Brian Irwin Slide Show – Sept. 4 @7pm

July 22, 2015 by adminewa Leave a Comment

Sept. 4, 2015 – Brian Irwin  7pm
@  EWA Store

DCIM100GOPRO

DCIM100GOPRO

Hailing from the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Brian is a regular contributor to Fly Fisherman Magazine, member of the Outdoor Writers Association and photographer.

From the Upper Tuolumne River under the smoke of the Rim Fire to the northern reaches of Mantioba, from Texas’ Lower Laguna Madre to the flats of Southern Belize, Brian will explore how human impact is affecting a not-yet-faltering set of waters.  Dam removal, agricultural runoff and nascent conservation efforts will all be discussed as I share a year in search of trophy brookies, redfish, permit and Snake River native cutthroat.

Airlines xecs obviously don’t flyfish

October 4, 2009 by Dave McCoy

india_preparation1
Had to post just one more thing here before I step on the plane.

Trip after trip, it becomes quite evident to me that those making decisions on baggage limits for the airlines clearly do not travel to fly fish. Looking at what I had to take and trust me, I paired this down to the minimum for this trip but still have a camera case that weighs 30 pounds and all of this had to fit into a bag I could zip myself into, almost. I will end up having to pay the airline because as you can easily see, there is no way this will be less than 50 pounds of gear!
