My wife and I recently went out to the Bay Area to visit my son. Since Yosemite National Park is only a few hours away from San Fransisco, we decided to spend a few days there, as it is one of the national parks I was most excited to visit. It did not disappoint! We [...]

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park
I had the pleasure of doing some Fall camping in the Smoky Mountains this past weekend, 4 days 3 nights at Elkmont Campground. The Little River runs through the campground and is teaming with wild rainbow, brown, and, in the upper reaches, brook trout. I was looking forward to spending a good amount of time [...]

Coronavirus Camping, August 2020
2020 was a rough year, but we tried to carve out some good with our annual camping trip to the Catskills. Three families in our little "bubble," all being safe apart, felt it was safe enough to come together in the woods for some much needed, socially distant diversity from the monotony of the homebound, [...]
East Branch of the Croton River
I finally decided to fish a new river that is very local to my home in Westchester County, NY, the East Branch of the Croton River. At only 20-25 minutes away in Brewster, NY, it is a tailwater fishery that holds some surprisingly good sized trout. It's a small river, but open all year with [...]
Salmon River, NY, busted again.
My buddy and I hit the Salmon River looking for steelhead last weekend, neither the fish nor the weather were cooperative however. We drove up on Friday night, getting in late, and fished all day Saturday and the first half of Sunday before heading home. The forecast for Saturday called for temps in the mid [...]
