About the guide

Who writes this, how we test advice, and what it covers.

Fishing net, rod, tackle box and notebooks on a dock

Why we started

Anglers sharing what actually works

We kept swapping tips after every trip to the lake and eventually stopped pretending that was just talk. The first guide went to a handful of fishing friends.

How a guide gets written

Caught first, written second

Every technique starts with a real catch and is verified by someone who has landed fish using it. Advice that doesn't hold up on the water doesn't stay in.

How we work

Three rules we hold to

Only what we've seen

Nothing gets described unless one of us has cast for it or watched it happen.

Share what failed

The slow mornings and lost fish stay in. They teach you more than the successes.

Corrections in the open

Mistakes get fixed in the guide, with a note on what we learned.

Two new entries a month, nothing else

One deep technique breakdown and one short fishing note, posted when we publish.
