Monday Morning and I’m ...
Not Calling Any Shots Babe Ruth called it during the World Series in 1932. With two strikes on him, against the Chicago Cubs, Ruth pointed and put it there – deep center field and over the fence. There are not that many chances to call it when we fly fish, and if we do, we run the risk of jinxing it because … that’s how a lot of fly guys think. Admit it. With this religion comes a sizable dose…

The Wholistic Fly Fisher
Aging in Spurts I am not above calling in air support, YouTube on Air Support that is! This video hits me where I was when I was making my bike video, but there are hundreds of videos like THIS one that really nail down the aging process, when it happens and what it is doing to us, we who are aging … and that is all of us! I thought is take on the social demands and those years in our lives when…
Monday Morning Hammer Time
Time to Put Down That Hammer! I knew it was time to quit my bricking late yesterday when my timing went away, and I pounded a pointer finger into a small puddle of blood. Despite wearing gloves as always, and having my rhythm down for placing pavers … the edge of that finger just didn’t move fast enough. It’s funny when our body starts talking isn’t it? Sometimes we don’t listen until we’re…
The Wholistic Benefits of Bicycling for Fly Fishers
Cross-Train For Better and Longer Days on the Water Fly fishing has always been about more than catching fish. It’s about rhythm, patience, presence, and a deep connection to nature. But what if another activity could strengthen those same qualities, while also improving your overall health and longevity? That’s where cycling comes in. Bicycling — whether on a road bike, gravel bike, or simple…
Prop Scars
Today is the day! I finally found a worthy prop for my prop scar, so the tattoo gun is warming up as I write this … I will keep you posted, and maybe even throw in a photo or two of the event. A new video is under construction this morning – about my rando trip to Latham Springs Resort. That will be public later on today, so visit the YouTube Channel. If you go to that much trouble? go ahead and…
Wholistic Coffee Blues
Wholistic Wednesday – Have a Cup or TWO This day started off like most. I started by getting the Breville coffee maker ready to brew, and inside I found a broken part and the spray nozzle buried in yesterday’s grind. Trouble in paradise is all I thought to say to myself in the predawn darkness. Nothing was rising to sip on top, except my heartbeat, and it wasn’t “sipping.” My coffee awareness…
The Unbroken String
What We Have Here Monday mornings make a pretty long and strong string when I do my best to put about fifty of them a year together here on the Monday Morning Sidewalk. Some of them are better and some of them are worse than others. In the end, they are just a string. The Reckoning I have arrived at a place, literally a geographic “place” where the lake in my backyard has gone stale. Or maybe…
Sad News To Report
Larry Haines Passes Away Friday September 5, 2025 News just reached me that artist and fly fisher Larry Haines has passed away. He is one of those people we appreciated when he was here, and now that he has left us, I wish him, his family, friends and everyone who cared about Larry – peace and fond memories. It was one fantastic piece of luck that I had a few hours with Larry when I was working…
OK. BREAKING FLY FISHING NEWS NOW
Oklahoma OWDC Goes Big Brother If you fly fish in Oklahoma, and live in Texas, the rules have changed for Texans. And they have changed for anyone from out-of-State Oklahoma who hunts, fishes or even goes into almost all areas the State has under the purview of Oklahoma Wildlife Department of Conservation (OWDC). This new rule also applies to Oklahoma residents. A SIDE NOTE FIRST: I immediately…
Get Your Waders Out!
Weather Pattern Takes a Turn for the Wetter (AGAIN!) How about a swirl of a Pacific hurricane passing over some of Texas? These are the strange days, aren’t they? Cold in the east, a Baja bound Pacific hurricane that holds together long enough to cross Texas … stay tuned, and be sure to watch/listen on YouTube at MaxVelocity. This kind of weather reporting IS the future of weather reporting.…
Friday Night Live Fly Talk Show - Sunday Rerun
The lights were on, and I showed up … but it was a conversation with one. That’s okay, because if you ever check in on one of my live Friday Night Fly Shows, IF YOUR time is ever so clear, you will know I have a good supply of topics to talk about. And the great majority of those topics are absolutely positively fly fishing related!
Flip Pallot Unexpectedly Passes Away
It was a shocker, but when each of us get to our own individual “certain age,” nothing much is a shocker anymore. So, depending on your age, reactions of surprise will vary when the news of Phillip “Flip” Pallot’s unexpected death while in surgery earlier this week. At 82-years-old, that is a life, and one that appears to have been used well and to the full extent allowed by law! Meeting The…
Fire and Rain
August Cold Front … In Texas? I have called the new Texas weather patterns predictable, that is predictably unpredictable. We’re not talking the old saying, “If you don’t like the weather in Texas, wait a minute …” unpredictable. We’re talking fire and rain unpredictable. And now that I have lobbed the first round, more like a slow moving black powder ball, we have further evidence of this…
Monday Morning and ...
Who Let the Cat Out? So far, so good. While I always overestimate my video and writing reach, in times like this the lower readership and few eyeballs-on maybe, just may be a blessing in disguise. In case you actually got away from the digital world after work last Friday, and turned off and tuned out, here’s what happened. I “liter lly” as the mainstream media likes to say, fumbled my way…
Friday Night Live Fly Fishing Talk - Replay
Topic loaded, and firing away is about the only way to describe my live outing two nights ago. I was using the “Go Live” feature on YouTube, a feature that is still technically edgy and can be flaky at times. And we certainly got off to a flaky start that includes pouring water all over myself and fumbling around trying to figure out the controls – with a lot of help from the MMI Crew of…
Thursday Fly Chat News: Fly Fishing Trends Across Texas
PUBLISHER NOTE: This post is a ChatGPT story I generated earlier this week. Some of it is timed point-blank, and some of it looks ahead. There are going to be more of these informational “Fly Chats” that I hope will help you find fish, and social activities to plug yourself into! We could all use a little “plugging-in” these days, right? What’s Trending Among Texas Fly Fishers 1. Digital…
The Journey is the Destination
Yes, But … I thought it would be interesting to spend a little time in our heads, and out of our bodies this morning. Even though this is another “Wholistic Wednesday,” I wanted to test Chat’s ability to find the nuances we have already found – and those of you who are new to fly fishing will come to find – on “traveling 300-miles to a river to fly fish,” and arriving at out destination. I…
