I've always been a silicon ear plug wearer, but I picked up these Howard Leight electronic earmuffs recently to give them a try. I really like the concept, and particularly being able to hear what's going on around me when I step to the line, but I'm not totally sold on them. The volume adjustment isn't as smooth as I expected. Still, better than stuffing foam in my ears. . #electronicearmuffs #hearingprotection #HowardLeight #shootingsports #rangeday #producttesting #review #2a #FLOutdoors #TheSuburbanAngler #278

I read this morning that Trout Fest has been cancelled again this year. It had to have been an agonizing decision for the promoters to make, but I'm sure they chose the best course of action for the situation. You can find the details on the Blue Ridge Trout and Outdoor Adventures Festival Facebook page. We're all going to need to plan a reunion at the 2022 show! . #BlueRidgeTroutFest #BlueRidge #TroutFest #BlueRidgeGA #trout #festival #damncov!d #flyfishing #northGeorgia #northgeorgiamountains #TheSuburbanAngler #286

Recently, the Little Girl and I have developed the Saturday habit of patronizing some of our local, mom-and-pop restaurants, grabbing some lunch to go and parking at one of the many beach parks in the area to enjoy our "picnic". With the foul weather today, the ocean give us quite a show!! . #Saturday #picnic #eatlocal #OrmondBeach #beach #beachpark #park #foulweather #rain #redflagconditions #palmtrees #TheSuburbanAngler #288

I've got a book recommendation for you, if you have any interest in Hemingway and his time in Key West. This was a pretty easy read, not terribly long, and gave great background on Key West history, some of the sites to see and even some Hemingway fishing anecdotes. If you're planning to visit Key West soon, read Papa first. It'll give you greater perspective, better insight and a few off the beaten path places to visit! . #Papa #HemingwayInKeyWest #JamesMcLendon #booksuggestions #beachread #KeyWest #FloridaKeys #fishing #Pilar #ErnestHemingway #HemingwayHouse #SloppyJoes #FloridaHistory #TheSuburbanAngler #292

"One function, at least, of true wilderness is to provide a refuge from the crassitudes of civilization-whether visible, intangible, audible-whether of billboard, of pavement, of auto horn-all of these are urban essences; all are negations of wilderness." - Benton MacKaye . #BentonMacKaye #quote #wilderness #refuge #PoignantDuringBikeWeek #GetOutside #flyfishing #FlyfishGA #SmithCreek #northgeorgiamountains #TheSuburbanAngler #296

@redtruckflyfishing posed the question earlier about the last time you went for an unplanned swim while fishing. You can check their post for the abridged version of my story, but this photo was taken about half an hour before I made my dive. And, I was mistaken, it was November, not January! . #flyfishing #unplannedswim #fellin #northGeorgia #flyfishingstories #wevealldoneit #Imoverdue #besafe #safetythird #GetOutside #TheSuburbanAngler #304
