Fishing For Calm - Tedx Bozeman

The Ted Talk is officially online and can be viewed on Tedx Bozeman's Youtube Channel.

Thank you to everyone who helped craft the message and coach me on the delivery!

The message is important.  Post Traumatic Stress affects many of our returning combat veterans and they need our support.  If you can, please take the time to give of yourselves to thank those that put themselves in harm's way.

Anybody want to go fishing?

Analyzing Trout Rise Forms - A great post over at the Limp Cobra

This morning over a cup of coffee I perused the usual fly fishing blogs... Orvis, ChiWulff, Yellowstoner, and Limp Cobra.  The Cobra came through with my favorite of the day, linking me to "a real gem from Alan Bulmer at Active Angling New Zealand for your trout hunting pleasure."  It goes into different rise forms (Bulging, Tailing, Sipping) and what the fish is likely to be feeding on.

Here's a link to the full article:  https://activeanglingnz.com/2015/09/30/analysing-trout-rise-forms-a-lost-skill/

It's complete with pictures (mmmmm.... pretttyyy), a great little chart, and some good knowledge to shove into your brain bucket.  Enjoy.

Sharp Hooks,
