Let the Woods Humble You
There are so many reasons I love being in the woods and on the water. So many, I don’t know that I could put all of them on paper. There’s something though that I rarely hear about when people talk about their experiences in the woods, and I didn’t start to understand it until IContinue reading “Let the Woods Humble You”

It’s Thursday, and here’s what the Jig Heads had to say this week!

Cheers to Thursday and, of course, to fishing! Another week into July and our jig heads did not disappoint! Joe was able to get out a few times this week on the kayak.

When I Fell in Love
I stumbled across a podcast this week on Instagram called Mindful Hunter. I highly recommend listening to his podcast, and following him on Instagram, especially this particular episode. He interviewed a woman from Texas named Lyndsey Kotrla (give her a follow too!). They talked about something briefly that really stuck with me, and that wasContinue reading “When I Fell in Love”
