Sleeping in the Dirt Mag: Issue #2
-Who loves you?! Because Mr. Otto is so generous, he decided to release Issue 2 of his intensely popular Online Magazine to the public TWO FULL DAYS in advance. I waited up until close to 1am to get a glimpse at this work of art, and trust me, it was more than worth the loss [...]
Sleeping In The Dirt
- Nothing makes me smile more than a completely intentional and well deserved b*tch slap to the face of corporate fly fishing. Leaving out the sponsors, high priced ads, and focus on fancy gear, expensive trips, and “professional” fly fishermen, Sleeping in the Dirt is simple: by the people, for the people. Regular Joes from [...]
Mornin' Coffee: Letters
- Good morning and happy Friday ladies and gents. – While all the big shots in Fly Fishing gather in Colorado at Fly Fishing Retailer, my lonely corner of Maine has been much less eventful.

For some it’s the photography, while others rely [...]
The Roughfisher Counts Down…
- The Roughfisher has me excited, and with every hour that passes I get more anxious for our day of fishing for Stripers off the coast of Maine. A full day of fishing capped off by the Fly Fishing Film Tour Party hosted by Flies and Fins should be the experience of a lifetime, and [...]
Mornin' Coffee: RIP LPS
Good Morning ladies and gents! A new Link has been added to Up’North’s Fly Fishin’ Friends, and its one worth a BIGGGGGGG look. Yesterday I was fortunate enough to stumble across a great Blog that had somehow avoided my eyes these past few months. RIP LPS is a personal blog written by probably the most [...]
A Guest Appearance: Muskoka Outdoors
- Recently Up’North made a guest appearance on a feature post at MuskokaOutdoors.ca. 5 Spring Trout Fly Treats, Features fly patterns from 5 different Fly Fishermen of very different regions. Yours Truly is representing for Maine, and I think the patterns I suggested not only work well for me, but have been fished successfully over [...]
Moldy Chum: Up'North's First Slab of the Month Contender
- When I first saw this picture of Brad Plourde’s giant Saint John River Muskie, I knew it had some definite Slab of the Month potential. I submitted it to Moldy Chum in hopes that for the first time ever, a Northern Maine fisherman might win the elusive Slab of the month title! Seeing as [...]
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
-Great Success! Recently Up’North comrade and Brownlining Jedi Jean-Paul Lipton of Roughfisher.com held a contest to see who could distinguish commercial blend dubbing from a batch of his own custom creation. A trained eye, and a large helping of luck led to yours truly being the randomly selected winner from a pool of participants who [...]
