Well, it's been a long time. What started as a short break because I didn't have a ton of content turned into a very long hiatus. During this time, I lost my father. He had been battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia for 17 years. He had been in the VA hospital for several months and he …
Lats week, I ordered this outfit from my local fly shop, Mossy Creek Fly Fishing. Through no fault of the shop (I'm looking at you, UPS) the outfit was not delivered as expected on Friday. Because one of the Trow brothers (the co-owners of the business), Colby, was there, I managed to get an outfit …
This post will actually catch me up on my fishing adventures, which means I have to figure out content to keep this thing active. I don't have much time to fish other than on the weekends, and that isn't even as regular as I'd like. But I will try to keep things going with other …
One of the things that I think is highly important to being a conservation minded angler is to understand the fish species in the waters you are fishing. This includes your target species, but not just them. This is a book that just released last month. I may or may not have had it on …
On September 28, which happened to be National Hunting & Fishing Day as well as National Public Lands Day, Governor Northam held the second annual Governor's Fishing Challenge at Occoneechee State Park on Buggs Island Lake. So, my wife and I rented an AirBnB on the state line, just south of the park but still …
Working at a university has its benefits. One of the biggest is being able to take classes, which is something I avail myself of each semester. This semester, I have a class that runs from 4-5:15. My wife teaches until 6:45 on those same days, so I have an hour-and-a-half to kill between the end …
I want to start off by saying that I am a proponent of legalized and regulated marijuana in this country. There are many reasons for this, but this topic is definitely one that plays a role. John Nores has made an appearance on two podcasts I subscribe to: the MeatEater Podcast and the Joe Rogan …

So I had a lot of time to fish one day, which naturally meant I was going out on a kayak. As you can tell from the title, things did not go well. Notice the lack of any catches on that map. I fished, and I fished hard, for several hours. Unfortunately, there was no …
Getting a bit bored with just straight up bass fishing, I decided to hit up the North River in Bridgewater with my 5' UL in hand. I had roughly an hour to fish and I figured just some fun panfishing was a great way to spend it. I made my way down 42, stopping at …
So, today is my birthday. I don't have much to say for today, but I will share something I got for myself, recently. This wasn't a birthday gift to myself, or anything, but it is a new reel that I acquired. The Daiwa Tatula CT in 7.3:1. I've used it a bit since getting it, …
