Now that the article is finally out, I can release these shots. Some of them have been in the photoblog before but not together like this. This was from a trip in summer 2010 that I took with my cousin Jake Campbell and my buddy Carter McLeod. They were super patient and helpful and I just really appreciated all their hard work and effort. It was hot and the fishing for browns was slow but they went to a lot of trouble to help get some cool spread shots for the article.
Pick up your most recent copy of Fly Fisherman and you can get the piece; I am proud of this one and think it’s one of the best articles I’ve ever written. Getting permission to use the Running Razorback was one of the coolest processes I will ever go through. Clay Henry, the editor of Hawgs Illustrated magazine and a big fly fisher, was instrumental in helping my request get all the way to the Athletic Director’s desk… and it just so happens he’s a fly fisher. AD Jeff Long cut through the red tape and made this possible and I find that extremely cool.

There’s nothing quit like a good ole southern tailwater bath to drop the core temps on a hot summer day.
My first fly fishing adventure was on the White River. What a great place to fish.
Seeing the fog on the river there is just something magical. I could never capture the way it really looks on film. I’ve seen it look like the entire river was covered in a thick white blanket with swirls of cloud rolling up and swelling over the water. Then I snap a photo and the fog looks so thin. – YOu get in the boat and can’t see more than 30 feet in front of you and you listen for other boat motors as you make way up the river so you don’t hit other boats. You post a lookout in the front of the boat so you don’t hit any obstacles. I’ve never seen anything like it anywhere else.
My favorite photo is the last one in the line-up.
If I lived anywhere near a tailwater or river big enough to buy a drift boat, I’d buy one in a second!
