A Memorable Moment on the Henry’s Fork
By Donna Landreth
Donna and her husband, Harry, spent a lifetime fly fishing the western streams for trout. I hope you are inspired by her joy of...
Fly Presentation
The most important factor in catching fish using a fly rod is presentation. The fish are in the water, a stream, lake, or ocean, and you want the fish to see your offering as...
The following two verses is where the rubber meets the road.
John 8:43-47, “Why don’t you understand what I say? Because you cannot listen to my Word. You are of your father the devil, and you...
Here is what an old Kentucky River fisherman told me how to catch sauger, and sure did catch a lot of Sauger. Sauger stay close to the bottom. Inches from the bottom can make a major difference. ...
My old tracker is a 1985. It is still in great condition... No leaks! To many memories to ditch her now.
Elwood Lumpkins
(Elnut Birdwood)
Before daylight
Across Dale’s dark water
In his “Deep-V” he would fly
With a determined look in his eye
He was a F-n-F certifiable nut
But how he thinks is...
In my response to Moveon, I will share with the form the story that occurred recently. A few days ago I was working in the yard when I noticed a movement next to me. When I turned around, it was a...
I apologize for placing this post on the fishing form. I meant for it to be place on the "Off Topic" form. I must be more careful. I thought Peter had taken the post down when I looked for it. I...
During this time in our nation, the nation is divided along political ideologies. This division has fostered resentment among our people. So does this resentment lead to confrontation, which leads...
You can go to U-tube and watch the guy use a Lorance Elite unit in his fish tank without any reaction when the trans is activated.
Its the Time of Year
Its the time of year
When the long grass
Blow in waves
And swallows perform spiraling dives
With mud they seal their nest
Its the time of year
When the early morning...
To all of you fishermen, when a man as sick as Elwood was through the years, he always had his fishing gear next to his bedside when he was at home. He was trying his best to the end to get well...
I know from a medical standpoint how much suffering this man put up with since 2003. In my 46 years in the medical field, I know of no one that had to put up with a situation like his. I also know...
I have not heard anything this afternoon.
Elwood is having his third surgery is morning.
Elwood is having a serious surgery today at 2:00 p.m. I am sure he could use prayers, thanks
I guess you all want me to give you the answer. I thought there would be more of you guys to respond to this question. So, here goes. Largemouth bass suspend in depths of 1 to 3 feet of water...
I thought I would ask why largemouth bass suspend in groups mostly of the same size in the first 1 to 3 feet of water prespawn?
There so many u-tube videos on most all lure setups and how to use them. Give them a try.
Today is the 20th of February, a light snow is falling and the wind will cut to the bone. However, with recent spring rains and warmer temperatures, late winter migration has started. To many of us...
Elwood, oh Elwood! You had me crying last night and tonight with laughter! No one can know the misery I have lived through with this ol' man of mine, the hardest headed piece of human flesh ever...
Elwood, here is what I have to say concerning my time knowing you. It is hard to know where to start. It is true I have made some stupid decisions when trying keep up with you and Vaun when it...
Elwood, your number you gave me says it no longer works. So, give me another. I will try to PM you with my number, and if you can read phone numbers rather than fish numbers, maybe you can call me....
Anyone who fishes with Elwood is at a total disadvantage. His brain scan looks just like a smallmouth's brain, so good luck trying to outsmart him. It is also a disadvantage when you sitting in the...
Will13, It is good to hear from you as well. It is good to see Elwood circulating again. You know his tackle bag has been his problem all along. He keeps anything from bubble gum to sledge hammers...
You know, Elwood, all the things that are said by the ones who fish and post on Fishin.com are partly true and partly fiction. I also know through the years from those hospital beds it has been hard...
Elwood, you must have finally come out the swamp. I am glad you are alive and kicking my friend. To my technique of hook-set, it has been working beyond all expectation. Wider gap, crimped and...
