I have been keeping a fishing log since 1981 so I do have some help at recalling various highlights …

New Hampshire Fish and Game has a new fish to pencil into the record books, and man, is this thing a fatty.

But lures are expensive and I’m not made of money. I’m always hunting for ways to save money that get me fishing. I think every angler is. Today, we’re focusing on …
For the last month and a half, I’ve turned into a little bit of a trout bum, not a fly guy in fancy clothes trout bum, instead more of a Midwestern trout enthusiast who carries a spinning rod and shops at Walmart. Don’t get me wrong, I love quality outdoor gear and admire the skill and patience that fly anglers …
