In 2008, I made my first fly fishing trip to the Great Lakes tributaries to target steelhead. I began with 7 hour trips to Erie and later branched out to the equally far Western Ontario tributaries near Oak Orchard. When I finally fished the larger water of the Salmon River, I knew that it offered a lot and […]
The “One”
Magic City Freshwater
Since I haven’t been on the water much, due to high winds and work. I have been hitting the fresh water for some peacocks. These trips are never planned, the usually happen after I finish work in the afternoon. If I have enough daylight, I will hit up local lakes and canals with friends for a good time. I always […]
Recent Trips
Since it’s been pretty windy these last couple of the days and it seems like we are going to have a horrible winter. Hopefully these winds calm down again so I can take out the paddle boards. Lately most of my fishing has been bank hopping for peacocks afterwork and some night tarpon fishing on foot. I decided to go […]
The End
Milwaukee’s Best
This past Friday a buddy and I decided to head North in search of some Wisconsin steelhead. We talked to a few other guys that had some luck in Milwaukee and after two phone calls we were officially playing hooky and ready to fish. I headed over to his place Thursday night, to shorten the drive in the morning, and […]
Cheetos and Reese’s Pieces….

How I Wasted My Summer
So I started this about four months ago, while waiting on an airplane and it seems like I didn’t have more than two minutes to sit and think until now, waiting on another airplane. The time that lapsed between these two flights included many other small flights, boat rides, despair, safety meetings, hikes, pistol toting, net jobs, filleting, constructing, high […]
Over Due
September and October for me was relatively casual. I didn’t have much much work going on, I got to do plenty of traveling, and I got to spend some time with some great people both on and off the water. I eagerly await the rest of the fall down here. The fishing should be great, and I may even get […]
Long Paddle
The Gheenoe Life
It seems like now a days my bank account is always in the red. But I was lucky enough to save a little cash and invest it in the Highsider Gheenoe this year. When i look on the instagram feed for #skinnywaterculture i always see pictures of people using a gheenoe to absolutely crush fish. I wanted to bring a […]
