Feelin' Foggy
- I’m still a little foggy after this weekends events. Two epic farewell nights with the college crew sandwiched around a lovely graduation ceremony, and a weekend full of great gifts and caring family members. I’m a pretty lucky fellow, there is simply no denying that. While I spend a little extra time preparing a [...]
Chasing Success
- Fly Fishing is a funny thing. An intense struggle between man and nature, a precise game of treachery, and the looming frustration that settles in when the fish just aren’t pickin’ up what your layin’ down. (Notice catchy northern Maine lingo) The sentence above describes what I’ll look back on as the most trying [...]
River Runnin' (Just Say No)
Howdy Folks! Just a quick video I shot on Easter weekend while cruising up the Fish River with some buddies. As high as the water was last weekend, this week has seen flows well above seasonal norms. I can’t even begin to explain the logistics of River Flows, but I do know that if the [...]
Ice is Nice
- Easter weekend is in the books, and with it my first weekend of fly fishing. While my trip home did not go exactly as planned (like it ever does!) I can pull some positive points from the mountains of failure that men of lesser stature might focus on. Almost on cue, the Fish and [...]
Don't Ask
A preview of things to come. Story tomorrow, and don’t even ask if we caught fish. Just don’t. My weekend in a few sentences? Switch rods are confusing. The Silver Ghost and Shearwater Reel are both amazing. Muskie fishing in chocolate milk is difficult. Steak and 75 degree weather in April makes me happy. Snowmobiling [...]
Let it Snow (later)
- Let it be known that I am in no way, shape, or form advocating for ANY MORE snow than what northern Maine currently has. Truth be told I am growing quite tired of cleaning up after mother nature. With that in mind, it is hard to discount the photographic potential of a fresh blanket [...]
Hellllooo Fish River
- Still doing some last minute Christmas shopping you lazy sally procrastinator? Well, if the recipient of your last minute purchase swings streamers on the Fish River (or any river for that matter) during the spring run, listen up. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, you have probably heard the [...]
Priorities
Busy Busy Busy Busy Busy A little something called College will take up most of my time for the next day or so, as unfortunate as that may be. So for now I leave you with a few pictures my mother dearest took of me wading in the river in front of my house. Over [...]
Home Sweet Home
- Almost one month ago I left my home in Fort Kent Maine to begin a summer job at Bushmaster Firearms in Windham. While I’ve settled in quite nicely in southern Maine, the old saying still holds true; “Home is where the heart is.” This past weekend I finally had the chance to return home. [...]
Crash Landing
- Over ten hours of driving crammed around roughly seven hours of fly fishing is a pretty good way to describe my weekend. As expected, I’m not a fan of the lengthy drive between southern Maine and my small town of Fort Kent. Due to my extreme exhaustion, I have decided that instead of posting [...]
