After a long working weekend finishing the last of my coffee in a unit branded @yeti rambler... haven’t decided how sweet or gross it is one of my kids snuck in an animal cracker into my cup. #dadlife #armydad

22 Too Many

by AirborneAngler on January 21, 2016 at 18:23
Posted In: Reviews, video

Maybe you’ve heard it before and maybe quoting a stat is cliché- but 22 Vets a day is just way too many.  I’m talking about the 22 American Veterans that take their life daily. That’s both sides of the ball on a Friday night high school football game. But not just on Friday, again on Saturday, Sunday and the entire next week again and again.

I want to thank Yeti for showcasing the non-profit organizations like Heros and Horses helping Heros make it home from the wars still waging in their minds. Watch the video above for inspiration, visit their page for info or to donate- then drop Yeti and Heros and Horses a social media thank you with a #ThxYeti180Out and #22vetsaday to show your support.

Veterans, Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines… before you think about tapping out- reach out. Let us help because we want to. Let us help because life IS NOT better without you here. We needed you to answer the call and we need you still. So muster whatever final bit of courage you have left and say something. Talk to your battle buddy, chain of command, spouse, friend, pastor, VA Counselor or call a hotline. So many people want to help there’s too many to list.

“It’s the struggle in life that gives things value…” 180 Out.

See you on the high ground before Valhalla,
AirborneAngler

Hold Me Closer

by AirborneAngler on January 19, 2016 at 18:50
Posted In: Fly Fishing

Giving the bug chucking trainers at All Water Guides (Austin, Texas) a thumbs up on track selection and hook ups for this mini flick out on the Guadalupe River. Seems like it was uploaded a year ago but it’s still a sick track and troutalicious. Definitely worth the share. 

Humming to myself now, “hold me closer so I can’t breathe… tell me your story…” 

You’ll see. And good luck getting it out of your head. 

See you on the high ground,

Howler Waxed Canvas

by AirborneAngler on October 31, 2015 at 22:10
Posted In: Reviews

This amazing cover came in the mail today. And I have to say, I really love Howler Brother lids. This waxed canvas number is pretty sweet with the Hi-Watt embroidered patch and is made for a life on the water. 

So funny story about me, Howler hats and a little chat I had with the owners at the Austin 2013 Fly Fishing Film Tour. Anyone who knows me well knows sometimes my tone camouflages my meaning. It’s just the way I speak. Well, in trying to pay them a compliment for their style and design I told them I really used to hate trucker hats. Of course the give away at the door was a coveted F3T x Howler lid- whereas all I think they heard was that I hated trucker hats. Hashtags: foot in mouth, you didn’t hear me right, what I meant to say was…. ugh. 

You see trucker hats were not always my favorite. They reminded me of an old family friend of my parent’s collection that had dirty old man humor all over them. So while at the tender age of 8 they were just not cool. They said things like “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. If it wasn’t for women…”

Never mind. You can fill in the blank but they were just silly and cheap. Fast forward to recent years and “throw back” anything can be cool. Well, I’ve since let go of my prejudices because Howler makes these well. I mean it. They are well built. They last. It’s not the cheap plastic crap they were made of when I was a kid. And then Howler design! Well, I don’t need to tell you about that. The quality speaks for itself. So I since being a convert to the trucker tried to say as much on seemingly deaf ears in the presence of Los Hermanos Howler themselves. 

My bad fellas! I love your work, love your lids; dig the local, dig the look. Your hats are all I wear on and off the water. The Hi-Watt Waxed Canvas is my first non-trucker Howler Bros lid I own. I know I’ll have it for years to come. In fact all my other hats are your truckers I’ve got over the years at the Austin F3T. So thank you for doing what you do. 

There that ends my Howler hat confession. 

Foot in my mouth,
AirborneAngler

Surroundings

by AirborneAngler on October 27, 2015 at 18:59
Posted In: FishArt, FlyArt, Reviews

New family and no time to fish. I’d be a fool to complain because my better half is already the catch of a life time, and the little man literally my beating heart. 

So what’s an angler to do with a passion for the water and zero time to be on it?

Well first I’m going to make time. I want to teach my son my passions and hope he makes them his own. And even if he doesn’t- at least he’ll learn it’s important to pursue them and know it can be done. 

Next I’m going to surround myself with things that remind me of my desired pursuits. Color your world with the thing you love. And let’s be honest- aside from the cartoonish hula doll from a friend on his Hawian vacation… I could really class up the desk a bit. So, a big thank you goes out to Shawn Bischel, artist, angler and two dimential terra-pictorial enthusiast. He’s the reason I have this sweet business card holder a la Guadalupe Bass. 

  
It’s ok, be jealous. Or get you one yourself here. 

See you on the high ground,
AirborneAngler

Upping the Photo Game

by AirborneAngler on July 16, 2015 at 20:46
Posted In: Photography, Random

Before anyone thinks that I’ve gone dead along with the frequency of blog posts- I assure you I am not. In fact, I’m even trying to step up my photo game. I recently acquired a Sony a6000 mirrorless digital camera in hopes of taking better pictures here. It’s going to take some time and work- but it’s fun already. Now, just finding more time to fish…

I’ll have to get back to you on that one. But rest assured I am in pursuit of higher ground.

See you up there,
AirborneAngler

P.S.
The above was taken hours before the publishing of this post at Austin’s own Mount Bonnell overlooking Lake Austin. I intend to keep The AirborneAngler piscatorial- but if you want to keep up with my new found photo hobby, follow @apertureanthony both on the Instagram or Twitter.  Thanks! -AA
