Gear: Things we DON'T want this Father's Day

River's Edge Fly Fishing Toilet Seat

$64.87 from Amazon.com gets you a Lucite toilet seat with various fishing flies embedded within. It's all fun and games until some desperate angler with an empty fly box starts chipping Mickey Finns out of your throne.

Happy Father's Day

to my dad, Rev. Homer Murdock. In Dad's "spare" time he travels the world and has touched lives in numerous countries around the globe. His work often focuses on children, and always focuses on feeding, clothing, housing, and healing people. His latest ventures take him to Africa where Touch The World Ministries is actively working in villages where almost every household has been ravaged by AIDS. Obviously, I am very proud to call him my Pop.

Dads & Sons

Happy Father's Day to all of us fly fishing Dads and Sons. I wanted to show you two of my favorite photos. The first picture (a bit fuzzy due to a camera dunking) is of my Dad. He is a full time Baptist minister who both pastors a church and heads up Touch the World Ministries. Had he not been called to become "a man of the cloth" I am quite certain he would have been a CEO, famous explorer / adventurer, or had he been born a few decades later quite possibly and extreme athlete. Dad regularly visits locations such as Africa, Eastern Europe, and Haiti and has been able to make a difference in literally hundreds of thousands of lives in the third world. He is most certainly the hardest working person I have ever met.

The second photo is of my 15 year old Son. He is a great kid who has excellent taste in music, plays the bass guitar, and is never too cool to spend a day on the creek bank with his decidedly un-hip Father. This photo shows him decked out in his best rock and roll fly fishing garb on a day where the temps were hovering around the five degree mark. He recently started a blog and was nice enough to provide a link to FlyfishMagazine.com.

I am proud to be related to both of them!

Dad's Day...

is just around the corner. Sure he might have conned you into spending that entire summer digging out a dirt bank in the back yard so he could build you " a mondo-cool club house / tool shed" but he did teach you everything you know about fishing. Time to go shopping!

Also we wish to point out that if it is a purveyor of fine mondo-cool bug throwing apparel that you seek, check out our pals at reel pure. They have great one of a kind gear and a fly fishing attitude to match.
