Compleat BCI

I promised a post about Izaak Walton for his 419th birthday. I needed a reference point from where to get the right influence to write such a post. I found it in a quick overnight trip to the Savage this past weekend. None of the other guys could make it, even though Adam had threatened […]

August Bug of the Month: Drinking Water Crease Bug

August – The Drinking Water Crease Bug This is a variation on the classic Crease Fly used by striper and blue fish anglers in the north east. What I’ve done is scaled it down and simplified it. Since large mouth and small mouth bass don’t have the teeth that blue fish do, I’ve forgone the epoxy […]

Food Porn Blog: Bounty of the Sea

Well, I hate to admit it, but the fishing action hasn’t exactly been hot and heavy for the Bug Chucker, Inc crew as of late. I got exactly two cast in before I was kicked off of the rocks buy a quasi private landowner wanting to close his gate at sunset on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. […]

Some Things to Check Out

First Off, if you haven’t heard about the fight against Pebble Mine in the Bristol Bay region in Alaska you’ve been under a rock. Get out from under your rock, get some sunshine and learn-up on some Pebble Mine. Today was the last day to voice your opinion to the EPA in opposition to the […]

Pulling Trout From Cypress Knees

I’d never been to Arkansas. So, when the opportunity came up at work to head down there and have some meetings and fish the fabled big trout tail waters of the Little Red or the White I jumped at the chance. I knew of the Little Red and the fact that it was the water […]

The BCI Sculpin

We had to share KG’s creation prior to picking the next Bug of the Month. Enjoy!

June Fly of the Month and Brookie Teaser

This month’s fly is the Flashback Pheasant Tail. It was the most productive fly of our trip and we filmed a little video on how to tie it while we were experiencing that now infamous Rain Day. Tie a bunch up, they just work!

The Rain Day

I still have one post/story from our Maryland Trip Friday June 1, 2012 was a day that will go down in Bug Chuckers Inc. history as one of the best drunk days we have had as a group since we officially started a year ago. As the title says “The Rain Day” was exactly what it was. […]
