A day and a fish worthy of a salmon carved out of reclaimed redwood.

Photos and reflections from a trip to the Lake District England, where I had a great two days with Mike Tinnion.

The Beulah G2 Platinum Spey 13’8″ 6 piece — it’s a great rod, but it’s not for everybody. I share my full thoughts.

To kick us off, we talk about two recent favorites: the Grundens Downrigger GORE-TEX Bibs — a seriously good piece of kit — and one of our absolute favorite New England beers, Bissell Brothers Substance.

It was the perfect night: warm, but not too warm, the setting sun turning the sky progressive shades of purple, pink, and dark, inky blue. The striped bass were out in Boston, and my friends were along the ride.

I’ve been tying on the HMH TRV vise for a while now, and I love it. Check out my full video review and some photos.
