This trip was for the “Brother”

Adam, Ryan, Steve-O and myself made our way down to the home waters to search for our beloved trout and the Honey Badger. Thankfully, we found them residing in the normal places at least the trout that is. This trip was for our good friend Gene. We lost Gene about a week ago and without any […]

New Water

Every now then you need to stop and think about why adventure is so important to fly fishing. All of us at B.C.I can agree that the adventure is finding or discovering new water that held different species of fish, mainly trout. Don’t get me wrong it’s always an adventure when you travel somewhere for […]

Not so Savage of a Winter

So, this winter has been very forgiving to say the least. It only sucked if you’re really into skiing or ice fishing, however it has been very generous to fishing. Ryan was off, I was off, KG was in Amish country, Adam and Greg had to work. Sorry boys, but Ryan and I couldn’t pass […]

Story from the past

OK ladies and gents this blog will be written under the influence of Southern Comfort and Dr. Pepper…………….Sorry, I think. Since I posted two blogs within the last two weeks on fly tying. I am sorda at a lost of what to write about so I am asking you the readers to give me feedback […]

First

I struggled with the title to this one, completely wanted to call it, “Busted 2012’s Cherry!,” “Ice Breaker” or any other cliche’d title of a similar vane, but settled on the simple “First.” There are mulitple ways of counting when the year begins, there are calendar years, fiscal years, the orthodox year, and the chinese […]

My Back Pages

Sometimes ground zero isn’t always obvious. Sometimes it takes years to realize that one moment at one particular spot was the start of something big. For me it was Big Elk Creek I was 13 years old. Big Elk Creek isn’t the one you’re thinking of. It’s not an Erie Trib, not the piece of […]

Don’t Tell Me I Can’t Catch’em on Dries in November

The thing that is amazing about fishing, any form of it, is that as fishermen, we tend to prepare with one method or pattern in mind for a day’s fishing, only to find out that once on the water, we had really wasted our time in preparation that could have been better spent, well doing […]

Call offs, Expired tippet: Stihlhead.

On Tuesday two Bug Chuckers Inc. members traveled north to take a crack at those steelhead from Lake Erie. We decided the day before to fish Elk Creek due to other reports that affiliates of BCI gave us. This was the first trip of the year and before we give you the whole entire report […]

Beantown Stripers, Blues, Palestinians and a Net

I think the main reason I’ve never gotten all that heady about hunting is because of one fish, the Striped Bass. There are few things that signify fall to me than the southern migration of this magnificent fish. The brookies halloween colors are amazing, but nothing beats the pull of a 3olb striper in foggy, […]

Honeymoon

Alright I made it back from Mexico in one piece and trust me I am glad to be back in the foothills of the Appalachians. I was staying at one of those all inclusive resorts between Playa Del Carmen and Cancun. I definitely recommend staying at an all inclusive resort at least once because they […]
