Schmidt's Walkabouts: July 2012
http://flyfishingwalkabouts.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 16, 2012. Several sandstone spires roughly etched by time stand sentinel over the entrance to a hidden oasis. Entering the confined valley ancient cottonwood, dense willow and abrasive river birch lay drab and bare compared to the lush foliage that we left behind. At first glance we gaze upon a river surprisingly clear its tributaries yet to dilute the streams clarity with spring’s freshets; considering this past arid and mild winter that may never happen.

Schmidt's Walkabouts: February 2012
http://flyfishingwalkabouts.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Recently I took a tour through a manufacturing plant that is regarded as a world leader in fly rod innovation, technology and design, Sage. Unlike the growing number of fly rod manufacturing companies that produce their fly rods overseas, they choose to make all their rods in the. Before taking the ferry from. On the ferry we sat with several of Sage’s IT crew admiring their latest web-site that recently launched. Already my convictions that much has changed in thi...Daily v...

Schmidt's Walkabouts: Rivers of Change
http://flyfishingwalkabouts.blogspot.com/2012/10/rivers-of-change.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2012. In the west dories are the preferred means of transportation when fly-fishing for trout on waters that accommodate them. What’s a Salmon Fly hatch without a flotilla of drift boats floating downstream after them? Always an option, but when they are I'll take a quiet slow row down a river over the noise, smell and hectic pace motor boats lend to any steelhead day. Peaceful semblance of compatible flyfishers at times now resembles a frantic race from run to run. Y fish you catch,...

Schmidt's Walkabouts: March 2015
http://flyfishingwalkabouts.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 06, 2015. He other day I got a call from Jim Vincent; one of this industries more innovative personalities, a great stick regardless of species, and at one time a prolific writer. Fortuitously I had him queued up for my next Throwback article after I came across this photo I took of him bowing while fast to a pissed off tarpon. He sold the company a decade ago, yet he still helps them pursue perfection when it comes to the products that RIO offers. That is, however. Jim and I hit it off .

Schmidt's Walkabouts: The Hat
http://flyfishingwalkabouts.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-hat.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. If you fish you have hats. Hats for fishing, hats for wearing out, and then there is that growing pile of hats that remind you of place and time you don't want to forget. My old Resistol is one of those hats, one that I still have, yet one that these days just keeps a peg in my house company. Over years of serving me well it's earned that. I remember taking this photo like it was yesterday. It was in the late 80's at the take out below a place we fondly knew as Seaton Camp.
