Photo Essay Entry – One on the fly is worth ten on the spin – by Shane Clevenger

An old college buddy and I got up early one Saturday morning and headed to Mcclellanville to fish the flood tide. While waiting on the tide to rise high enough to get the skiff up in the flats we fished the edge of the grass for a while but just weren’t having any luck. We [...]

Nearshore reef and inshore sheepshead fishing on Thursday 2/3/12 – by Capt. Robert Olsen

Started out in search of some sheepshead with  a couple of avid anglers. Arrived at one of our nearshore reefs off of Folly Beach mid morning.  We caught countless endangered black seabass (season is closed until June 1st).  We released at least 100 12-14 inch fish and countless small ones with only one target sheepshead to [...]

Photo Essay Entry – My Favorite Day of Fishing – by Zan White

My favorite day of fishing took place this past Christmas, when an incredible afternoon redfish trip was combined with another trip the following morning to create a memory that is truly special. The first trip began like many other afternoons of winter redfishing do. It was Christmas break, so  school was out for a good [...]

Watauga County, NC. October 2010 I am not out of the door and on the road as early as I like for this trip, but that’s ok.  Besides, I get up to early during the week anyway, no need to rush things on a day off.  I stop in Boone for a quick breakfast and [...]

Photo Essay Entry – Trouthunter – by David Gaier

This summer we took the kids out west on a road trip through Teton, Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks.  When we travel, we frequently avoid the more touristy towns and chain hotels and opt for lodging that gets us a little closer to mother nature.  And so we avoided West Yellowstone, MT and instead stayed [...]

Photo Essay Entry – Armed With Patience in My Back Pocket – by Lena Halvarsson

         Wouldn’t you say, that when life throws us the unexpected, that’s when we need to get lost in the feeling of a spectacular fishing memory? Wouldn’t you say, that a great fishing story is better than any movie, any book, any internet game – especially when you have someone special telling [...]

Photo Essay Entry – Dad’s First Redfish on the Fly – by Ryan Griffin

2011 was the most fun and productive year I’ve had with a fly rod in salt water, full of great memories and many “firsts”…. I started the year by buying my first boat, a little 15 footer with a 20hp tiller motor, to take me to the flats on the flood tides.  A few weeks after [...]

Photo Essay Entry – IT STARTS WITH A CANE POLE – by Robert Peterson

It started with a cane pole, bobber and wiggling worm. Then came casting and spinning reels.   After a while,  bait- sit- and wait evolved into trolling, running a lure, bouncing a grub.  This could have lasted a lifetime and been very good.  But then came the challenge of catching, or attempting to catch, a fish [...]

Photo Essay Entry – Dating an Angler – by Melody Dawson

It’s no secret that men and women are different. For example, have you ever noticed that Columbia markets its PFG shirts to men with phrases like “blood and guts resistant” while those words are nowhere to be found on the tag for women? When I first began dating an angler, I knew little about fishing, [...]
