Trout Bums and Technology

I am quite a tech bum and use app and computer technology to aid me in Trout Bumming. But I have found  that most trout bums don't use social media all that much or at all. They tend to be off the grid kinds folks except when it comes to finding information about future Trout Bumming locations or equipment. So like me we selfishly use the internet furiously for gathering information while researching future Trout Bumming locations.

FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram and others simply don’t interest me. Now I have been advised over and over again by professionals to utilize social media for making myself known, selling products and gain followers and friends.

For right now I’ll pass stay off the grid, but I may give in someday.  Hope you all understand.

Below are some of my favorite and recommended links.  Remember to check out the links I have placed on each of the lifestyle pages. Enjoy.
