JB@Fly Fish America

JB — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:01:31 +0000

As some of you may already know, I’m back to writing my regular Techniques column for “Fly Fish America” magazine. The first of the new columns will be appearing in the May 2010 “Trout” issue. The subject is “Down-and-Across with a Parachute.” Basically, it’s about using the combination of a down-and-across approach with Parachute and [...]

A Day on the Fork

JB — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 23:59:04 +0000

With the recent concerns about the Harriman Ranch section of the Henry’s Fork (arguably one of the most famous stretches of river in the world), I thought I’d post a story that I wrote some years ago about a particularly memorable day on the Fork. – – – – – – – – – The [...]

The Jelly Water Puzzle

JB — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 22:43:58 +0000

Since I’m going to soon be heading back to my old column in “Fly Fish America,” I thought that I’d post what is perhaps my favorite column from the “old days.” I suspect that parts of this story will show up again in another guise in a future column (and I can pretty much guarantee [...]

Back to Fly Fish America

JB — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 22:43:21 +0000

After a hiatus of a couple of years, I’m returning to writing my techniques-based column in ”Fly Fish America“ magazine. The refreshed column is scheduled to appear in FFA’s annual “Trout Issue,” with a May/June 2010 dating. The column, barring space or other issues, should appear in every issue thereafter. With a distribution model that is based heavily [...]

Catch Mag #7

JB — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 19:01:52 +0000

Finally got around to paging through “Catch Magazine” #7. Excellent as expected, with some very up-close-and-personal (and spectacular) tarpon photog work by Daniel Göz. “Catch” #7 also includes “The Light Series Part 4: Late Light,” which is inspiring to say the least (so many of my memories of great angling places are steeped in the [...]

SLP Mo-Cap via “Fly Fisher” (Japan)

JB — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:38:40 +0000

My friend, and fellow casting geek, Tomonori “Bill” Higashi, e-mailed me a few months back asking if I had a good mo-cap sequence showing SLP (that would the “Straight Line Path” of the rod tip during a cast, which is actually only straight for part of the cast, and then only for casts where it [...]

Triple Shoot Video

JB — Sun, 10 May 2009 03:27:09 +0000

A little bandwidth consumption from the “From the Archives” department. Actually this is more like, “It’s Saturday night, I need to make a quick post, and look what I just found in a long-lost folder.” Origins aside, this is a much more visual follow-up to the Triple Shooting post that I put up here in [...]

Catch Magazine #5

JB — Fri, 01 May 2009 16:38:24 +0000

Catch Magazine #5 is here and lookin’ good (as always). If you already subscribe to/read Catch, then you know all about it. If you don’t, you should! Go have a look. (And catch the Catch Blog here.)

TiF (#16) is Here…

JB — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 18:13:54 +0000

Urban. Hip. Stylin’ on the fly. Not your speed? Then don’t click here.

Check Out “Scanout”

JB — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 16:07:58 +0000

Scanout is a new “new media” mag with an eye towards the fly (although not fly-fishing exclusive). It’s short, but sweet, with a modern layout (love that close-up shot on “page 3″ of issue #3.09). Check it out…

This is Fly (#15)

JB — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:54:25 +0000

It’s been a busy week for the “new media” world of fly fishing. First comes Catch (#4), and now This is Fly (#15). With a distinctly Russian flair to its usual urban stylings, TiF 15 also comes complete with the requisite fatty ‘bows, tales of antler climbing, and a dose of non-traditional A/V entertainment. If you [...]

Catch (#4) is Here…

JB — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:07:14 +0000

Go get it. (My fave shot? The opener to the Pat Clayton piece).
