The excellent Midcurrent asks the question and I believe the angler photographed offers the perfect response.
Look like that and I strongly suspect that even the most gnarled and world-weary guide will be putty in your hands. A trouble-free guided trip, guaranteed. As long as you’re good with a doting puppy…
Taste is an issue in more ways than one when a company makes chocolate grenades and handguns but at least Aeon Meridian’s Outdoorsman Package seems comparatively restrained…
“This is our all inclusive Vintage chocolate ammo and fishing tin package. All of our vintage chocolate ammo tins are included in this package as well as the Fishing [...]
“The Trout Mask Replica Head-Mounted Display
The Trout Mask Replica System is a sophisticated hardware/software combination that allows the user to view the world through the eyes of a fish in a stream…”
Oh dear. Someone’s having a slow day in the office…
I’m last one onto the train with this, I know but the trailer of a new film from Felt Soul Media has only just come to my attention and it would be a soulless fishing blogger who didn’t give it a plug somewhere down the line.
If you only know of Kamchatka through the game of [...]
Assuming I’m not the only one who enjoyed Moldy Chum’s ‘Patron Saints of Fishing’ series (search against ’saint’ on Moldy’s old site: St Bobberganoush, patron saint of strike indicators, is my personal favourite, although for its wonderfully unabashed cheesiness, Larry Van Pelt’s ‘With You Always‘ still enjoys pride of place in this believer’s artistic [...]

Fourth go and I get:
“Certainly your trout are more prosperous to vaccuum than the flying coachmen of Czar Nicholai!”

Nice idea from TackleBoxes2Go, whose lure boxes tailored to specific scenarios is worthy of imitation here in the fur’n’feathers division.
Just in time for Christmas, I proudly present the Taunted By Waters bespoke fly range (‘Matchin’ whatever’s hatchin”):
The ‘Impervious to Advertising‘ selection
The ‘Under-gunned Paranoia‘ kit (note: not all flies shown)
The ‘Purist’s Delight‘

It could just be recession stress manifesting itself in devious ways but I’m reading posts from fishing bloggers that they may come to regret once saner times return.
First, this from the Mad Fishicist:
“This week my family ate salmon from our home river marinated with the berries we picked while fishing for [...]

Ah, ’tis the season. Thanksgiving beckons, Christmas around the corner, Britain’s first snow on the ground and fishing hacks reprising Chaplinesque pratfalls on slippery pavements.
If this blog’s posts read a little slowly for the next month or so, it’s because a broken humerus means I can’t write very fast. Any trophy wives out there [...]
When fly fishermen talk about lodge culture, freemasonry is the last thing on their mind.
Instead, they’re thinking of the final flourish of a day’s fishing, the distant light and wisps of smoke that summon the angler home at dusk; the roaring fire and smell of cooking that assails the senses as he removes his boots; [...]

“Best fishing book ever…”
We all have one. I'm taking names...
Ninety-two in the Shade, by Thomas McGuane. "the finest fishing novel ever written, with the possible exception of Moby-Dick" - Paul Quarrington, Toronto Globe & Mail
The Joys of Trout, by Arnold Gingrich. "What a great book to read." - Pastor Caster, FlyAnglers.org
The Habit of Rivers: Reflections on Trout Streams and Fly Fishing, by Ted Leeson. "I find myself coming back to...'Habit of Rivers' quite a bit...Extremely well written book." - sculpin1, Fly Fisherman forum
Curtis Creek Manifesto, by Sheridan Anderson. "...hands-down the best book I’ve found to learn about the basics of fishing." - Kim Jackson, Albany Democrat-Herald
About Me
Taunted By Waters is what Trout Fisherman features editor Jeffrey Prest gets up to between salary negotiations.
Much as he'd like the credit for this play on the famous last words in A River Runs Through It, the real hero is Hannah Nordhaus, who coined the phrase in an article on her first try at flyfishing, for Rocky Mountain News. This blog is dedicated to her. The good bits, anyway.
