Flies From Owl
Recently I won some zebra midges from Jeff “Owl” Jones. Jeff has his own site,www.owljones.com, and is also an active member of the Outdoor Blogger Network. I won the flies as part of a contest on his site.
The package came yesterday and I’m happy to report that in addition to a dozen nice looking midges, there were a few extra dry flies as well.
Jeff does some really nice work. He also ties flies for sale, so if you’re interested contact him at the link above.
Enjoy!
Yale Anglers’ Journal
One of the great discoveries during my time in Connecticut was the Yale Anglers’ Journal.
Officially described as “a literary publication dedicated to understanding angling and the natural world”, it is filled with short stories, poems, essays and artwork from both professional and amateur writers.
Founded in 1996, it is edited and published bi-annually by Yale University undergraduates who do a great job and produce quality work.
If you have some downtime because spring hasn’t sprung in your area and/or you’re looking for something different, order a copy or a subscription to the YAJ. Enjoy!
Outdoor Blogger Network Summer 2011 Rendezvous
There are many of us who have become fans and members of the Outdoor Blogger Network (OBN). It has become a hub for those who write about fishing, hunting, photography, paddle sports and other outdoor interests. OBN also has a forum, frequent giveaways, and opportunities to test new products. It is an invaluble resource and a place to meet other bloggers.
OBN has just launched the first details of their summer 2011 rendezvous. For those who want to meetup with other outdoor bloggers this is a great opportunity.
The plan is to meet Wed August 10 – Sat August 13, in Estes Park, CO.
