The Fly Fishing Tidbit Search Engine

Turn it up!


Lets understand one thing clearly...."the most important thing in flyfishing is the process more than the product." In other words, enjoy the Before, After, and In Between! Enjoy the tying sessions before the big trip, enjoy the gear selection, enjoy the beer selection, enjoy the music you crank on the road, and yes enjoy the fishing; but, understand the great combination of things that make this the best sport on earth!

I want to focus on one of those criteria, the tunes......

Most times for me and my buddies, it comes in phases; starting softer, getting much louder. Bluegrass to heavy medal; coffee to pounding Rockstars and Red Bulls......However there is one CD out there I feel every angler can throw down on their playlist, and that is the tunes from Ben Winship and David Thompson. These guys can straight throw down some fishing lyrics, especially on their newest album, properly titled, Fishing Music II. Bluegrass has its place in every river trip playlist, and this one just kicks it up a notch into our special niche. So before you blast the Beastie Boys or Pepper throw a little of this through the deck........
