – Now Available

Last month I posted about the new NZ-centric video, Once in a Blue Moon (mouse hatch!). Well, it appears that it is now ready to go, and available for early (pre-Amazon) purchase from Stu’s Fly Shop on NZ’s South Island (scroll down to see the packages Stu has with the DVD). If you decide to [...]

“Once in a Blue Moon”

Once in a Blue Moon 60sec promo from Bumcast on Vimeo. Just this 60 second teaser makes me miss N.Z. is a bad way. It has been far too long since I wet a line in those waters and watched a big South Island brown consider my offering.  I am eager to see the places [...]

About That Slide-Ball Slider…

After the recent FishFace Radio interview, I got a couple of questions about the infamous Slide-Ball Slider and Tarpon Cay. Since YouTube has the vid (in fancy new player colors now), I thought I’d let the TC video speak for itself: Update: A sample of the fly in question, up close and obvious:

“The Way of a Trout”

As a kid, I had many fly-fishing opportunities afforded to me as a result of my father’s work in the industry. One of those opportunities was to travel with him across the country as he taught in the long-ago-disbanded Fenwick Fly Fishing Schools. Those schools were a strong part of my formative fly-fishing education, as [...]

The Tzar’s Trout

Just before the turn of the (21st) century, my father and I traveled to Russia’s Kola Peninsula to shoot a couple of TV shows for OLN (now Versus). Along with Executive Producer, Jim Hagar, and good friend/guide, Juha Vainio, we shot at the Varzina Lodge for two weeks, focusing on the big brown trout of [...]

“Itinerant Angler” Podcast

If you’re looking for a bit more entertainment in your Podcasts, you may want to check out some of what is going on over at the “Itinerant Angler.” I did a Podcast there last year, and unlike the “how-to” focused info of my “Ask About Fly Fishing” Podcasts, the IA show is more “interview style.” If [...]
