The Best NFL Sack Celebration Ever

Willie Young DE for the Detroit Lions obviously spent a little time with a fly rod in his hands during the NFL lockout this summer.  He's got a pretty good casting stroke.

The cameras cut away a little early on his celebration, but if you watch the end of the video above the Punter's head you can see the celebration in it's entirety playing on the stadium jumbo tron.  Willie may become one of my favorite players!

Then I Notice I am Holding my Breath

As I watched this great little video the narrator utters the line, "Then I noticed I am holding my breath." What a great line that describes the intensity of the focus in that moment as you watch your perfectly placed fly drift slowly into the feeding zone of a big fish. It's just you, the river, the fly and the fish. All else is forgotten for that little instant in time. Perfection.

Food for Thought the Next Time Your Favorite River is Snowed In

Get yourself a snowmobile and go fishing.

Brown Trout on the Edge

I could watch stuff like this all day.

Bike ride anyone?

Something a bit different since the fishing is slow right now. 

The Brown Trout and the Mayfly

There is some very neat footage here.

Fly of My Dreams

Yes, it's true. I admit that I have woken up in the middle of the night suddenly struck by a great idea for a fly, which will certainly fool that big trout that I threw everything in the fly box at the day before. Now it wasn't quite as an elaborate concoction of materials as the fly in this fun song but I can relate to the humor in this little ditty.

Rivers are high or closed...

Expect more short video posts over the next few weeks of stuff I find while surfing the net. 

Here's one of some Sea Run Brown fishing off the coast of Denmark:

Once in a Blue Moon

Better pop yourself some popcorn and set aside 40 minutes of your day because this is a good one. Be sure to make this one full screen and enjoy.



Just another mouthwatering look at New Zealand. Have I ever mentioned I really would like to go there someday? One thing in the video did dampen my enthusiasm just a bit for the whole New Zealand thing though. BIG eels...{shudder}. However I still think I am up for the task.

Focal Fish

Here is a new favorite blog to keep an eye on.  It combines two of my favorite things.  Great photography, and fly fishing.  Just one post everyday, with no words.  Simply a picture which as they say, is worth a thousand words.  Good stuff from some talented photographers.  Take a look.

Slowly I am Gaining a Wardrobe

A couple months ago this picture won me a cool hat in a photo contest from the guys at www.flyfishingfrenzy.com.  Now I am moving on to shirts.  I just found out another picture I took won a T-shirt over at www.sightfisher.com.  Go over and have a look at this new fishing website.  If anyone knows of any contests where I can win some pants now let me know. 

Here is the picture:

The Frenzy

Here is a site to check out: flyfishingfrenzy.com

Some good fishing, and good entertainment. And they ran a fan photo contest on their facebook page a couple weeks ago that yielded myself a Frenzy hat. There were some good photos in the mix.

Good stuff, be sure to check them out.

Sleeping in the Dirt

Check out Sleeping in the Dirt. It's a great e-zine with an emphasis on the visual. Good pics and no ads. Issue one was good and issue two is now out, and even better. Good stuff and worth taking a look, for sure.

Making Twisted Leaders

This video got me going this last weekend and I made a handful of leaders using this method. Very quick and easy. Today I tested one out on the river and was very pleased with the results.

Video Share Time

Found this out there on the world wide this evening. A little spring fishing, some of it on the South Fork of the Snake with streamers. A river I enjoy floating a lot but have never done this time of year. Pretty good camera work anyway by this guy. Enjoy.

This Looks Fun

Check out more good video and photography at catchmagazine.net.

A Video Cure for the Winter Doldrums

Well it has been a little while since I have been out on the water so again I spend another winter checking out some of the very cool videos out there to wet my appetite. This video from Fishbite Media is great and features some fishing throughout the calendar year in the state of Oregon.

Fishing Bloopers

Well this video has been making the blog circuit recently so many may have already seen it but if you haven't I thought it was worth posting. This one got our whole family laughing.
