mistermurray:
I read a lot of books, articles and webpages about permit and bonefish before leaving for my first trip to the tropics.
One thing I heard from many different sources is that once you start to fish for permit it will consume you. I tried to use the same dumb reasoning that pot heads use about…

dawnpatrolflyfishing:
i try to spin at least a few bugs every day. but once in awhile i’ll go on a more intense bender. wake up and sit down with blurry eyes and terrible breath to tie at least a few before i have coffee. then it’s make a pot and get back to it. the materials pile up all over the desk and i’m…

bonefish addiction
for some reason, lately i’ve been thinking a lot about going fishing for bonefish. there is something really amazing about fishing for these guys. i think 90% of it has to do with the locations and the flats themselves, as i had just as much fun fishing for triggerfish, sharks, barracuda, on the flats, as i did for bonefish. but for some reason the bonefish are stuck in my mind.
i’ve...

how many fly rods to take?
this quick post on Florida Sportsman got me thinking of the trip i took to belize in july.
on the trip was myself, my uncle steve and friend of his dave. between the three of us we did a great job of using the divide and conquer method of gear management.
while most articles in any of the magazines tell you that you need 10 rods and 14 reels for trip x or 4 rods, 4 reels, and 4 extra spools...

new sage website
sage has launched a new website. looks really good. did notice a few issues from an SEO perspective, i.e. title tag for the homepage is “home” which is a bit of a lost opportunity, but i’m sure they are still tweaking things.

another fly fishing loss
appears that a man and a woman were killed while fly fishing the cheakamus river in canada this week. the mans body was found shortly after, while the search for the woman’s body was called off until the water levels drop.
the man is believed to have jumped in to try and save his female fishing companion after she slipped and fell in.
another reminder of the power of a river.

My favorite message board has a tradition of putting a song at the lead of a TR which I think is a nice touch but I have not quite figured out how to do that here (stupid tumblr). Oh well. Put on Beastie Boys Slow and Low if you like.
Went back to the scene of last weeks crimes. I have been…
