Tom’s Tarpon: Fly Fishing For Tarpon from WorldANGLING on Vimeo.

A short clip of “Silver” a (2-3 part?) series film about chasing tarpon, bonefish, and permit on the flats. This first clip highlights a little Keys tarpon fishing with the boys.

Tunes: Scott H. Biram, “Blood, Sweat, and Murder”

A little clip of how to tie Larry Dahlberg’s Bonecrusher, a very effective bonefish fly. Read more about it the fly here: bonefishonthebrain.com.

Found this little beauty on the (french?) blog Le Mouching (a self-styled “Porn to Fish!” site).

A talk at TED 2010 about 2 farmed fish and the search for a model for sustainable food production. Loved this.

For all the bad news out there–seems there’s more every day–it has prompted a great rethinking of how we do things and how we should do things instead. I love this guys story; I am reminded of the revolutionary thinking of the folks that gave us Cradle To Cradle, which (if you haven’t already read) you should read immediately… if not sooner.

I know, I know; I’m depressed by this too. But we still NEED to pay attention. Really.

A review of the flycasting DVD “Taming the Wind: Prescott Smith Reveals His Secrets & New Techniques for Casting Into the Wind.”

A breakdown of the basic techniques covered in Mr. Smith’s instructional DVD, and the benefits of this revolutionary casting style. Though this DVD has been out for a while, I’d heard very little about it. So, I bought it, watched it, studied it, practiced the techniques, and used it to help teach a brand new fly caster. Guess what: IT WORKS! I really wish I’d found this DVD years ago. I KNOW I’d have gotten better faster.

Even though I cover some basic stuff in it, there’s plenty more there, trust me. Do yourself a favor and find a copy. Doesn’t matter where we are–the river, the lake, the beach, or on the flats–the wind is our biggest challenge…rise to the challenge with the movie.
