Brookville Tailwater Fishing Report
I went to Brookville Tailwaters with a client yesterday. It was a bright sunny day and temps were well into the 90’s. The flow was right at 3ft. Ed (my client) wanted to work on fishing a hopper dropper for his upcoming trip out west. Since the water was low and the sun was high […]

Elkhorn Creek fishing report
Water was a little high and slightly stained. Landed 15 fish: 13 smallmouth, 1 panfish and 1 gar. Two were caught on a Dixie Devil popper and the remaining were all caught on the D&H Bugger. I tried some other streamers without luck, so I just switched back to the Bugger that has been producing […]
Little Miami River Fishing Report June 6th
Little Miami River fishing report: decent day of fishing. Lots of canoe traffic. Had one smallie smash a Dixie Devil, one take this D&H custom tied clouser and five others take the D&H Bugger. Streamers in fast water ruled the day. -Mark
Little Miami River Fishing Report
If you saw our three facebook posts this past Friday, you know that the fishing has turned on in the Cincinnati area. With those posts as encouragement, I thought I would take a day and hit the Little Miami today. I made my way to Morgan’s Canoe at Ft. Ancient and decided I would do […]

Another good read from Hemingway. The Nick Adams Stories is a volume of short stories written by Ernest Hemingway published in 1972, a decade after the author’s death.
our fourth shipment of books in the last couple of weeks
Just received another big shipment of books. This is a great read for anglers and non-anglers alike. I enjoyed this book last 4th of July up in the Georgian Bay area of Canada. It is about a 14-year old that is sent by his military father from Vietnam to live with his grandfather in the […]
Land Rovers in NC
We came upon a collection of Rovers in the mountains of North Carolina. Ready to hit the field running…well, sort of!
