Another Way

Published by CtScribe under Fish,Fishing

While here, I have seen many interesting things in relationship to recycling fishing materials; everything from eyelets being re-taped to poles, to nets mended with shoe-laces and pieces of plastic bags. Apart from these things, while walking along the edge of the Mar, I recently saw a interesting substitution for a bobber. I stopped for [...]

Published by CtScribe under Fishing

Although I am currently in Argentina, and therefor do not get the opportunity to engage in the cold-water fall trout fishing this year, there is one thing that I thought I should throw out there for all of you who will be wading the waters of North America this coming fall. As we all know, [...]

The Good ‘ol Days

Published by CtScribe under Fishing

I recently received a comment about my last blog, asking if such a simplistic means of fishing is possible in the US. In response, yes, it is most definitely possible, and would be just as affective regardless of the location, however, there is a mindset amongst fishermen in the United States that such a style [...]

Although there is always a high number of jellyfish in along the coasts, there has, in resent years, been a strong increase in the number of these little [...]

A New Kind Of Fishing

Published by CtScribe under Fishing

Today I broadened my horizons, and my eyes were opened to an entirely unfamiliar style of ‘fishing.’ The target of this adventure was not a floppy fish at all, but rather the hard shelled Quohog, the one member of the seafood family that I most dread eating. However, more distasteful than its flavor, is the [...]

Wild Eyed Wooly

Due to is versatility and productivity, it has earned its place as one of the best streamers to use when trout fishing in streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds.

Don’t Forget Your Line

I recently received the invitation to go on a short fly fishing excursion in Cape Cod. I, and a handful of other fly fishermen will be literally spending every waking moment on the waters edge.

Never Too ‘Late’

For the typical, New England, clear water fly fishermen, trout season tends to stretch primarily from opening day, the third Saturday in April, to about late may, into early July, when the temperature begins to rise, and the water levels begin to drop. Although this sad state of affairs has mostly become accepted as typical [...]

New Mexico: Seeing Past Dark Water

Published by CtScribe under Fishing,Flies,Fly Fishing

I just recently returned from the lovely state of New Mexico where I had the opportunity to spend a few weeks on the Dine’, or more commonly, the Navajo, Reservation. While there, I was able to travel to a number of different streams and rivers, in search of a native that could give me the [...]
