04/20/2012 Follow Friday @RodrickHawgBrown
This week we have a special Follow Friday for you fish fans from the AirborneAngler HQ. Sun Tzu, master of warfare teaches us that, “if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.” -Sun Tzu, The Art of War.
Well, fly angling man this week you need to open up your scope and bring Roderick Hawg-Brown in your crosshairs. He has a great blog and a neat series of posts called: Letters to the Predator. So take aim and shoot him a question. Just don’t come crying to me if he happens to crush your soul- and or fly rod for that matter, just for the sake of humoring us all.
The best thing about Roderick is that is that he ‘speaks the truth’ (signature closing line and true statement). So, if you’re bashful, sensitive, don’t think your rod can handle the bend, then this Follow Friday may not be for you. For the rest of my troopers brave enough to take a peek and see the elephant- or hawg in this case, march to the sound of the guns and give a follow.
You can follow Roderick on Twitter at @RodrickHawgBrown, and check out his site at roderickhawgbrown.com
See you on the high ground,

Fly Fishing Film Tour F3T Swag!
You know that awkward moment when you realize you’ve geek-ed out on something hard, I’m proud to admit I’ve hit it. Point and case- I got my monkey (pimp HowlerBros logo sticker)! Last night I was in swag hog heaven. Vendor booths fly flicks- it was better than getting sick at the fair.
Howler Brothers sponsored the 2012 Austin Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T) at the Paramount Theater this year. Originally scheduled for the Alamo Draft House they had to shift fire to the Paramount before it all went down. The venue did not disappoint. Learning to appreciate fly fishing I find implies learning to appreciate all things vintage. The Paramount is exactly that- vintage, and made a very suiting location. As a new fly angler I did not know events like these existed until a few months ago. As soon as I did my ticket was purchased and I was counting down the days.
Now, having grabbed every sticker I could and gorging my eyes out over awesome fly film footage; I am content enough to vomit up this sad excuse of a review. Point blank it was awesome. I meet cool people, drooled over the coolest of gear (Diablo Paddlesports yaks), and dreamed the night away on how I would be making a headline in next year’s premiered videos. Thanks for the good times.
See you on the high ground,
