Moose Knuckle Fly Fishing is a project created by a group of friends to contemplate life through the lens of a fly fisherman. Conceived by a team of New Jersey natives in an attempt to showcase the more creative aspects of outdoor recreation, this is their story.
The blog is dedicated to Fly Fishing and outdoor recreation. We hope to connect with everyone who is passionate about fly fishing, fishing, creative writing and photography in America’s great outdoors. We feature fishing blogs focused on the fly, trout, hard water and to a limited extent other pastimes.
