Calvary Outfitters - Tips for January

Here's a new little service we hope to provide monthly - 3 tips to save money, increase your fishing pleasure, elucidate your mind or just plain confound.

The tips for January 2009 are:

1. Big Y Flies http://www.bigyflyco.com/ is offering 10% off to all Tennessee residents the month of January. Just type in TN in the promotion code. I just ordered some streamers and zonkers and was well pleased with the quality and got the order in about 3 days.

2. TU on TV. "On the Rise", the Trout Unlimited supported fly-fishing show is back on the Outdoor Channel (270 on local comcast I think). Great show and rumor has it they were in Arkansas on the White and Little Red and caught a beast.

3. TU in the Boro' - we've been working with the Cumberland Chapter of Trout Unlimited and they are going to hold their February meeting here in Murfreesboro - more details to follow.

Calvary Outfitters - Fishing Report - Blake Morgan


Mark Roberts and I (Blake Morgan) took a half-day drift boat trip down the Caney Fork from the dam to Happy Hollow this past Saturday. It was a beautiful day and no one was out. I caught the biggest couple of fish for my own personal record! I reeled in three browns (17", 16", and 14") and a brookie that was about 10". The 17" looked big, until a trout almost twice as big cruised by as I was bringing him in. Mark steered the boat, but was able to catch 3 rainbows, with the biggest being around 14". So together we were able to achieve the grand slam. It was a great day!
