Went again this a.m. to the roadside swamp that is convenient to my workplace. We got there at least an hour or more too late for their breakfast but managed to to catch a few before the scorching sun drove them into the moss/duckweed.....

Knowing, or at least assuming this came from J.K. made me think of fort rucker and the massive rattlesnakes they are said to have down there. Then I looked up the base only to find out that they had renamed it. I certainly have nothing against mister novosel, the new namesake, but then again I didn'...

Prudent decision, Ray. I have heard cottonmouths have an attitude problem. I did go back and snakey is an understatement but I survived to dapple a fly and snag a dace, two greenie weenies and an eating size green. He/she/it needn't worry..... too much trouble to fool with. I do have them in a buck...

OMG ... Tenkara. Now I have more stuff to research and spend money on. My wife is not going to be happy with you. I started out with a $40 fly combo from academy or wallyworld and only fished off the rod due to intervening brush so I bought a canepole and used the same flies on the cheap monofilame...

Tenkara is a fun way to fish, Ray. Can't get much simpler. Fly fishing's answer to a willow pole, line, hook and cork. I don't think I even have what is considered a proper tenkara pole. I have telescoping crappie poles from 12' to 20' (the 20' is quite unwieldy). I don't fly cast with them due to ...

I stopped by a roadside ditch that had ample water in it for long enough to grow reeds and cattails on its perimeter. I dappled a tiny #14 nymph and promptly hooked this equally tiny green sunfish. It is about the size of a potato chip and will be released with nothing worse than a sore lip as soon ...

Grizz.....I wholeheartedly urge you to continue on with the bass. If you can keep time with the drum kick and add a bit a of melodic zippitydoodah in-between then you will do well.

Reminds of the time I made-up an "alto" guitar for the purpose of learning the notes of a bass. I took a cheap four-string "tenor" and strung it with the low end guitar strings, e-a-d-g. This gave me the same notes on the fretboard of a bass but higher octave. I succeed in learni...

No, INSP is #259 on dish & #364 on directtv. and on thousands of cable markets. INSP is being very generous by playing just previously aired episodes on y.t. without a subscription.
