So is there truth to the idea that a full moon is bad for fishing? Some great fishermen believe that the days around the full moon are sometimes good, but most believe the days of a full moon mean that the fish feed all night and don’t bite during the day. Personally, I think that…
It amazing to see the effect of one player on a football team. Unfortunately, you can only really see the effect when they are gone. There is nothing bad about Vernon Adams, and Jeff Lockie, its just they cant’t make the fast paced Oregon offense work. We have the receivers and the running backs…

My three favorite college teams managed a “W” on the first day of college football this year. This could be a very fun college football year. With Marcus Mariotta gone from Oregon, I was skeptical that the Ducks could continue to dominate preseason football. I still haven’t fully recovered from the national championship loss to…
The idea of catching a 30 inch plus has always been slightly beyond my expectations . I have a hard enough time catching 25-28 inch fish. The prospect of catching a “yard long” trout is reserved for my first trip to Kamchatka, Jurassic Lake or Alaska. I knew that there were fish that size in…
