This post is a day or so late, but I’m sure you’ll forgive me. Since we had a long weekend, and our wives went on an all-girls East Tennessee retreat, Drew and I decided we’d go somewhere too. First thought was camping/fishing trip. So we packed our crap into his car and headed up to […]

Final Post of 2011
The holidays have been busy. I probably didn’t need to tell you that, but alas, it is true. I’ve been fortunate to spend time with family & receive some fishing gear on top of that. This post is really just a way of saying, “Hello, I haven’t been fishing recently. I want to go fishing […]
Creek ‘Gills
I’m back home in Alabama for the next week and a half so I decided to sling some bugs in the creek behind my parent’s house on light tackle. Fortunately, the creek still gets plenty of sun. The water temp seems to be significantly warmer than waters in Tennessee. Naturally, I can’t help but snatch […]
Holiday Fly Tying
It’s been a week since Thanksgiving, but things haven’t slowed down. Thanksgiving is just the unofficial starting flag for Christmas, which keeps everyone busy. We’ve been traveling a lot over the past few days, and now that we’re back in Nashville it’s time to catch up on a lot. Over the break I’ve quite a […]
Midmorning Fly Tying
Yep. You read the title correctly. I’m on somewhat of a normal sleeping schedule (for now). I was able to get up this morning after sleeping a full 8 hours, and drink a few cups of coffee while tying flies. It felt refreshingly normal. Outside of tying flies that I haven’t used, there’s not much […]
Spontaneous trip to the Gulf
Friday morning around 7:00 a.m., right as Rachel was leaving work, both of us decided to go to Florida. She worked Thursday night, meaning we were running on 26 hours with no sleep by the time we arrived late Friday night. It was the best decision we’ve made in a while. Also, add the Jones […]
I’m Back (Again)
It has been several weeks since I’ve wet a line. Between traveling, football games, and traveling to go to football games, it was nice going back out to the river. Of course, I’m on my usual backwards schedule so the only time to get out on the water was after sundown. Drew decided rig a […]
Late Night Fly Tying
It’s time to pack things up and head back to Alabama. My fly box needed replenishing and someone requested a few flies. So, I figured last night would be just as good a night as any to tie up flies. The only thing my fly box has been lacking is the presence of more clousers. […]
Back in Action
I finally found myself back on the water. I’ve been splitting time on the Harpeth and Cumberland Rivers. The temperature was 57 degrees this morning, and the cooler waters seemed to bring in the bigger bass. Yeah, that’s the biggest bass I’ve hooked recently on the fly. I’ve found that the bass in the Cumberland […]
What’s New?
So what’s new? Not a whole lot over here. I’ve been laid up in my room for the past few days with a killer ear infection. My ear has been completely closed up over the past few days. It started getting really bad after my last trip to (you guessed it) the river. The doctor […]
