Fly fishing + bass. The two do not exactly roll off the tongue like peanut butter & jelly or Bonnie & Clyde. However the reality is that bass are quite happy to eat flies, and surface oriented "poppers" at that. The takes can be violent and explosive. The fight intense and satisfying, and diversifying your standard fly fishing routine is…

Small fish are great. Not only do they represent what the future holds in store for the waters in which they live, but they often wear the most vibrant colors and stunning patterns. Does it take a big fish to feel reward in a catch? Certainly most anglers hope for the largest fish at the end of their line, but…

I like fishing down stream. Swinging for Steelhead is a fine seasonal transition from months of up stream trout fishing. It’s a different tempo, two stepping down a run. The casting is different, not to mention that some days the fly rod is even totally different. Two hands holding cork now. Cool. When the swing comes tight it's hard to…

Things are off and running for us on our East Cape of Baja adventure. Traveling the backroads and DIY fishing from the beach has been a blast so far. The two most striking features of the area so far have been how hot and humid the air is, and how hot and humid the ocean is. Seriously it's shocking how…
