Twice Shy

Angler Ben Roussel warned us off of his favorite trout water with tales of snakes with a taste for Rainbow Trout. However, he failed to warn us about the hungry turtles. He followed his snake photo with this great photo taken on the same secret trout stream. Just in case the killer turtles don't scare you away, he said we should mention that banjo music can be heard stream side.

Once Bitten

Alabama angler Ben Roussel snapped this remarkable photo on a recent fishing trip to one of his secret fishing holes. He made us promise not to tell you where he was fishing and to remind you that if you do figure it out the place is literally crawling with snakes....and bears.....an panthers etc. Thanks for the photo Ben!

TVAngler.com Site of The Month

The guys from TVAngler.com (North Alabama's finest fishing site) have written nice things about FlyfishMagazine and chosen us as one of their sites of the month! This alone would make them some of our favorite people but we also wish to point out that they have some great essays and some down right beautiful photography on their site. As for us they pretty much described us perfectly:

"To fill the fly fishing escape niche, we have the Fly Fish Magazine Blog. You may have noticed this site recently added to our blogroll. Fly Fish Magazine provides an incredible amount of fly fishing news, with a somewhat loose focus on the Southeast. Sometimes informative, always entertaining, the site is good for at least a half hour of time-wasting each day while vegetating in your cubicle."

Thanks for the mention!
