When isn’t as important as what
The true mark of a relaxed mind is losing track of the days.
Guide your own attitude
Last Wednesday I awoke and saw two of my Tucson buddies casting into the river in the semi-bright pre-dawn light.
Yasiel Puig might make All-Star game fun again
Bruce Bochy wasn't willing to go with the small sampling size and make Yasiel Puig an All-Star, though he might have been tempted to change his mind after watching the rookie sensation do a little bit of everything in helping the Dodgers to a win Sunday in San Francisco.
Collecting more tackle than needed
Last night I was sent to the store to pick up some items that we needed at home. Out of the 10 items I purchased, I ended up finding four of them once I started to put my newly-purchased items away.
Dwight Howard, yes, but how about Collins?
The Los Angeles Lakers want Dwight Howard so badly they put up billboards urging him to stay in town, then got Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash to get on bended knee before him.
Reunion of Wildcats on Alaskan river
When planning an Alaska itinerary for college friends, it is important to consider things like safety.
A newfound appreciation for fly fishing
Coming home from a camping trip is never easy.
Plenty of fish in sea to go around for tourists, sea lions
The first time I fished with Rob Jackson was close to a decade ago.
Rain? Who cares, it’s grayling time
When working out an itinerary for mom's retirement trip to Fairbanks and surrounding areas, I had to fit in a float on the Chena River for Arctic grayling. Naturally, a very late ice break up and torrential rains had the Chena swollen to the point the guide called to say the float was in serious jeopardy. I had never fished the area I had no clue what I'd do if the float didn't happen. If the Chena was blown out, then everything else might be unfishable too.
Going to school on fish with aquarium
Five years ago I purchased a 75-gallon fish tank from someone selling it on Craigslist.

The weather has been uncharacteristic for the month of May - lots of wind and cooler temperatures for this time of year.
Eagles, Big Foot and bears, oh my!

Old PE teacher reminds Ballardo about fly fishing
There are many ways to catch a fish. Yesterday while doing some grocery shopping I ran into my high school physical education teacher, coach Gebhart. He reminded me of a way of catching fish that I've never really gotten into. Coach Gebhart likes to fly fish just as much as he likes to golf. I have a fly rod, which is 27 years old and has sat collecting dust for the past 20 years. I know how old it is because that's what I asked for on my 13th birthday. I'm not sure what condition it's ...

Put your money where your heart is
About 15 years ago my friend Joe Mangelos gave me a free ticket to attend a fund raising banquet for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. When I got to the dinner, I was feeling kind of guilty, so I bought some raffle tickets. Darned if I didn't win a brand new 30-06 rifle! I was hooked even though I've never been elk hunting, every year since I make it a point to attend the Elk Foundation Banquet.