Glistening Waters
Over glistening waters
Of layered autumn colors
Turn silver wings to the evening sun
To fields of harvest gold
Upon glistening waters
In reflected sunset crimson
A lone...
The Water Breaks
As the sun
Breaks the horizon
Fog lays heavy
Over a silver reflecting glaze
Between surfacing branches
Laced webs
Heavy with due
Sparkle in the morning glow
It’s Christmas Eve
The dawn breaks to a glorious morn
A misty haze lays low across sage fields
Sparrows pick seed from fed hay
Cats sit fluffed in warm woolen coats
Horses stand sleepily...
The Turkey is Basting
The rays of the setting sun
On a late November afternoon
Turns rusty leaves to gold
Horses in the fields
Graze the last of clover
Among what once was
The brilliance of...
A Reprieve from August
Winter has come
To autumn this morning
The sun is low
Shadows are long
There’s ice in the buckets
Fields are frosted
Leaves still attached
Shimmer in a cold north...
September
The month of change
From hot to cool
Dry to wet
Green to colors
T-shirts to sweaters
Hot dogs to hot soup
Nesting to migration
Boating to fishing
As you can see it is 4:24 A.M. in the morning. I just came in off Lake Cumberland after fishing the night. When I got home, I took a large mouth bass out of the livewell and put it in a large...
I was fishing on a small lake from the bank with a flyrod with a yellow and black Ovis bass popping fly. Down the back in front me in hole in the moss, I could see a big large mouth messing around....
Lake level is around 721 and there is only one ramp open for the lake. They are working of the bridge and this level will be maintained for the rest of the year it seems. I would think if you can...
If you want a firestorm, start talking about fishing tournament fishing during spawning season. Biologists say studies have proven it “doesn’t SEEM to harm the bass population.” But if anyone has a...
Left Handed Flies
When the wind becomes a concern, many fly fishermen find themselves unprepared to deal with the wind. Being able to handle the wind will improve one’s enjoyment and success. In...
I have been putting together different setups to use this year, but here is the problem I have. Understand, I am complaining. I just have to stay in my limits as to how much I can spend on fishing...
Remember
Remember those low light
Cold, overcast, snowy days
When pressure and temperature drops
And its hard to see through the misty haze
Its then baitfish become disoriented and confused...
This reel does have metal roller clutch bearings that most likely will have to be placed at some point if use in salt water. But it looks like this reel has brought baitcasters to a new level of...
My Personal Best
For a few weeks now I have been going through my tackle making sure I have it ready for winter and spring fishing. In fact, in these biter cold days and evenings, I have spent a...
It’s Christmas Eve
The dawn breaks to a glorious morn
A misty haze lays low across sage fields
Sparrows pick seed from the fed hay
Cats sit fluffed in warm woolen coats
Horses stand sleepily...
I would like to continue on the subject of braided lines as to some of the concerns when using braided line. If you have used braid, you know you have trouble breaking it by hand. It will cut you. ...
Braided Fishing Lines
I did some research on braided fishing lines and I thought I would share some thoughts with you. Braid is polyethylene (PE) fishing line, and as you will see, thread count...
All is Silent
This morning
A cold East breeze has pushed away
The warm late October afternoons
Swirls of wood smoke
Can be seen above chimneys
Settling across trees of color
The lake lies...
High Water Sloughs
In late evening
The golden sunrays
Illuminate the shores
As far as one can see
In high water sloughs
Bright green mosses
Stay dominant
On long fallen logs
When I fished with Elwood with the fly, there is no one as hard nailed as him when it came to being serious about fishing with the fly. His tackle and rods and reels had to be perfect the night...
Sultans of the Fly
From dreams
Of the lady in “Bronze”
With red and golden eyes
They rise
Before light
It matters not
If rain or snow
They zip their suits
There are many reasons why one may fish. For me it is the enjoyment of what awaits during a day of fishing. It may be swells of flowers and vines on the shore. It may the water birds feeding on...
