Half way from some where, and all the way to nowhere, Tony is lost. The shorelines materialize and just as fast disappear in the fog. Tony is the guy in the bow of my boat and has no idea were lost, but I’m going to have him aid me in my worrying pretty quick...

I gotta tell you about my daughter. I have three heroes in life and she’s one of mine. Were fishing for trout up on Hogback Lake. I'm hip dip in my chest waders fly fishing and my twelve year old angel is worm dunking. She yells for me so I waddle to shore and walk up the fishing platform. In her grasp is a twelve inch rainbow...

Sometime this summer I’m going to get myself a kid and teach worm picking. I want to give something back. Pass on some learning I acquired. Make sure this noble tradition is not forever lost. Just to keep things on the up and up...

How does the late ice-out on Minnesota's lakes impact boating safety during this year's fishing opener?

Last Monday was the opener for me. May 5. Quite a few days ahead of the rest of the madding crowd. Just like the guys with the rods and reels, I have my secret spots, my favorite places, and I don’t like to share...

Collecting dust on a shelf in the garage was where it eventually landed, a big old bucktail lure I bought years ago in anticipation of the only muskie fishing trip I ever went on. I had forgotten about the bucktail, until the day my rambunctious Labrador discovered it...

Enter the bait shop owner. One of my personal favorites. They are my kind of candy store. To me these places are better smelling than some restaurants. I can shop in these bastions of bait. I don’t garage sale or go antiquing. But if I drive down your main street and spot, so and so’s bait bucket, I’m stopping...

I just got done at a local public access for fishing. I got done filling two hefty bags with trash. Disposable diapers full of lords knows what,, beer cans, beer bottles, smokeless tobacco tins, bobbers, fishing line, egg cartons too include two unbroken eggs, bug dope cans, cans, fruit juice bottles, car parts , card board boxes, bottle caps,  foil, plastic bags, candy wrappers, one wool sock with red trim, and one bag of contents I’m not going to describe...

Sitting there it's hard to believe that last year this time I was either securing a convoy of supplies to Baghdad or conducting a presence patrol out side of An Nasaryia. The dessert doesn't sound like it would be a place that would tease a fisherman with reminders of what they are missing, but you would be surprised...

We are very pleased to be a part of the release of the new audio CD by Trout Whisperer. I have read his many articles, but did not realize the intensity, mystique, and quality of his storytelling until I heard him speak...

I built it in one week. Setting up a rearing pen for pheasants took five years. Over those five summers I improved it. The chicken wire walls are steel post reinforced. Wire has been buried below grade 12 inches to keep predators out. I have over head...
