An old friend from LA, Al Quattrocchi, has been quite active in conservation efforts in Southern California. One of the projects that he has been a key player in is the “One Surf Fly” event. The most recent “OSF” was just completed with some $1,600 going toward the Matilija Dam project. If you are in [...]

Those on the FF&W E-List already got an excerpt from the upcoming Fishing the Film book, but I figured that the blog could use it’s own little snippet, as well. This is from a story about fishing damselflies in the film, and includes one of the drawings from the book. …We had observed and photographed [...]

FF&W [expeditions]™ is now booking spots for a select few anglers who have what it takes to meet the challenge of the puffer. We recommend appropriate angling gear (flip-flops are a good start), and specialty flies such as a pink Bogglehead (shown), or a size 12 Hare’s Ear. After years of research and the redemption [...]

While many FF&W readers have likely already heard about the freeze issues affecting the Florida coastal fishery, I thought that I’d put up a quick link to the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust’s news center (includes links to official FWC statements, as well).

While there is still plenty of fishing to be had for some of the FF&W readership, others may be finding themselves staring at hard water and closed seasons. Well, it may not be fishing season for all of you, but it’s definitely MPR season! As many FF&W readers know, I am a fan of Echo’s [...]

Not much to say about this beyond the post title. I just like the flow of the composition and framing (and the subject matter, of course). (For those who recall the old photographic adage “If you can’t make your shot good, make it red,” this is the modern update: “If you can’t make your shot [...]
