Its getting cold here in Tampa Bay, kicking off the 4 month sentence where it seems every backwater mudflat has a large general population of convicts putting in time. Everywhere you look they seem to be staked out, eyeing for their next meal. These guys are tough, picky, on edge and will drive most any fly angler insane, but I’m […]
Life of a convict
St Brandon’s- A Fly Fishing gem
A month ago, I found myself frantically packing and re-packing my bags after a short notice opportunity to visit St Brandon’s atoll with well known guiding co Flycastaway. This little atoll, approximately 5 miles long and 2 miles wide is part of Mauritius, an Island in the Indian ocean off the East Coast of Africa. After a 5 hour […]

Myers, I now hail from the very strawberry filled area of Florida known as Plant City. I’ve been an avid fisherman since birth and have recently become addicted to […]
Not Taking Things For Granted, and Glad To Be Back On The Water.

I tried to sit down, and realized that unlike the other times my back hurt, I could not sit in a […]

Welcome to Miami: “Small, Bright, and Heavy”

I was to pick up Matt and Davin around lunch time at the airport. I arrive at Ft. Lauderdale Airport at 11:55 to pick up Matt Smythe and Davin Ebanks. I send a group text […]
New Kid on the Blog
My name is Chris Lancaster and I hail from Tarpon, Texas. They changed it to Port Aransas back in the ’30s, but Tarpon, Texas sounds way cooler. Anyway, I picked up a fly rod when I was 12, and it’s been my weapon of choice ever since. I was actually born missing most of my right arm, but if you […]
SWC Bahamas Trip 2013
Well, another year, another badass trip to the Bahamas. We had a great week with some great company. I miss it already, and am anxiously awaiting our return. The Bahamas is a special place…. boarding the plane in Miami and heading east is as close to going back in time as you can get. The flats are filled with all […]
