 Tropical Saltwater: A Fly Fishing Buddy Extrordinaire

Dave (headrush999 to Flies and Fins readers) has taught me more this winter about tropical salt fly fishing than most anglers learn in a lifetime. That's partly because Dave is an enthusiastic teacher with tons of experience fishing S.W. Florida and partly because I am an old dawg who can learn new tricks. We get along. I have to catch up, and Dave rarely slows down. He will give up 10MPH when I'm following him in my '88 K-Car, just so he doesn't lose me, but he's a fast-laner. He has the smoothest cast you'll ever see. He's a joker and I'm often the jokee.
A spur-of-the-moment call from Dave may send us scurrying to a corner of Florida or to the keys, or the Bahamas. My gal, Diane winces when it's Dave on the phone because she knows I'm probably going soon. When Dave calls, it's always about fly fishing. He's got his ears tuned to "what's happening" and has a lot of contacts in the guiding trade, so his info is dead perfect.
This winter we went Snook and Tarpon fishing, we had a terrific day with Peacock Bass in Miami and a superb Bonefishing adventure in the Bahamas. The Bahamas fly fishing trip was
perhaps the finest fly fishing I've ever experienced...hence, this article and accompanying pictures is a kind of tribute and a thanks to my fly fishing buddy, Dave. Thanks for the good times, Dave.

headrush certainly knows his stuff down there .... that bahamas bonefish trip you guys did sounded sweet ... that is definately on my list of trips for 2006. If you say "it was perhaps the finest fly fishing ever" ... i gotta believe it is something i gotta try ...
great read ---- one can never underestimate the value of a a good fly fishing buddy... rods, reels all that stuff is replacable -- a good fly fishing budy is priceless .. give me a shout when ya get back to maine -- the hendriksons should be coming off any day now .. so you are coming back at the right time.
