24 Hour Run

At some point in every fly fisherman’s life there comes a time where you have an opportunity to fish a beat but with not much time in hand. This was the case for two Bug Chucker Inc members and a tag along river hippie this past weekend. We ventured once again south of the Mason […]

New World Record Stripah?

Experienced Connecticut angler, Greg Myerson has reportedly and unofficially broken Al McReynold’s 29 year old 78.8lbs IGFA All Tackle Striped Bass World Record. Myerson’s fish weighed in at 81.88lbs. Rumors on the interwebs are swirling that Mr Myerson may not submit an official IGFA world record application for the fish. He does have 30 days […]

SNAKE AND BAKE

With all of the hot temps and so much “going on”, i decided it was time for a break. The flows of our favorite waters couldn’t be better and the bugs seemed to be cooperating according to some reports. Afterall, one of my personal favorite tactics is tiny dries on 14-18″ intelligent fish. With the […]

Crouching [for] Brookies; hidden Squatches

An alternative to Ryan’s sweating your pits out on some crick smallies, is sweating your pits out along a blue line for brook trouts just after a morning rain. I’ve caught this guy many times over the past 4 years, his name is Barry. I thought I could “beat the heat” by heading to a […]

SWEATY PITS AND BRONZEBACKS

When temps reach nearly 100, and the humidity makes you feel as if you were in a sauna, what is a bugchucker to do? First, you could sit around in the air conditioning and dream of those perfect bug-hatching, trout-bumming spring trips. But that would only be an option if there was a blizzacane-nado-nami, you know, […]

Poppa turns 112 and iCast

Today marks the 112th birthday of the patron saint of the modern fly fishing lifestyle, Ernest Hemingway. Not only was he an aficionado of bull fighting, 6-toed cats, self absorbed women, absinthe (and alcohol in general) and Queensbury rules, but he was a fishing enthusiast at his very core. I challenge that the beautiful brevity […]

Quick Weekend

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 […]

Hey! Another Fishing Blog is Born!

Greetings and salutations! This spot on the interwebs is devoted to fishing, mostly fly, but can’t hate on anyone that prefers to spend their free time chasing fish. However, this will be fly focused. We will be talking about trips, wisdom (or lack thereof) from our experiences on the water, editorializing on the industry, and […]
