Urban Lines – Fish Where You Are

There are a ton of great fishing videos out there, but it’s extremely rare to for one to unveil an “unknown” fishery in the heart of one of the most densely populated and historic areas in the United States. Urban Lines follows four fly fishermen in Washington, D.C. and their pursuit to show the epic fishing potential of the Potomac River and protect its resources for future generations. It’s about thinking globally and fishing locally.

Now Serving Fresh Fishing Literature

We’ve expanded our reviews to include fishing books, and we’re dropping two of those reviews right now. These two books are relatively new, I think they were both published this year, so you should be able to find them on Amazon or your nearest big ass book store. We’ve also got some vintage fishing books that we plan on reviewing later so stay tuned.

In “Catfish Hunters”, the reader receives insights into catfishing derived from 120 collective years between the authors, Jake Bussolini and Mac Byrum. From hilarious anecdotes of being stabbed by a catfish barb, to suppositions that some of the “young folk” have taken to licking catfish for depraved recreational purposes, this book is flavoured with many elements above and beyond the text book qualities of many other examples of fishing literature.

Blaine Anderson’s Massive Striper!

There’s not much I can say about this photo, the fact is it took me a few minutes just to pick my jaw up off the table! This HUGE striped bass was caught near Long Island Sound by Blaine Anderson. I stumbled across this one on STORMR’s facebook page.

Blaine is in fact wearing a STORMR jacket just like the one we reviewed earlier this year.
