I had a wild time fishing last week across Topeka.

A lot of factors go into determining whether you’ll have a successful day of fishing — barometric pressure, water clarity, temperature, time of day, even the phase of the moon all play a part in determining fish activity.

There’s an old saying that fishing is just a jerk on one end of a line waiting for a jerk on the other end of the line.

For a few hours on the opening morning of rainbow trout fishing at Lake Shawnee, there we were — about 30 jerks sitting there, waiting for another jerk.

I received a cool email from Rick Towers recently regarding the Shunga Creek.

As you may recall, I wrote a column earlier this year about my experience fishing on the Shunga — and my surprise when I actually caught some decent bass on it.

Review: Arby’s Venison Sandwich is literal spiritual salvation in food form

Josh Rouse takes a bite out of the most delicious fast food sandwich ever created.

As though created by angels and delivered to my mouth on a lightning bolt of flavor, Arby’s limited-edition Venison Sandwich left me feeling as though I had caught a glimpse of the heavens and all their splendor before being jettisoned back down to the duldrums of reality.

The one-day-only offer of this delectable morsel has come and gone, and I once again must roam the earth longingly, dreaming of the day the delightful deer steak drenched in juniper berry steak sauce and adorned with a light blanket of crispy onions will once again touch my lips.
