The Deuce

2015-01-31T09:36:00.001-08:00

I love to explore new areas in the hopes of finding some sweet new semi-secret spots. If you can pop more than one steelie out of one of these spots, you've surely located a winner.

West Coast Wild

2014-11-10T01:05:00.000-08:00

West Coast Wild, a fly fishing adventure series I've recently been a part of filming, would love your voting help to get their web series funded to the tune of as much as $60000. This series will follow the life struggles, epic adventures, and evolving relationships among a group of fly fishermen as they trek in to the wilds of BC. If successful, West Coast Wild will be one of 15 BC creator groups to receive a $10000 grant to film a pilot episode. If we’re named the top project among these 15 groups, we’d be given a further $50000 to film the complete series. Here’s a link to our pitch.

I'm a big fan of Hooke vids. Lots of great cinematography and fishing. Agreed?

The Great Gear Story

2013-11-30T10:18:00.001-08:00

For a fly fisher, awesome gear that keeps you comfortable can keep you on the water to enjoy that incredible fishing day. For me living on the wet coast, I target the conditions that keep other people at home. Anadromous species, be they steelhead or trout, move into rivers, become more active, etc when the tap is turned on. Patagonia has put together a video about people that have used great gear for years, or even decades.

I have some Paddy gear myself that may be in to its second decade. I can't think of stitching ever coming apart. The fabric may wear out around the zippers, but the zipper still functions. Their clothing is awesome. The Worn Wear story is also pretty cool to check out.

The Fish Bowl

2013-11-25T07:13:00.000-08:00

This is a FFF original. It was some of the very first video footage I ever shot with the idea of "putting it out there". The camera was standard definition but the scene was solid gold in my opinion. Two fishing buddies working as one. One working the rod, the other being the set of eyes.

Two feet further up. That was right over him. He bit it, he bit it, he bit it....

Double Spey Tips

2013-11-24T13:29:00.000-08:00

Tips are short, sweet and to the point here. I've been focussing on inclining to the highest point and stopping high on the forward stroke. I think I'll give this less inclined sweep a go and then circle up to see if it makes a positive difference in my cast.

Maybe there's something useful in this for you as well. Whaddya think?
