That said, there is one outdoor show that stands out above the crowd, and it just happens to be opening this week at the State Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg. Highlights of this year’s, 53rd annual show include daily clinics with world-renowned bowhunter Chuck Adams and daily performances by trick shot archery Randy Oitker, a two-time North American Bowhunters World Champion.

The generation pattern on the White has been for one or two spikes of heavy generation each day followed by periods of no generation or low generation. On high water, brightly colored San Juan worms and egg patterns have been quite productive. When there is a bit of water, egg patterns have produced well, while on low water, partridge-and-orange soft hackles and green butts have done the job. The hot flies for this section have been olive woolly bugger, olive scuds and black zebra midges with silver wire and silver bead. read more

Nearly a quarter of all foreign breaks taken by Britons last year were spent in private homes, 60 per cent of them booked online through the owners, according to Mintel, with websites such as Holiday Rentals, Holiday Lettings or Owners Direct charging owners about £100 a year to advertise a property on the site. Take some tips from Holiday Rentals, which features 900 European ski chalets and apartments, mainly in France, Switzerland and Austria, and will be taking on 2,000 in North American this year. Taking areas that have a good supply of properties, and basing results on the number of inquiries per property, Holiday Rentals has found that the top spot for ski rental demand is the upmarket Austrian resort of Kitzbuhel, whose glaciers provide Europe’s only four-season skiing from September to June. The bottom five ski destinations for rental prospects suggest bad news for Bulgarian buyers hoping to prosper from holiday lets. A long-haul ski property may rule out your own spontaneous weekends on the slopes, but the rental potential could prove more reliable than buying in Europe. At the Three Sisters Mountain Village in Canmore in the Canadian Rockies, the local passion for active outdoor pursuits - from skiing and climbing to mountain biking and golf - is unwavering, ensuring good 12-month rental potential. read more
