It was the third redfish we had seen since poling up onto the flat. Selfsame as the last two. Oversized and broad across the shoulders and neck where the small brassy scales ran around its collar and met the wide smooth cap at the base of its skull.
One Vague Word
…Some fishing Lately…
I want to start by apologizing for the lack of blogging. I have been really lazy lately and it has gotten the best of me. Aside from that I hope everyone has been out fishing and having some fun. Since I haven’t posted in a while I have tons of pics that I would like to share with you guys. […]
The Tamiami Trail
Leaving Pinellas County heading south you soon find yourself at the apex of a giant bridge supported by a bright fan of yellow cables with the waters of Tampa Bay soon filling your rear view mirror. The flats and mangrove laced islands dotted with anglers and others enjoying the water quickly turn into 3 lanes of tourists, daily commuters, self […]
Euro Nymphing & Competitive Fly Fishing
This past Saturday I was lucky enough with the chance to be able to fish with Brown Hobson. He is an Orvis Endorsed guide in Asheville, North Carolina, and is also a member of the USA Fly Fishing team. He is definitely the most skilled angler I have ever met. Since I am trying to make my way onto the youth team this […]
Breakfast for Lunch?

Visions of Spring.
When I envision Spring, I think of 2 places. Those would be WNC (Western North Carolina) trout streams, and this creek that flows by my town, known as Twelve Mile Creek.

Summer Sessions
Taking a look back, my last days of summer were well spent. I fished a lot of new water and got to try some new techniques in the process. I had an absolute blast. As summer came to a close salmon and steelhead took my focus away from carp. Carp are #1 in my eyes but swinging flies is #2. […]
Next Day Mail
It has been tough fishing the last few weeks. This time last year there was not a flake of snow on the ground. Carp, steelhead, and pike were still cooperating and life was good. This year we seem to be back into our “traditional Midwestern winter.” This can be a blessing and a curse. I decided in the Fall that […]
