It is always cool to see where Arizona Wanderings’ shirts pop up. Many thanks to Mario for sending over this photo after I saw it on Instagram. Thanks for the support Mario. A few co-workers and I planned a day for some team building at Hunters Creek Club in Metamora, MI.  We spent the day […]

Arizona Fly Fishing: New country

18 Comments

Saturday was a very fine day of fly fishing in Arizona with a good buddy. With mornings being colder, we started late and were on the water by 9. Fish started coming throughout the day on mini-hoppers and parachute Adams, although bigger streamers did the trick later on in the day. Tough to ask for […]

Rambling Review – Mountainsmith Day TLS Lumbar Pack Why: As most outdoorsman do, I am constantly tinkering with different bags/vests/ packs that I take into the field in search of that perfect system to carry all the “neccessary” gear for the day.

Arizona Fly Fishing: Cold Mornings

14 Comments

Saturday morning dawned frigidly cold in the north country. We sat huddled in the truck looking at the 29 degree mark (a cold temperature for Arizona boys) that blinked on the dashboard of the truck, and we thought twice about our decision. In the end there was no way we were turning around, so we geared up, put […]

Arizona Quail Hunting: Redemption

I talked my hunting buddy, Austin, into skipping out on the first part of work to join me for a sweat-dripping walk through the desert in search of Arizona Gambel’s quail. After the first day of quail hunting, my hopes were very low, but with the chance to check out a new spot, I was […]
