For me life is not a question. Life is an answer, and you just need to be opened minded with the questions that come your way...

At 9:45 pm the timber wolves cut loose. We put some more wood on the fire and toasted our feet and the health of the timbies. They rose to full chorus as if trying to throw their lungs out of body. That howling was...

People since time began have struggled with fishing. So I’m following in a long line of anglers and fisherman who get totally caught up in the fish that’s in fishing. I hope I never catch that fish, the one that answers it all. The one that leaves me completely satisfied. That’s a fish I don’t want...

I can drive to the Superior National Forest from several different routes. My favorite is going past one massive piece of rock. It was formed by heat and pressure. The size is akin to your home for said rock. My eyes, even while driving, cannot resist to scan crevasses and small cedars clinging in a crag that cannot possibly hold soil but still supports a tree. So much for a dead lifeless rock...

When I was attempting to graduate from high school I developed what a combat medic later in life described was an I problem. He said I had the worst case he’d ever seen. The first real bad flare up, I can recall, was on a trout stream in the spring of my sophomore year...

The conversations I have at the deer shack have to my annual favorites. These pull up a chair chats are different than the stream side banter, for example...

All this for a fish. Can you imagine all the stories that got told about one clod hopper fisherman who broke his finger when he fell trying to land a fish. Picture the words in the bubble floating like a cartoon...

You ever have one of those wants. Mine was thirty seven years worth. I prevailed. I found the place. This lake is as much in me, as on the earth. I have thought about this lake for so long. I wanted a brook trout lake that...

Roger had the gift of telling an oral story. Roger was soft spoken and no hand waver. Rogers stories were time consuming and nostalgic. With spoken word he filled my head with the funniest pictures or the warmest memories...

The trap is definitely fired. I had a three thirty suspended on a dive stick that even a blind beaver could not miss, and he didn’t. Floating with the flat tail extended is a nice red phased spring beaver of about twenty five pounds. This is the third beav in two days out of this pond...

Did you ever wonder, the last time you fished trout with a pro guide, what guides go through to find those magical, remote hot spots?

Back at the table some more locals come in and we start lying to them about where were going to ice fish. They fabricate a story as thick as the bacon on their plates and it’s off to the races. We tip the waitress and...

It’s been all afternoon and not one other bite. I have heard the kids being called to dinner and one bout of crying from the other camp site. Daylight’s curtain is being drawn and the hint of pink from the rainbow trout is vaguely familiar in the western horizon...

I was built lower to the ground, Grandpa told me that many times, so I could pick stuff up, easier for both of us. The sound of his rubber knee high boots thunkin' and thudding as he strode around the yard is a drum beat to my ears forever...

This is the 17th set-up and I have seen zip. This is going to be my last for the day. I have snow shoed so far my legs are stiff. Lying in the cold is getting to me.   Brown ribbons where the tractors do not plow surround the fields like a fence, god made it out of cattails. I have a perch with a very wide country view...
