3 New Blogs Worth Viewing


I am always discovering new blogs; some I really like and some I don’t have a lot in common with. I few things that look for in a good blog are short post and to the point, a topic that will get my attention and last but not least are fantastic images. I recently added these three new blogs to my roll:



Brookfield Angler—this is really a great blog dealing with everything fishing from the boat, to the reels and rods. I especially enjoy his post dealing with warm water fishing. The links on this blog are interesting as well, dealing with Product Reviews, Fish Links and even Fish Porn. This one is well worth viewing!!



Devinfishingreport---This young man reminds me of myself when I was his age. Devin is a fish enthusiast; at 15 years old his knowledge of fishing is amazing. All the information he post on his blog is useful and very informative. This is another blog that deals with warm water fishing as well as cold water fishing. I really like his take on his warm water post, especially his crappie post. Check this blog out!!!



Shotguns and Fishing Poles—I feel a kind of kindred spirit here with this blog and its author. I use to be an avid Quail hunter, and Ricky has posted some great topics dealing with Quail hunting. I really got into his post on his first Quail hunt. I get the feel that Ricky is in the same lane as me when it comes to an addiction called fishing. Really a great blog ---check it out!!

The Handy Mini Tippet Ring --Tippet to Leader So EASY!!


Just found something even better than the No Knot Fast Snap. Dave over at FishnDave Blog left a comment on the No Knot Fast Snap Post I did for Monday. He sent me a link dealing with MiniTippet Rings, which is exactly what I am looking for to actually save on leaders. These little rings are even better than the Fast Snap because of the diameter and ease at which you can attach the tippet. These can actually be used with Dry Flies and Midges.  The following is the description of the rings-----Dave said he uses the rings and is sold on them. Thanks to Dave for helping me out here.

Product Overview:
These nickel alloy rings are very small, smooth and seamless connectors between your leader and tippet. Tie one on the end of your leader, then tie the tippet onto the ring These rings make changing or replacing tippet easy without nibbling away at the leader. They really have caught on among competitive fly fishers, because of the speed and ease with which tippet can be changed. May be used on any leader system and are excellent for tying droppers. Though light enough to fish dry flies and midges on 7X tippets, they will handle any load your leader and tippet will bear. Available in the original nickel silver and now in black nickel for use in deep water or low light levels; choose from nominal 2 mm for light to medium leader or 3 mm size for heavy leader and tippet. Made in England, available with 20 or 100 rings per package.
