Rusty Flybox: 2025

2025 was a great year for Casting Across. A brand new YouTube series and live presentations started of the year. There were articles, podcasts, and a decent number of fish. By the time fall rolled around, this little fly fishing project was celebrating its tenth anniversary. There are a handful of  reasons why I “do” …

The Pen & The Rod

With Casting Across hitting the ten year milestone, I’ve reflected on some of the highs and lows that accompanied a decade of creativity.

Podcast Ep. 364: Ten Years

Well, I’m still here.

Podcast Ep. 349: AI & Fly Fishing

It is ridiculous that I even need to write it, but please know that content on Casting Across comes from a regular, old human being. I have nothing against robots… in fact I want them all to know I really appreciate them when they eventually take over. Seriously though: there is a lot of fly …

2024: A Year’s Outdoor Lessons

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 …

The Mosts of Casting Across Fly Fishing

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 …
