Active Child is a musical project by choirboy-turned-indie-pop musician Pat Grossi. This track, titled Hanging On, is very spacey and ethereal, but magically incorporates the feeling of the untouched natural world. Not to mention some fantastic fly fishing footage.

I first found Shawn Bichsel’s art on instagram so I asked him if he would let me post some here. As it turns out he also has his own blog, lines in the dirt, where you can find more fantastic art like the stuff below.

Modeled after Duchamp’s 1913 ready made, Bicycle Wheel, this auto-jigger harnesses the power of the wind. A silver dinner bell rings when a fish bites. Perfect for catching panfish and Dadaists. Debuts Sunday January 29th, 2012 at the Art Shanty Projects.

The one-and-only Owl Jones is looking for love*, so he’s made a short video about himself. Yes ladies, this man is available. I wonder if April Vokey is single…

While you’re thinking about Owl Jones you should know that he’s running a fly tying contest where you could win a new Wind River 5wt. fly rod and a $25 Gift Card to J. Stockard Fly Tying. Check out his post for more information.

Owl’s video is actually a brilliant parody of the eHarmony dating video.

When you’re filming for a tv show you want to catch fish as often as possible, and as big as possible. Well things could not have gone better during this filming of No Excuses Outdoor TV in Saskatchewan. Throughout the video they’re landing nice walleye pretty consistently, but at about nine and a half minutes a 14 pound mega-walleye shows up for his 15 minutes of fame.

The fish was caught on a PK Lures PK spoon, and the man who caught it is Tim Geni. You can check out more great videos on PK lures website and you can read more about this world record catch on the Saskatchewan Tourisum website.

Salamander Sinkers Tie On Sinkers

Salamander Sinkers are a snag resistant, lead free fishing sinker perfect for smallmouth, walleye and steelhead. These tie on sinkers are made of rubber, steal weights, a stainless steel wire to hold it all together and topped off with a swivel to prevent line twists. The Drop Shot Sinkers shown here sell for $2.49 (2 per package) and the larger inline sinkers sell for $4.99.

Salamander Sinkers unique design uses steal weights to counter balance the natural buoyancy of the rubber body, which is snag-free and absorb vibrations to give increased sensitivity. We’ll see if they live up to the hype by putting them to the test this year.

Stay tuned for the full review and continue reading for a close-up!
