If you’ve never taken the time to read this department from start to finish, I beg you to do it this time, just this once, before you turn the page to read all about the intellectuals featured in this month’s Hall of Shame. I’m pleading with you because one of America’s 100 Best Trout Streams…
Ahh January; synonymous with short days, long nights and cold water. But by the end of January the days are getting noticeably longer and we’re over the hump. It’s a wonderful time to get on THE RIVER and treat your “cabin fever,” walk off some holiday calories, enjoy the solitude of the backcountry, study critter…

Cold weather and cold water make many bass fishermen stay home this time of year. That is one reason you should be on the lake. You will have much less competition from other fishermen and pleasure boaters are almost non-existent. Best of all, you can catch bass, especially if you choose a lake like Bartletts Ferry.…
Last May, B.A.S.S. anglers Davy Hite and Kevin VanDam were talking after the day-two weigh-in of Bassmaster’s Elite Series tournament on Clarks Hill. Davy had weighed-in back-to-back 20-lb. sacks, and all Kevin had after day two was a pair of 10-lb. bags. Kevin wanted to know just what in the heck Davy was throwing to…
