Trout's Fly Shop "Name That River Contest" & The Winner is...


All That Fishing is Paying Off

Every week Trout's fly shop displays a contest, name that river. Each week depicts a shot from a random river across the country. Mainly rivers around the Rockies, but often times Rivers elsewhere is shown and if you're fast enough to respond (usually 30-40 people answer within an hour) you better be ready to answer promptly. I normally -like most, never get close but today was different. I happened to glance online and noticed no one had answered correctly? Having fished in the South for most of my young angling days, it was an easy one and answered to win!



Nothing like a new Scientific Anglers WF6 Bass line to make this a good Monday! Thanks Trout's and can't wait to try again soon.


The River was none other than the Davidson River from North Carolina. One of my favorite rivers in the South, next to the Chattooga River and Nantahala Rivers as being my best!

Japan's Tsunami Troubles!

Disaster Takes No Prisoners
*Pic above, man found floating 9 miles offshore on rooftop after earthquake occurred


Most have seen and heard about the Tradegy that has struck Japan. With all the new developments happening each and every day, it's so sad to see the damage being done as well as lives being lost. Please donate to the American Red Cross or the Japan Earthquake relief fund.

Japan is experiencing its greatest hardships since World War II as it tackles the aftermath of an earthquake, tsunami and a growing nuclear crisis, Prime Minister Naoto Kan says. He said the situation at the quake-hit Fukushima nuclear plant remained grave, a day after an explosion at a reactor. Meanwhile, police have warned that the death toll in tsunami-hit Miyagi prefecture alone could exceed 10,000. Millions of survivors remain without electricity and authorities are stepping up relief efforts as the scale of the tragedy becomes clearer.

Key West Wahoo's and Hammerheads Up Close!

It's Spanish Fly Time

Whether you're a shark fan or not this one will get your attention for sure! I am a huge shark fan, whether it's a small Bonnethead, Bull shark or Hammerhead I love to catch em on a fly but not to swim with however.

One of my favorite Saltwater guys Jose Wejebe joined Rush Maltz & Steve Rodger for a wild day out on the water chasing Wahoo's with a speargun and keeping Mega Hammers at arms length. See these great photos for yourself and don't forget to checkout his show sometime!

Trying to spear a Wahoo, one of the fastest fish in the ocean is one thing but trying to spear one, retrieve and gaurd against Hammerheads is a whole nother issue.
