             lake, tidal water, and offshore

how to  find the right bait for the fish you want to attract

how to  select and usse the right tackle

how to  tie and use the all-important knots


"A useful source of basic reference about types of tackle, the various kinds of baits for both fresh and salt water and the proper rigs that have proved to be successful."     Sports Afield

"Bait fishing is often treated as if putting a worm on a hook, throwing the line inthe water, and falling asleep until something either grabs or doewsn't grab the bait is all there is to it. This is very unfair. Since there are as many intricacies to thie game as to any other, and since knowing them can add to one's angling peleasure,e the gubject deserves respecrful consideration. In this book, Ray Ovington had given it just that"    Field & Stream

“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten” - Benjamin Franklin

"Be sure in casting, that your fly fall first into the water, for if the line fall first, it scares or frightens the fish..." -
Col. Robert Venables 1662

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.

We've all had situations where seriously chewed up flies kept catching fish after fish after fish. It is no sin to tie flies that come off the vise looking seriously chewed up.


Warning:

The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.

Beware of the Dogma
