@WilliamsonNFL Great stuff, Matt. Is there any chart that shows the actual routes run? Basically, are the opportunities there for our QB's to throw over the middle, and they just check it down? Or is Pittsburgh pretty shy about running routes between the numbers?

This one's important. https://t.co/Qo3mzJS5kV

The Full Pint is an articulated streamer that finds hungry trout, with just the right mix of subtlety, size contrast and movement.

Ahh, the strip set. Nothing’s been beaten into the streamer angler’s brain more than the necessity for a good STRIP to set the hook. Never set with the rod. Right? Oh my, no. Never do that. Wait a minute . . .

Slack permits a moment of helplessness to a streamer that contact cannot precisely duplicate. The effect is simply greater without tension on the line, if only for an instant.

“Let’s go somewhere a little different today,” I said to him.

So at the bottom of the driveway I turned left instead of right. Then at the bridge a few minutes later, I headed upstream instead of down.

He’s eight years old. And he's stuck right in the middle of two eras — old enough that the adults aren’t regulating every facet of his life, and yet not quite adept at wielding the freedom of choice. It’s overwhelming sometimes.

Winter fly fishing patterns need to get a trout's attention, but not turn them off. Rigs need to get down in soft or broken water, but with enough finesse to look natural.

A good float is like a filmstrip that you can take out and hold in your mind for a while. It’s a photo album. The river is a flowing film of your best and worst times on the water — moment by moment passing by. #flyfishing #wildtrout
