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 [...]

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, [...]

To a diehard fly fisherman, Brevard, North Carolina is on the way home to Charleston from Charlotte airport. Really. Never mind that Brevard is over 2 hours from the Airport, in the opposite direction of Charleston. The way a fisherman sees it, once at the airport, you are 2 hours closer to Brevard, home of [...]

On September 18th, 2011, I was an ancillary invite on a fishing trip – the turning point for all my thoughts on fishing. I never liked to fish. My dad took me bass and bream fishing as a child and I was never excited about it. I never understood how Robert, my husband, and his friends [...]

Hard to describe what was better, catching the 22 inch cutthroat on a dry fly on the Slough Creek in beautiful Yellowstone or the fact that it was bigger than the 20 incher my dad caught the same day. We had a great week, all catch and release , and no close encounters with the [...]

Brent and Annie came into town this weekend before leaving for California. Brent wanted to catch one last Redfish in SC before they moved across country. Despite the windy conditions we were determined to find some fish. We found a creek sheltered from the wind and set up to fish a couple of docks that [...]

The summer of 2011 was a very strange and interesting journey. I played lacrosse, went to summer camp, helped take care of a foreign exchanged student, roamed Washington D.C., and last but not least went fishing with my dad and friends. Going fishing with my dad was the highlight of my summer. We would go [...]

Like most kids, my four-year-old daughter Mia absolutely loves fishing. Unlike most kids, however, she refuses to let adults do any of the work. She insists of choosing the tackle, rigging up the pole and casting all by herself. This poses obvious problems, because four-year-olds aren’t known for their knot-tying and casting abilities. Her stubby [...]

It was a beautiful day on the cooper river when I cast my lure into rocks and debris and I felt a small bump on my lure. At first I thought I was just bumping on some rocks. So I stopped reeling my pinnacle bait caster. Then I realized I was not bumping onto some [...]
