A Saturday’s Worth of Fly Fishing

March 21, 2015March 21, 2015 Jo Tango

I woke up at 3.30 am today. Drove to a river. Fished all day, and ate lunch standing up in the river. Drove back. Arrived home at 8.30 pm. I had a blast. The sun felt warmer today, and there were more bugs emerging, which is good for the trout and is a clear sign that spring

A Day at the Farmington River

March 15, 2015March 15, 2015 Jo Tango

Today, Sunday, was filled with a lot of fun work. I awoke before dawn and drove to the Farmington River. It was challenging. The water is cold and the trout are savvy this time of year. But, it all worked out: a 19″ brute of a brown trout. Photos up top. And, an even bigger

There’s an incredible dialogue going on right now here on Reddit. Someone has hit rock bottom. He posted that he is going to hit the road for a few months: I’ve had a few great loves in my life. One of them is fishing, the rest of them are gone…. One by one the things I

Ruby-Red Trout & Super Bowl Weekend

January 31, 2015January 31, 2015 Jo Tango

Well, it’s finally here: Super Bowl weekend. Patriots Nation is on pins and needles for Sunday’s game. I was happy to read a NY Times article, saying that scientific experiments may prove that the Patriots’ POV of Deflate-gate may be valid after all. Honestly, I think the whole thing has been a massive Rorschach Test,
