My Writing

I've published my work in The Drake & The Flyfish Journal but I spent most of my time writing below. This is a list, in no particular order, of my favorite posts on this blog. I'll update it from time to time.

On the eradication of wayward Macks - I like this piece because it came out, whole cloth, in about thirty minutes. Sometimes you're inspired to something, this was such a thing. And it won me a trip to Yellowstone with Trout Unlimited and the National Park Service.

Pot meet Kettle -  My utter hypocrisy at fishing for large trout in privately stocked waters. But it was fun.

Black Friday - Traditions are a fine thing even when they don't go quite right.

Phriday Philosophy -  Pegging beads. Fishing over spawning fish. Why do we do what we do?

Peace, Snow, Skunk - Fishing with Jonny for Steelhead in classic Steelhead weather.

Heard around the campfire - John Gierach's Coffee. My wit and literary skills continue to amaze me. Imagine that. 

Stalking Small Mountain Streams - A small stream that I wished to fish for years and finally did.

Turkey Sandwiches and Fruitcake  - There's something about the rituals of fishing with good friends that makes the beautiful places we go so much better.

Farm Pond - Just knowing simple places like this exist is almost enough. But not quite. Fishing them completes the picture.

On the water, Deerfield River, 9.12 - Fishing with my family. Nothing better.

Madison, Gallatin, & Cutty Creek - Ditto

Fishing the High Country - Ditto, and in the land of Adams, Muir, Bierdstadt.

The Small Town River - Channeling Hemingway for no other reason that to see if it were possible. And to tell a story of a nice hour or so of fishing.

On Outdoor Writing - Nothing gets writers fired up like when you talk about writing.
