Mission

A personal quest to catch a grand slam turns into an "absurd goal" to make a film about catching tarpon, permit and bonefish on the fly in one day from the waters around Key West, Fl. This is the long version of what was entered in the Drake Magazine Video Awards 2011.

Innovation

I'm off to Outdoor Retailer to continue work on 12wt. projects. OR is not typically thought of as the fly fishing show but it's the best place to see the widest swath of people and business that can help you innovate. As I was packing I thought of posting something that conveyed a sense of innovation. The wheels began turning and I landed on this image. Identify the person in the photo by the time I get back (8/6 at midnight). Correct answers will go into a random Way Upstream drawing. The lucky winner will get something cool (TBD).

Chicago Carp

Godzilla took Tokyo. King Kong took New York City. Now a new monster is staking its claim on Chicago! This is not just another average fish tale. Similar to JAWS, this story portrays a man-eater beneath the surface and simply staying out of the water is not going to keep the citizens safe. This monster carp is the size of a city bus and is almost as comfortable on land as it is in the water. Check out the one minute trailer and visit chicagocarp.com to learn more about this potential indie epic.

Whales Upstream

Here's a Gray Whale and her calf, in the lower Klamath River, roughly 3 miles upstream of the mouth of the river. They have been in the river for over a week, and may stay much longer.

In 1989, a mother and calf came in and spent most of the summer in the Lower Klamath Estuary (closer to the mouth). The whale was in fresh water for the summer months, and was observed going in and out until March of 1990. They were observed feeding on the tube-dwelling amphipod, Corophium spinicorne (which live on the surface of the gravel riverbed).

It turns out these whales were the first gray whales ever documented to over-summer in California, rather than making the long trip to the Bering Sea in Alaska.

Yurok Elder fishermen, Merk Oliver and Corky Sims remember the whale from 1989, and they named the calf "Bubbles". Could it be that the mother of the 2011 calf is Bubbles from 1989?
