Once upon a time, I was really into bird feeding. One of the banes of my existence during this time was the flocks of cowbirds, grackles and starlings that would invade my yard and wreak havoc on my feeders. Since you can shoot starlings in PA, I'm thinking about reviving the old bird feeding...

A guy is driving around the back woods ofTennessee and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog For Sale.' He rings the bell and the owner...

I have heard news (all secondhand, of course) that Sage is discontinuing their FLi and TCR series rods and these rods are currently being discounted heavily at retailers, which I was able to verify a few minutes ago when I bought myself a little something as an early Christmas present. :D The...

must have been a Hyde. Well, not exactly. But I did feel like Cleo yesterday while I was being rowed around the West Branch by our own DCabarle. A few weeks ago, Dennis was nice enough to offer to go in on a drift boat rental (hereafter known as "the ship") so he could show me around the West...

I just bought a new Ross Evolution 2, an upgrade from my Cimarron 1. So, I need to add more backing to put the line on the new reel. My old reel had 50 yards plus the line. The capacity chart (attached) shows WF5+125 yards. I assume the + yardage indicates the amount of 20 lb. backing? Do I...

Found this small nymph (about 3/4 cm) on the Martins Creek this morning. I paged through Troutnut trying to ID it, but I could be there forever. Plus Jason's pictures are so incredibly detailed, it's like comparing apples to oranges. All I could capture in this photo was the basic shape, but...

My first opportunity to really fish this year couldn't have come soon enough. My job has been requiring me to work really long hours lately and I've had very little time to play. The day started out with a small disappointment - I was going to take my friend's two young daughters to a kids'...

I will be vacationing for a week at a friend's farm in Steuben County in a few weeks and I'm having a hard time finding trout fishing references to that area. We'll be in the Addison/Cameron Mills area. I am specifically interested in the small feeder creeks to the Canisteo and the Canisteo...
