A fat fish and some very interested ducks.

Now this would be even better had I caught the Walleye myself but unfortunately due to weather and driving that wasn't possible. I am surprised I have not had Walleye before...

In my travels across this great country I of course had to do some fishing. Beautiful setting in Corpus Christi, Texas for a day of fishing.

Recently a 20-pound carp ran for city council in Ann Arbor Michigan, but was unsuccessful in clinching the win. It seems that this large fishy fellow was seeking to win by write in votes. He first gained notoriety when preservation workers at a local pond caught him vandalizing vegetation. He was quickly relocated to Huron River just a short distance away. After his move, the carp announced his in

A law that allows people to harvest the meat of deer, elk, moose and antelope that are slain by vehicles in Montana has gone into effect, but those who are hungry for roadkill will need to wait just a few months longer to turn on the grill.

This show included both Montana-based companies and companies based outside of Montana, all of which cater to fly fishing in some aspect or another.

I’m sorry to inform you that this list is going to be rather short, as the fish naturally have limited real flies to choose from this time of year. This means, we don’t have very many tied flies that will work in the winter. My husband is an avid fly fisherman, even in the winter months...

I remember my brothers spending hours digging up night crawlers to use for bait. I would scream if I had to string one of those slimy buggers on my hook. Just thinking about it makes me a little nauseou
