A little video.
My friend Nate shot this video on a recent fishing trip. I love the music!
Fish Local

I don’t know where I first heard the concept of “think globally,fish locally”, but what I do know is that at the time I was doing a lot of travelling for my trout fishing.
“Fishing guide lives a good life”
By: Sam Cook, Duluth News Tribune
When Tim Pearson was a young boy, he saw a television program about fly fishing on Alaska’s Copper River. Already an avid angler and North Shore steelheader, Pearson was deeply stirred by what he watched that day.
“I said, ‘I want to be there,’ ” Pearson told a gathering of the Arrowhead Fly Fishers on Tuesday evening. “I said, ‘I’m going to be there.’ ”

Minnesota Bound #538
“On this week’s show, we meet an artist with a passion for Lake Superior’s Steelhead. He’s a fisherman with an artistic touch! We learn about a unique sucker fishing tournament in the town of Rushford, Minnesota. We also tag along on a spring mushroom treasure hunt, and our signature story documents the amazing comeback of the Minnesota wild turkey population. “
Gear Review: Scientific Anglers Skagit Extreme Intermediate Head
One thing that I’m going to start doing is gear reviews on products I really enjoy. One such product is Scientific Angler’s Skagit Extreme Intermediate Head. I was lucky enough to fish one of the prototypes last year. I fished Great Lakes steelhead and even brought the Skagit X to Alaska with me.

ON THE NORTH SHORE — On Thursday Tim Pearson and I were driving north, passing closed campgrounds and lake cabins still boarded for the winter. Patchy snow bracketed Highway 61 and deer fed on bare spots, happy that winter appeared soon over. In the back seat were a couple of fly rods — 12-foot, two-handed spey rods — and we were talking fish, steelhead in particular.
Alongside us, Lake Superior lay flat and blue all the way to the horizon, with car-sized chunks of ice undulating in the freezing water near shore.
Pearson, 28, was trained as a wildlife biologist, graduating from the University of Minnesota Duluth, just down the road. For a while he worked in Alaska, along the Arctic Ocean, banding eiders and long-tailed ducks for the U.S. Geological Survey. “It was good,” Pearson said, “but I’m not sure the biology end of it is what I want to do.”
A chickadee study and the race against time.
The thermometer read 15 below zero this morning. I made sure the bird feeders were full and I started a fire in the studio. As the studio gained heat I made some tea and watched the birds start to role in. The sun began to rise, lightening my backyard in a soft orange. I went to put one more log on the fire and noticed a chickadee basking in the sun in front of one of my feeders. It reminded me that the smallest amount of sunlight holds great power even in this cold.
