I walked out the back door yesterday afternoon – to take out the trash – and I was promptly met by spring. This weekend the weather has been unbelievable, especially considering that we were ice fishing just last weekend; we hit the 50 degree mark yesterday, and we’re supposed to be in the high 40’s, [...]

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.

Go to SimplyOutdoors.net: New….with a Bonus!On Sunday I took Bandon the Bashful out for a Valentines Day event I knew she would appreciate more than say, a rawhide dipped in chocolate.

I went to a new section of [...]
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. I was delighted when I felt the undeniable pull of a fish and I quickly reeled up my prize onto the sandy beach. The thrill turned to shock when I got a good look at my bounty. If my over-active imagination serves me correctly [...]

I’m not sure what the above fly is called, maybe the man who gave it to me told me, maybe he didn’t. The fly used to have little rubber legs and was a bit more fluffy and distinguished. Now it’s a piece of my vintage fly history and a testament to the kindness I’ve stumbled across while on [...]

Walking on the ice has always felt unnatural to me; it always feels like something I shouldn’t be doing. And as we rolled onto the ice on Saturday, it still felt odd….but I sucked it up, and pressed on.
