I have had numerous emails, facebook messages, and messages in general asking about the trailing hook method I designed and starting using 2 years ago now. The following is a step by step on how to rig up a spoon using this method (I have now also created a commonly asked question follow up on… Read More The Trailing Hook Method
Just as planned, I found myself doing the long drive again the next morning. I would arrive at Marc’s place once again by early afternoon – giving us time to fish the same river we had ended on the day before. Upon my arrival, we headed straight for the productive stretch. We fished through the… Read More The Journal – The Return Trip
Despite the creeks in our area fishing well, reports were coming from my buddy that his area was fishing quite well also. His area typically has a short window for success, and water heights were lining up perfectly. On top of the promising conditions, it’s also been a long time since we’ve been able to… Read More The Journal – Road Trippin’
This post is being inserted where it doesn’t belong, but it was a truly memorable experience that deserves its spot in the adventures of the season. This particular day was less than a week ago, and doesn’t fit in at all with the blog before, nor what will be coming shortly, but I hope you… Read More The Journal – An Interruption
After the super successful outing on the first creek, the other creeks in the area followed suit. The early part of the winter season was exceptionally rainy, in fact, more so than I had ever seen before. The island set a number of rainfall total records – both for single days and for the month/30… Read More The Journal – The Creek Curse
Perhaps I should have named this series the 2018/2019 season, but being that this day will likely be the only one I write about from December, I’ll leave it as the 2019 season blog. This particular day was quite memorable, so I figured it deserved its spot in the season’s adventures. Kitty, and our friend… Read More The Journal – Fall Runs

Most of the people that follow me these days know me as a spoon junky, but that wasn’t the case when I first started fishing some 12 odd years ago. It might be surprising to most people, but back in my beginnings, I reached for a fly rod every time I went out the door.… Read More Catalogue and Conquer – Exploring my Roots
While the other two rivers mentioned in my previous blog post were completely new to me (Catalogue and Conquer – A Double Discovery), as said in the intro to this series, another goal of mine was to figure out rivers that I had been to in the past and wanted to know more about. This… Read More Catalogue and Conquer – An Old Friend
Tight Water – Part I Soon after my trout fisheries dried up, I was all in on steelhead. As said in the leading blog post of this series, this year, would be different from last. Rather than focus on a shot gun approach to fishing as many rivers as I could (check out the Quest… Read More Catalogue and Conquer – A Double Discovery
This year, I’ve decided on a new fishing journal for the winter season: Catalogue and Conquer. Rather than doing a numbers based approach/goal this season, I decided that I would rather focus on exploring new, and previously “found” waters. The main goal this year would be to intimately learn new and existing fisheries, and to… Read More Catalogue and Conquer – Troutin’
