The current edition of Fish Alaska Magazine features one handsome devil on the cover…well…me! The magazine sent me to Juneau, AK this past summer to do a couple stories, both of which appear in the December issue, which you can obtain at:
www.fishalaskamagazine.com
Of course, I’ve also got a cool photo essay on steelhead fishing in Britich Columbia in the December issue of Salmon Trout Steelheader Magazine and another on the essence of the addiction of steelheading in the January issue. Of course, my tips column apppears in that mag every month. For more info, long onto:

I’ve also got lots of cool stuff coming out in Western Outdoors Magazine over the next few issues — features plus my regular Dateline West Stuff and my new monthly Angling column. Check it out!

Okay Big Fred Contaoi fans, here’s the latest update on our favorite pro basser…
Fred arrived in New York today and picked up his new Ranger bass boat and jersey (see the pic, which he took with his phone and sent to me while en route). Next stop, a meeting with the Orange County Choppers gang and then, I believe, he starts filming his first episode of American Chopper tomorrow.
