Happy Holidays!
Fly Fishing in Salt Waters roosterfish feature 2012 was a great year filled with lots of photo-ops. As I tally up the columns I’m also happy to find another decent up-tick in sales. That’s three years running so maybe I’m some sort of lagging indicator of a stronger economy. Thanks to all of you who license my [...]
Custom Photo Notecards
In my ongoing quest to shelter you from virulent escalator handrails and surly mall Santas, here’s another holiday gift idea that you won’t find in stores. Note: Christmas orders should be placed before December 14th to ensure delivery without expedited shipping. Choose From Thousands of Images Notecards are available from any image in my [...]
Tosh’s 2013 Wall Calendar
So this year I decided to produce a wall calendar with a collection of favorite scenes from hither and yon: hunting, fishing, critters, destinations, and people. My plan was to have this ready to ship in October, but selecting a few images from many many thousands of images, took a bit more time than I [...]
That’s Terrific Bass!
It’s the main drag on the UT campus, an iconic peak in West Texas, a virginal image worshipped by the Catholic Church, and a plucky little bass that only lives in a handful of Central Texas rivers. We can all agree on the spelling, but pronunciation is all over the map. Texan | Gwa-duh-loop Texican [...]
Private Photo Assignments
Recently I’ve been booking a few private assignment shoots for folks that want a unique and lasting record of a special gathering of friends, clients, or family. I’m offering that program again this fall and here’s how it typically works: You schedule a cool event or trip that involves hunting, fishing, or outdoor activities I [...]
Rain Makes Bass
What a difference a year makes. By this point last spring we had gone nearly three months without measurable rain and most Texas rivers were dropping fast. By June we were well into the “drought of record” and by September a good portion of the state was on fire. In my 47 years I’ve never [...]
Huckin’ Meat
For a lot of years I held onto the notion that the overstuffed brown trout in Arkansas’ White River were only catchable with wispy 14-foot leaders and flies too small for those with sausage fingers and failing eyesight. Enter Steve Dally, the Tasmanian transplant guide and fly shop owner who is promoting an entirely different [...]
Happy Holidays!
Rainbow goodness: American Angler magazine Hey Folks – Another year is winding down and I’d like to thank all of the companies that license my stock images and hire me to go to cool places and frame scenes and punch buttons. 2011 has been a good year and I’m hoping that our collective climb from the [...]
Maashkinoozhe
That’s how he was tagged eons ago by the first Ojibwa native that tangled with him. Loosely translated, maashkinoozhe means “ugly pike”. The French came along later and called him masquinongé which, for all we know, means “giant fish that kicked our asses.” Personally, I think “ugly” is a bit unfair. After several hundred [...]
A Place That Wasn’t Hot
I can’t remember a time when I was more excited to leave my ‘hood. After 47 days over 100, this summer, I looked out the window on July 29 and thumbed my nose at pan-fried Austin as my flight headed north toward cooler climes. Turns out, however, that my destination was having a few weather [...]
Ode to a Trusty Yaller Box
Casco Bay, Maine: he was more than just a camera box… This is a sad day for me; a day that I’ve dreaded for quite some time. His rusted wheels have slowed him down for the past couple of years, especially on long airport hikes. Too many days in saltwater, no doubt, and lately [...]
The 2010 Holiday Grab Bag
Instead of showing you some cool new stuff that I shot in November (which I don’t have, because I was playing hooky in a deer blind) I’m now going to shift gears and thank the folks that have allowed me to perpetuate my twenty-five-year existence without cubicles, neckties, or shiny shoes. So, without further adieu, [...]
Graduate School
I suppose my son, Blake, was about 10-years-old when it became obvious that he was choosing fishing and hunting over skateboarding and Xbox. When he reached middle school I decided to dangle the carrot that would hopefully keep him on point. I promised him that if he made good grades, kept his nose clean, and [...]
A Delicious Bass
After one of the coldest Texas winters I can remember, it was nice to get out last week and sling flies on a warm, muggy day. The newspaper said that the greenies were up shallow on Lake Bastrop, and that’s exactly how we found them. Since hungry, jumping largemouths don’t really need much in the [...]
