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.

A Saturday Snowstorm

January 24, 2015September 7, 2016 Jo Tango

  About 6″ of snow fell today. I went fishing today during the storm. Conditions actually weren’t that bad, and I saw only one other angler. I hooked and landed two trout. A video of a 17″ one is at the bottom (or, click here). I caught it on a size 32 hook, which is

A POV for Those Who Are Engaged to Marry

A Day Off

January 2, 2015January 2, 2015 Jo Tango

  I’m grateful for this holiday week. I’m caught up on email, as well as most household chores. So, I decided to spend the day outside. I fished a local river. It was cold and windy. Only crazy people go fly fishing on January 2. I ran into quite a few other anglers. Everyone was very

Chilling Out on NYD

January 1, 2015January 1, 2015 Jo Tango

We today, on New Year’s Day, drove from Jay Peak for four hours straight, no stops. It was a stress-free drive, with clear and dry roads. There’s not much snow in New England right now, although I suspect we will get plenty in the coming weeks. Skiing during Christmas week is hit or miss, depending
