15 Seconds of Fly Fishing - Streamer Season

Every season is streamer season. Unless, it's winter...then it's probably not. Unless you live somewhere awesome, then it is. And hey, eff you if you do.

Got to let you know that I got a crush on you. #flyfishing #colorado #flyfishingvideo #throwbackmachine #streamerseason #biggie

15 Seconds of Fly Fishing - Wet Beak

Last fall, I got my saltwater beak wet with a little snooklet in Florida. I will be returning to Florida for some more of this salty ass action this summer. I'm looking forward to it. Enjoy.

Out with the Old...

And in with the new. Well, not quite. But, almost. It is time to formally retire the GoPro Hero 1. It's been fun. Last night, I received a shipment from GoPro.  I would like to formally welcome a new, improved tool to the Yukon Goes Fishing film making toolbelt. A brand spanking new GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition.

One Hand Holds - Egos Beware

For those dedicated carp anglers like myself, you might be familiar with the "One Hand Hold" that John Montana has popularized. I am here with a cautionary tale. It's not as easy as it looks...and sometimes, it's downright embarassing.

WARNING: Bruised Egos shown below.

Fumble.

Nailed it.

What Can Browns Do For You?

For those of you that aren't fans of YGF on facebook, the following may be news to you: (1) I caught a nice brown trout on the Big Hole and (2) I have left Montana and moved down to Colorado. The week before I left for Colorado I visited my favorite river in Montana for a farewell tour. The Big Hole treated me well. The streamer fishing was "lights out"(as some cool people say) and the big browns had their feed bags on (as other cool people say). I was lucky enough to catch a beautiful specimen of a brown trout which measured 24" in length and looked to be untouched.

Check out the video in HD. Enjoy.

Old Habits Die Hard

There is a sect of fly fishers who love them some trucker hats. Emblazoned with fly fishing company's and fly shop's logos, you'll see mesh backed trucker hats on a seemingly growing population of fisher people. I am not a fan. In a moment of weakness, I tried to fit in a few years back and wore a navy and white trucker hat. I didn't like it. I hate the harshly curved bill, breathability, and lack of Phillies logo offered by the trucker hat. Sure, it works for other people. I am not one to judge other people's fly fishing fashion choices.

But, I have a fitted baseball hat problem. I can't get away from them. I love baseball. I love the Philadelphia Phillies. I love fitted Phillies hats. Most of all, I love lamp. For whatever life occasion presents itself, I wear fitted Philadelphia Phillies hats. While I was back home for a friend's wedding, I came across these pictures from my "uwe-ff." Old habits die hard.
