For nearly 250 years Americans have fought to gain or maintain the ground of liberty. For the first handful of conflicts that our nation faced, men laid down their lives inch after inch with the prospect of a freedom long in the distance. In our lifetimes, and the lifetimes of our fathers and grandfathers, men …
Book review videos have become a weekly feature of Casting Across. The goal is to share fly fishing books with my audience, exposing you to titles known and unknown; old and new. It has been a lot of fun to put them together and send them all over the world via YouTube. Today I’m asking …
Over the life of Casting Across, I’ve posted various retrospectives at the end of the year. We’re naturally creatures that invest a lot of meaning in taking down an old calendar and putting up a new one. (Side note: What is with the tiny format this year, TU?) This year’s focus is on what I’ve …
I write and I talk. That is what Casting Across is. I don’t dive into data, calculate SEO strategies, or find ways to push my content. I write. And I talk. Perhaps that is short-sighted and limits my exposure. Perhaps not. Either way, it is what it is. But once a year I do purposefully …

Thank you. Why? Well, you’re reading this article on this website. And while I’d be writing something, somewhere if I weren’t creating content for Casting Across, I’ve been doing this for the past eight years because you are reading this. Over 1,250 posts and I don’t have plans on stopping anytime soon. In fact, I …
We flew in during a thunderstorm. Layovers and small-engine craft made the segments of the trip feel like puzzle pieces that didn’t quite fit. Travel can often feel like a chore. At times it has more of a trial feel. The early darkness from the late summer storm took away the sense of place from …
Big picture, generally speaking: 2022 wasn’t that great. Look at the news, the economy, and the overall temperature of our culture. We’re in dire need of a fix.
