Toronto Sportsmen’s Show This Week!!

That’s right, it’s that time of year again!! The Toronto Sportsmen’s Show is the largest of it’s kind in Canada, featuring a convention hall packed to the rim with everything an outdoorsman could dream of, and more!

This year is extra special because I’ve just landed a set of press passes which will not only mean I’ll probably be there everyday, but we’ll also be live blogging the event here and on Twitter. So keep your eyes on both, and if you happen to see me at the convention don’t be afraid to tap me on the shoulder and say hello!

If any of you are going to be there on the same day, or if we can organize something, perhaps we can get a group dinner together or something. Let me know!

Japanese Rainbow Trout From Adam Guy

Our good friend and long-time contributor Adam Guy wrote me to say that he’s recently picked up fly fishing and has been getting his practice in on a locally stocked pond where he can also keep a small portion of his catch to bring home and eat. Of course no post of his would be complete without something to get you salivating..

1. The French dish truites aux amandes; made with just butter, lemon, parsley and almonds, it is simplicity itself.
2. Seared trout fillets with a sauce of Marsala wine, cream and Japanese shimeji mushrooms.
3. Good old fish and chips, made with trout in a beer batter; it tasted better than some sea-fish I have eaten.

Once I have gained a little skill, I fully intend to hit the mountains and coasts of Japan with my fly rod. There is plenty of game here such as several species of native char and trout, a version of the famous taimen, Hucho perryi, called “itoh” in Japanese, and even our very own Asian salmon, the cherry or masu salmon (“sakuramasu”). Of course these creatures would probably not end up on my dinner plate, as perhaps due to my increasing age I feel less inclined to kill and eat my catch, but I will be sure to send you a photographic record of my fishing trips here.
Cheers,
Adam

Another Great Fly Fishing Tattoo!

If there’s one thing we love here at Fishing Fury, other than fishing of course, it’s gotta be fishing related tattoos! This recent post from The Female Angle blog is another fine example of how much fishing means to some people. The tattoo is not actually on the author of the post, but rather the author is the creator of the fly- now immortalized in an amazing tattoo!
