THE STONED FISH COLLECTION 🎣💨

Well… this got out of hand.

ALL DESIGNS AVAILABLE AS STICKERS AND T-SHIRTS ON MY SITE WWW.TIDEWATERRODS.COM

What started as one stupid idea has officially turned into an entire collection of aquatic degenerates.

Introducing The Stoned Fish Collection - because apparently regular fish just weren’t making enough bad decisions.

These are all available right now as stickers and T-shirts at TidewaterRods.com⁠. Sizes up to 5XL for the “portly” folks.

🇺🇸 Printed in the USA.
📦 IMPORTANT: Shirts and stickers are printed and shipped separately, so they will arrive separately from your rod order. Don’t email me accusing the mailman of stealing your stoned catfish.

And never in my life did I think I would spend FOUR NIGHTS sitting up until 4:00 AM on a brand-new iPad Pro designing fish that look absolutely fu***ng baked.

Yet here we are.

Money well spent.

Every one of these designs was created by me while wrapping rods in my workshop using Adobe Illustrator and Procreate on my new iPad Pro (that damn thing has me hooked). They’re original designs, drawn and put together one ridiculous fish at a time while any reasonable adult was asleep.

So now I need to know:

Which stoned fish is your favorite?

And more importantly…

What fish have I missed that deserves to get absolutely zooted next? 😂

Drop your requests below. Freshwater, saltwater, weird sh*t… I’m listening.

And PLEASE share these things. Send them to your fishing buddies. Put them in your stories. Tag somebody who needs a baked fish slapped on their cooler.

Just don’t steal my freaking artwork.

I spent four nights until 4 AM making these little bastards.

I’m emotionally attached now.

COLLECT THEM ALL. 🎣💨

Rest in Peace, Dolly.

Today we lost more than a country music legend.

We lost one of those rare people who somehow made the world feel a little kinder just by being in it.

Dolly Parton inspired generations of women to be strong, independent, successful and completely unapologetic about who they were. But her influence was never limited to women. Men admired her too. Musicians admired her. Writers admired her. Dreamers admired her.

Because underneath the rhinestones, big hair and larger-than-life personality was a person who never seemed to forget where she came from.

She grew up with very little and spent much of her life making sure other people had more.

She gave millions to charitable causes. She helped families after disasters. She supported medical research. And through her Imagination Library, she helped put books into the hands of millions of children around the world.

That might ultimately say more about Dolly Parton than any award ever could.

She understood something that fame sometimes makes people forget:

Success means a hell of a lot more when you use it to help somebody else.

Country music lost one of its greatest voices today.

But the loss reaches much further than Nashville.

The world lost a songwriter, storyteller, philanthropist, businesswoman, trailblazer and genuinely good human being who touched lives she would never even know existed.

There will never be another Dolly.

But somewhere tonight, somebody will play one of her records.

Some little kid will open a book that exists in their hands because of her generosity.

Some young woman will decide she doesn’t need anyone’s permission to become exactly who she wants to be.

And somebody going through a difficult time will hear one of those songs and feel a little less alone.

That’s a pretty damn incredible legacy to leave behind.

Rest easy, Dolly.

You gave this world far more than you ever took from it.

And you will always be loved.

If you’re local to the Tidewater 757 (Virginia Beach Area) and have been interested in the amazing healing benefits of fly fishing or volunteering to serve our vets, come on out to my home workshop on the water, meet the best folks behind The Tidewater Chapter for PHWFF and learn how fly rods and built, meet some new friends, and maybe learn a thing or two. Going to be a good time. Maybe a little fishing off my dock as well. DM for my address.
