Bass and boats and beats and other good stuff


It hasn't been intentional neglect of this website over the past few months. It's just there's so much to do & to see here.

It doesn't seem proper to hide away with a laptop, indoors, for the 2-4 hours it takes to research/write/edit a post. Especially since enjoying the climate of Vancouver Island was the main reason for us claiming Winter Refugee Status here.

That being said, it's been six weeks of living in our new apartment. It's time to develop an iota of self-discipline and a sensible personal schedule to ensure content is posted here in something resembling a semi-regular manner.

At least I haven't been idle: I've been planning, scheming, and taking notes for all sorts of topics and actually fishing a few times. 

Here's a preview of what's to come:
  • Addicted to SMB - see photo at right.
  • Must-have add-ons for the Diablo Paddlesports Chupacabra
  • Paddling my new Jackson Kayak Cuda 14
  • Trying (& failing) to develop a great smallmouth fly - Working title: save time/money, tie a Clouser Minnow
  • (Slowly) becoming a fishing pier rat - more relaxing than you think
  • Product reviews for some cool new stuff from Columbia Sportswear - emphasis on 'cool.'
  • Evernote + Fly Fishing - it's a thing. Seriously.
  • Music - expect a return of music at the bottom of most articles and posts.
  • Essays - some of which will be posted after they've been rejected from magazines.
  • Book reviews - and possibly not all fish-related. Oh, the horror, right?
  • More music - get your speakers/headphones ready.
  • Recipes - why the f**k not, right? A man's gotta eat...
  • Fun and adventure - photos may be included.
In addition, be sure to check out my racket over at The Saltwater Fly Journal; there's a bit of a new look along with a new 'About' page, updated Links and the all-new SWFJ Bookstore.

And, as always, thanks for reading. Y'all are alright in my books.

Ross Neilsen & company are getting ready to release their new album, Resurrection, later this month. Leading up to the launch date, Ross has been releasing one track from the new album each week.

This track is called Need You More, and I think it's pretty damn good. Check 'er out.
