Amanda Watts CNN 3:06 p.m. EDT, September 26, 2012 (CNN) — It’s a fish tale almost impossible to believe. A fisherman found a human finger in the belly of a trout caught in a remote northern Idaho lake. And detectives located the owner, who delivered a surprising message. Despite the hard work of investigators, Haans [...]

Fishing With Kids I had a bit of a revelation this last week.  It was an interesting sequence of events that made me realize a few things about kids and fishing. Here’s what happened. First a little history:  I grew up with a passion for fishing.  I spent time fishing the Teton River, Both forks [...]

Jose Wejebe I saw a storm of posts Friday afternoon regarding the passing of Jose Wejebe.  The angling world lost a great ambassador for the sport.  I never personally knew Jose, but I did see episodes of his series Spanish Fly.   We at the frenzy want to add our condolences to the family and friends [...]

Carp Fishing Our thoughts definitely go out to the good people of Tennessee and we wish them all the best. As I was reading about the flooding, I did find this video on CNN of one gentleman in Tennessee noodling a large carp. This might be large for the US, but our frenziers in Europe [...]

I remember when I was younger a story about fish that were caught in the Snake River in Idaho that were so big that people used horses to help pull the fish in.  That fish was the prehistoric Sturgeon. Since then, I have heard that the Sturgeon has become endangered so when I read stories [...]

My one buddy, whose parents live part time in Salmon, pointed to some caves along the highway and said that a nomad/cave dweller lived there.   Not [...]

My uncle Daren was with my Dad the first time he caught a fish on the fly.  A short time after that he wrote down the experience.  After we went fishing last week he sent it to me.  I had never read it before and not to be to emotional but I did cry reading [...]

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University .. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.

This past week I was up in Missoula on business and of course had my fly rod and gear just in case I had time to hit anyone of the amazing waters there. I did have my heart set on fly fishing Rock Creek in Montana due to the fact that over the past year [...]

Two fellow Frenziers Dave Hancey and Travis “Dr” Gillespie just recently went down to AZ to hit Lees Ferry.  This article was taken from Dr. Gillespie’s Xstream Outdoors blog.

Taken from the Billings Gazette online Jay Buchner’s hands, worn from decades of fly-fishing, work carefully and methodically around the silver vise in front of him. The contrast between the tiny fly on the stand and his large hands seems almost comical, yet Buchner’s dexterity makes up for the difference. Grasping several feather tips with [...]
