Don't waste your time driving to the dream stream. Flows are around 50 cfs right now, which makes it really tough to get into fish. Deckers (South Platte) is fishing well right now with BWO and some ...

After spending a few years messing around with largemouth bass in the Midwest, I think its time to step it up a notch. Not too much has been reported about fishing peacock bass in Brazil. When I see ...

The new Simms G3 Guide waders are well worth the $400 price tag. I was a bit turned off by them because of the price, but I was also fed up with buying a $200 pair of waders that wouldn’t make it thr ...

As an avid fly fisherman I can get stuck in the same old routine of using basically the same flies every time I go out. I’ve caught fish on these flies numerous times and my confidence is high on the ...

South Platte River in Colorado. It gets quite a bit of pressure, but the fishing can be incredible. In fact, it made me pack up all of my belongings in the back of my truck and move out west from Mi ...

Watching 20 inch plus fish rising to size #22 and #24 tricos on the South Platte!
