Buying flies for the cause

By Anglerwannabe On October 14, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Everyone who keeps up with fly fishing new media (first time I’ve heard all 4 of those words together I think) knows about Recycled Fish and Teeg Stouffer.  Teeg is one of the hosts of the Fish Schtick, a consistently entertaining and informative podcast, frequently with a fly fishing focus.  Teeg […]

By Anglerwannabe On September 30, 2011 · 2 Comments

And now for something completely different….

I’m honored to be next to host a @onebugisfake aka Brandon Robinson the “Free Agent Blogger” post.  You can follow him on Twitter or catch him at his new site appropriately named – OneBugIsFake.com. I haven’t had a chance to properly fish with him yet […]

Land of Mullets and Trout

By Anglerwannabe On September 5, 2011 · 4 Comments

Apparently people in southeastern Oklahoma are in some kind of time warp. Mullets are still in style and harvesters of 8″ trout can still be found easily there. Kids running out of their family pickup into the local McDonalds that answer to “Chigger” and “Mutt” just add to the local flavor. Oh Broken Bow, I still love you.

I […]

Fishing, Tweeps, and Tunes

By Anglerwannabe On August 6, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Brandon, of @onebugisfake Twitter handle, has been working overtime to assemble a weekend of fly fishing and down home Texas music in October. It should be a great time for everyone. On top of it all, proceeds benefit Project Healing Waters which is a fine organization that gives you an even better reason to attend. […]

Fly Fishing Apprentice

By Anglerwannabe On August 5, 2011 · 1 Comment

My father-in-law happens to have a client (he’s a CPA) that owns a vacation home in Breckenridge Colorado. Oh to inherit oil rights. It’s amazingly common in Texas and parts of the South. My family goes there yearly as she lets us stay at the house when we want. It’s at the top of a […]

Gierach Interview

By Anglerwannabe On July 31, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I’ve always been fascinated with John Gierach’s short stories. I’m not sure if I’ll ever achieve the slacker ways of true Trout Bum status as I’ve chosen a life path that won’t allow me to spend my entire existence on cold water streams but reading his stories can transport me temporarily to Lyons Colorado where […]

Lotsa stuff soon

By Anglerwannabe On July 25, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I promise, I have not abandoned this blog. I have been fishing but just can’t get myself to post to this blog thingy of mine. Seems like every time I get around to sitting down at my Mac or iPad to compose some witty blog post in the fly fishing blogger’s snarky tone of voice, […]

Barton Creek video snippet

By Anglerwannabe On April 23, 2011 · 2 Comments

I was poking around on my Mac the other day and found a bunch of videos I took with my old iPhone 3gs.  One in particular was kind of cool as it showed what Barton Creek can look like when we have a decent amount of rain.  It looks so “trouty”.

Lost and Found

By Anglerwannabe On April 22, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I’ve been itching to get a boat again after watching the local tweeps from the sidelines talk about all the water they’ve been accessing lately. Being a wader only in Texas really limits the spots you can fish. Having a 4 door sedan and a Mini Cooper doesn’t make it easy to get the more […]
