There are moments where blogs seem to write themselves in my mind while an experience is taking place. The sun shines a little brighter, the cool water swirls around my wading boots.. ducks taking off just downstream and flying feet overhead. It sounds to be straight from a book, but no – it’s fly fishing. This weekend was truly one of those times, and as I am writing this I am smiling while reliving it all over again.
Usually my blogs start off as a story and I save the best photo for last… but this time I am going to lay it on you right away. CHECK OUT THIS FISH:
My first ever brown trout caught yesterday here in Ontario, Canada. (Yes, mud on my nose! haha)
Brown trout are officially the most beautiful fish I’ve seen here in Canada. This one was spotted during a steelhead mission on a Lake Ontario tributary with my usual fly fishing partner, Mikey Fitzgerald. We made quite a trek down stream towards the big lake and began fishing when we spotted a couple trout.
Last weekend a few friends and I spent the weekend in Cobourg so that we could dedicate some serious time hunting the surrounding rivers and streams in search of trout. Our usual spot was void of trout, but we ventured further upstream and found several other pools. You can read the full report on our forums and view all the photos in our gallery.

Since I got my hands on the RainBallet Underwater iPhone4 case I’ve filmed all kinds of underwater shots to test its versatility. I put together a few test shots into a single video so you can get an idea of what to expect from the underwater footage on your iPhone. Check it out and let me know what you think and if there’s something you’d like me to test for the upcoming full review.
We’ve been super busy this year taking on projects whenever possible. Here is one such project, Fins + Skins Magazine 2011. This is our second year working with Henry Waszczuk and hopefully we’ll see some more projects with him soon!

Bay View Resort is a fantastic getaway in the Kawartha Lakes region of Ontario, less than two hours from Toronto, and on the western shore of Lower Buckhorn’s Dear Bay. My friends and I spent the weekend here in a three bedroom cottage, we even rented a boat and spent a day fishing. Everything was well maintained and we had a fabulous time, the owner was extremely friendly and helpful, even my dog loved it. I would definitely go back to Bay View Resort.
As of January 1, 2012, fresh waters in Massachusetts have gone lead free for sinkers and jigs under 1 oz. It's always good so see another steel option because tungsten is so much more [...]
Considering the "winter" we've been having here in New England, I couldn't give an honest review even if they just gave me one. I hope things are messier/colder up there.
John, well firstly this is a fishing blog and therefore we cover everything related to fishing that should be obvious. Both retailers you mentioned do not give any of their profits (that I know of) [...]
