Sea To Summit - Waterproof Map Case

I had the opportunity to test out the Sea To Summit Large Waterproof Map Case. Most of my fishing involves a kayak, so the opportunity to test the gear would present itself. I floated the Watauga River a couple of months ago and this would be my chance. I was going to [...]

Caney Fork River Float Trip - June 7, 2008

I have been a bit absent from Outdoorzy here lately. I think I have been busy, lazy, or call it what you will. I really do have legitimate reasons; I am busy planning a wedding with Andrea, I am a bit lazy at times, and if you call it what you will, well [...]

Link Day

It's Monday and hopefully you spent all weekend enjoying the outdoors. So to help you get caught up on your web surfing here are a few interesting links.
I attended a few events in the outdoor industry/web industry this past week and met some of the people behind these sites. They are all doing very interesting [...]

Trout Unlimited

In an earlier post about national fly fishing communities, I mentioned FFF, other organization is Trout Unlimited. Trout Unlimited’s mission is to conserve, protect and restore North America's coldwater fisheries and their watersheds. To date, TU has more than 150,000 members in about 400 chapters from Maine to Montana to Alaska.
In July 2009, [...]

What Do I Need In My First Aid Kit?

This is a question we should all be asking ourselves as we prepare for the upcoming warm weather and all the outdoor fun we're going to be having. Fist Aid Kits are perhaps the most important piece of gear you'll take with you into the wilderness.
So what do you need inside? This really all depends [...]

The guys from AEG, who brought you Trout Bum Diaries: Patagonia and Trout Bum Diaries II: Kiwi Camo, are back. For two months the guys travel to five rivers that potentially no other fisherman has floated down in search of a mysterious fish. Their travels in this fly fishing adventure movie take them [...]

MTFF - April 2008 - Emergent Sparkle Caddis Pupa

The MTFF Fly of the Month for April 2008 is the Emergent Sparkle Caddis Pupa. When caddis are ready to hatch they leave their pupal cocoon and get ready for the accent to the surface of the water. Most species exude gases from their newly formed adult body. This gas is trapped by [...]

North River Outing

The North River Outing with MTFF is one of my favorite outings of the year. Every March, the club heads up to Tellico Plains, TN to do a little dry fly fishing for rainbows, browns, and brookies in the small mountains streams of east Tennessee. This year would be no different. Before [...]

Mountain Dry Fly Fishing

The mountains of east Tennessee have hundreds of miles of trout streams and as tempting as that sounds, mountain fly fishing can be very technical fly fishing. The stream can range from couple feet or several yards wide, there are the trees and bushes to contend with, and sometimes the weather (wind and rain). [...]

Dry Fly Fishing - Fly Floatants

Dry fly fishing can be one of the most exciting types of fishing for a fly fisher. The reason for that is that 90% of the action, when a trout takes a fly, happens under the surface of the water. When I am fishing, I am usually fishing a tandem fly rig of [...]
