Recently I’ve been reading Daniel Pinks’, A Whole New Mind, and it’s quite intriguing. It came as recommended reading from my boss at work, and I was intrigued by the concept of the book right from the start.

I walked out the back door yesterday afternoon – to take out the trash – and I was promptly met by spring.

When I was out fly fishing last Sunday, one of the comments I got was a general observation, but it’s the one I’ve been thinking about as a general river theme. One man remarked after asking me how the fishing was (not good),”Well the river is pretty low right now.”
Yes. And that means? I wanted to ask him, but [...]

With the 3rd year of SimplyOutdoors existence approaching, all of us felt that the site needed a change – a premium makeover if you will.

Last weekend was one of the best weekends I’ve had in quite awhile; and honestly, two of the activities that I had an absolute blast participating in, you wouldn’t have caught me doing just a few years ago. I guess teaching an old dog a new trick every once in awhile can pay off, huh?

Go to The Amazing Women Of The OutdoorsOnce, when I was in Alaska, I was casting into the surf, just to see if I could entice a passing salmon or two.

If my over-active imagination serves me correctly [...]
