Stuff We Like Inspired by our Travel
Fishing should be fun. Part of that is art and food and other things that don't put fish in the boat, but nevertheless make you enjoy the process more.
Tie on a Tuna
I am not a fan of the necktie in any form – conventional, bowtie, ascot or otherwise. I feel that it’s an antiquated social signifier that has outlived its usefulness, but as I’ve written previously, “if you’re going to wear a tie it might as well be a fun one.” Nothing’s more fun than tuna.
GTs: Pop Your Top
I’ve repeatedly made it clear that fishing the flats for giant trevally with big poppers is at the top of the top of my list of bucket list experiences. Until then (or perhaps never) I will not be getting a GT tattoo, nor will I be spending a thousand bucks apiece on high-quality popping rods and reels – but a hat might be a more reasonable expenditure.
It’s a Long Way to the Top of Our Tee of the Week Rankings
This week’s favorite t-shirt comes from the East Rosebud Fly Shop in Montana, whose motto – for reasons that will soon become obvious – is “For those about to fish, we salute you.”
