Hey Y'all,

I'm going to be in Carillon, FLA ( near Panama City ) in May and wonder if anyone knows a good fly guide down there? Love to boat that first tarpon or get into some large snook or reds. ...

I think what has me really obsessed with fly fishing is the focus it brings me. When I'm on the water, either alone OR with another angler or guide, I'm just totally focused on reading the water, th ...

Hey all,

Just found my Orvis Andros "go to" shades busted. Boo.

Hey Y'all!

I'm going to be in Ogunquit, ME in mid July and I'm looking for a guide out of that area for a half day of fishing. I've done the stripers and blues thing a lot recently and I'd love to ...

I only eat on the water if it's slow and I'm suddenly hit with starvation and weakness. If I'm losing the ability to cast then I know it's time to take a short rest and sit and eat. I go for:

1. Leaving my rod on top of the car in order to open hatchback then taking off waders and driving off with the rod on the top of the car. Ashamed to say that I've done that more than once. DUMBA**!! ...

Having been around fish and fishermen ( and women who fish ) since I was born I have had the opportunity to hear a lot of people talking about fishing. Fishermen love to talk and hear themselves talk ...

On MORE than one occasion I have placed my rod on the top of my car in order to get out of my waders and gear and then DRIVEN AWAY WITH THE ROD ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR!... A mile or so down the road I ...

My girlfriend wishes to have it known that HER Dad gave her the best advice she was ever given and it was " Dress how you want to be treated."
Sound advice... But can he double haul?

OK. So my Dad gave me some great advice over the weekend. He was watching me cast a few rods on our lawn and noticed that my double haul was all wrong. Now, I've been on YouTube and other resources ...

Hey guys. Thanks for all the insight. I guess it just comes down to personal preference. Much appreciated.

I'm looking for a new "all around" salt water fly rod. I say "all around" because I do NOT have the money to buy more than 1 rod at this time. I will, I think, primarily be going ...

Check out Mangrove Outfitters. I've used them out of Naples in the spring and they have a ton of great guides. The back bays should be teeming with big Tarpon about now but you'd have to have a boat ...

I'm going out fishing in the Naples FL area next week. I've been on guided trips a few times there before but I have a specific question. This has come up through countless hours of casting and catc ...
