Let’s face it. March and April were pretty good. Given that we never really had a winter, things kicked off early in March, and held strong through April. The crappie, bass, gills, and even the trout were finding their way into my flies. I’m afraid that since May, and 90 degree highs, are starting to […]

I like to catch fish
Back To Reality
Back to reality. Back to normal life in Tennessee. Back to freshwater fishing. We’ll actually be on the road going back and forth from Tennessee to Alabama, but that’s been normal life for us since March began, anyway. Here are some pictures from the last two days of fishing since we’ve been back from the […]
Surf Casting
If you follow me on twitter (if you’re one of the 15 people that reads this blog then I’m going to be offended if you aren’t!) then you know Rachel and I have been in Florida for the last week. In fact, by the time this posts we’ll be back to normal life in Nashville. […]
El Guapo Strikes Again
I had the pleasure last week of going fishing with a new friend of mine, Chase. Like me, he’s an Alabamian transplanted in Tennessee. We had decided to go fishing together, and agreed on going out to Percy Priest to see what we could coax into biting. The weather ended up being much better than […]
Monday Afternoon Musings
We’re packing up and heading to Florida. Fortunately we’re flying this time (8 hour car ride vs. 1.5 hour flight? Yeah, we’ll fly.) which means my TAS therapy (terminal angler sickness) will begin early in the morning, if we don’t decide we can’t stand it and decide to go fishing once we land. It’s […]
For my Trout friends
I went to the Caney Fork River Saturday for the first time. I’ve been saying I wanted to find some of these “trout streams” in and around Nashville, and so I finally went. Caught plenty of fish, although nothing bigger than 12″. You could tell these were stocked fish. They all seemed like they were […]
Late Night Fly Tying
I’ve been fishing San Juan Worms (SWJs) quite a bit recently. I know purists hate them. They don’t think they’re real flies. Whatever. I’m just trying to catch fish. Over the past two days I’ve caught countless sunfish, bass, and a catfish on this SWJ pattern. I’ve even hooked a few trout. That shows you […]
Late Night Fly Tying
All the crappie have been beating up my Donny Osmonds. Tonight I figured I’d reload. The bite has been excellent for the last three weeks. I have a feeling the storm system that just ran through central Tennessee will put a hold on things for a bit. It’s probably for the best. I really need […]
They like it
Yeah, I caught a lot of dinks tonight, but whatever.
Who turned on the fish?
I don’t really have much else to say. We ventured out to Percy Priest lake tonight, and somebody turned the fish on. The crappie beat up my woolly buggers so bad that I ran out. Plenty of other fish were caught too. I caught more bluegill than I could count, and surprisingly a good number of […]
