Andros Island Bahamas April 2018 Trip Photo Blog
Another great trip down to Andros Island Bonefish Club! This place does it best! Great guides, great service, and awesome fishing! Thanks again to everybody down at Andros Island Bonefish Club. I will be posting new hosted trip dates here shortly. But, in the meantime I am more than happy to arrange a trip anytime […]
The Nick Adams Stories
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!
care of cork drags
I spent a few minutes applying neatsfoot oil to all of my Abel cork drags. Smooth as silk! If you have a cork drag, stop in the shop and apply some oil.

Annual Spring Party Rescheduled to April 26th
Well, it is pretty obvious that the D&H Crew is a lot more tuned in to the upcoming fishing season than we are the upcoming baseball season. Would you believe it, the Reds are going to play their first game of the season this coming Thursday. Who would have known? Not D&H. We are going […]
Scouting local streams for the upcoming season
Ted and Henry got out on Saturday to scout some of the local streams for this upcoming season. Everyone in the shop is anxious to start chasing smallies! If you have any questions about what local opportunities there are for fly fishing in the Cincinnati area, stop in the shop and chew the fat. We […]
Getting a new pair of waders
Give yourself enough time to come in to the shop and try on waders and boots. I think too many folks get waders that are too tight. Think about squatting down behind some high grass while fishing a spring creek; crawling around boulders in a mountain stream fishing pocket water; sitting in a drift boat; […]

Barbour Beaufort Wax Jacket
D&H opened for business in 1994 and Barbour was a core brand for us on day one. I bought my first Barbour jacket in a warehouse district in Chicago at an interesting shop that is no longer in business. Hardly anyone in The States had heard of Barbour in 1987, but I knew right away […]
Third Week of the Six Nations Rugby Tournament 2018
The Six Nations Rugby Tournament is followed by fans all over the world, including Cincinnati. The rugby fans in Cincinnati have very limited ways to follow the sport. Over the years, some of the local bars have attempted to show matches, but there have been many technical difficulties that have not made this a sure […]
