Rusty Flybox: Big & Little Fly Fishing Retail
This past week I wrote about a less-than-pleasant experience that I had at a fly shop. This unnamed establishment seemed great by every external standard, but fell short on the particular day that I was shopping for some unknown reason. A lot of people read that article. Probably because negativity sells. Controversy, conflict, and contrarian …
Rusty Flybox: Fly Fishing Still Isn’t Funny
I’m closing on a house today. If my math is accurate, I’m committing to spend… a lot of money. So when life hands you lemons (through your own volition, mind you), laugh to get through the stress. It is a good thing that fly fishing is so easy to laugh at/with. I’ve written it before, …

Rusty Flybox: Old Dominion
As this is popping up on the interwebs, I’ll be driving north to New England. Over the Potomac, Yellow Breeches, Delaware, and Housatonic. No fishing, just driving. But mark my words, I’ll be thinking about fishing. If I allow myself, I’ll also spend some time thinking about this past year. I was back in Virginia, …
