"Who Knows How Big It Is?"
THIS WEEK we revisit an essay that feels particularly appropriate for the first sweltering days of August. "Madness and Big Bluegill" records Chester Allen's obsession with summertime bluegill fishing, and with the mystery of farm ponds. "So, for most of the summer, I’ve been trying to catch the biggest bluegill in this pond. I mean, who knows how big it is?"
INSIDE THE BOX: EPISODE #88 - Scott unboxes Umpqua's versatile ZS2 Wader Tote Bag, which costs only $99.99 and offers ventilated storage for the wet stuff.
Tim Flagler demonstrates how to tie an Extended Body Isonychia Parachute in this week's featured tying video. "I can’t get enough of extended body flies," he says. "They’re fun to tie, look incredibly realistic and fish just great. They may take a little longer to tie but I believe they’re totally worth the extra effort."
