I have my bear skin…

Bears. That’s something Rye didn’t touch on a whole lot, other than the ones in the Pine Lodge lobby that asked where Adam was. He makes impressions on people and animals wherever he goes, what can you say. Growing up in south Jersey my only experiences with bears involved the Philadelphia Zoo and the occasional […]

WEATHER OR NOT…

What is the best way to spend a weekend in September? Flyfishing in some prestine water…of course. Well only one single problem, when planning a camping trip, forecasted rain.

Afterall, one of my personal favorite tactics is tiny dries on 14-18″ intelligent fish. With the […]

Kevin and I took a quick trip this weekend up to Kevin’s family’s camp on the edge of the Allegheny National forest. We went up there to float the local big river and maybe do a little blue lining. Saturday was a brilliant day for a lazy float down a river. We had a large […]
