2013 will go down as the year of travel. Most was for work with numerous speaking engagements from coast to coast. Then I had the good fortune of hosting anglers for peacock bass in Brazil and tigerfish in Tanzania. Both hosting assignments were for Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures. My top “work” project was fishing … Read more
My marlin jinx will go on. There’s not much to say about the fishing today, our last day of this trip. Grant and his crew tried every trick in the book to entice a marlin to come from the deep to where I could cast my fly to him, but we saw absolutely zero fish. … Read more
Just my marlin luck, I got to fish first this morning but it was absolutely freezing out. I’ll guess it was in the upper 50ºs or low 60ºs at the most. It definitely wasn’t the norm for Baja and by no means good conditions to raise striped marlin into fly casting range. We hit … Read more
It was nice to get a nearly full night sleep after yesterday. I say nearly because we still didn’t get to bed till around 11 yet we were on our way to the Cabo docks at 5 AM. Sammy’s condo is near Todos Santos which is about a 45 minute drive to the boat. The … Read more
Sammy Vigneri and I were wiped out when we rolled into the Cabo San Lucas marina this morning to meet Grant Hartman, legendary Baja fly fishing guide and founder of Baja Anglers. We had every right to be. After a long day of travel we didn’t get to Sammy’s condo in Todos Santos, Mexico until … Read more
To say 2013 has been hard to fathom as far as lucking into numerous fishing trips around the world is an understatement. This year I have been just about everywhere and most of it has been sponsored because of hosting, filming and wonderful friends that must like my company. But there’s a few weeks left … Read more
With lots of travel this fall I’m a little late offering my Christmas ideas. There’s still plenty of time however, and I have a few incredible new products that are ideal for the angler that has everything. How about starting with the beautiful new Frosted Beer Mugs? This largemouth bass in just one of over … Read more
I’m not seeing much of Victor, Idaho this fall. Almost immediately after Africa, Granny and I headed to Wolfeboro, New Hampshire to spend time with my family for Thanksgiving. We haven’t hit a Holiday in over fifteen years so Mom was extremely happy. There’s not much fishing going on so to occupy ourselves we … Read more
I made it from my tent in Tanzania to my door in Victor, Idaho in exactly 50 hours. That may seem long to some but to me it’s incredible and should remind us all what a magnificent time this is to live. To be able to catch tigerfish on Friday and Snake River Cutthroats on … Read more
It’s the final day of week two and the final day for me also. Today is my fourteenth tigerfishing day in a row and the journey home begins tomorrow. With all that in mind, we needed to end big and therefore we brought Steve and John to the rapids. You know by now that … Read more
There’s no doubt I’d love to catch a vundu on the fly. I’ve dredged vundu waters for almost ten years now but I still haven’t had one eat my fly for sure and dang sure haven’t landed one. With both Oliver and I more than satisfied with our tigerfishing, we went with Andrew on a … Read more
It was an early morning because we switched from the Mnyera River Camp to the Ruhudji River. The Ruhudji is where I started last week. It’s a two hour jeep ride where you see lots of wildlife which this morning included enjoyable sightings of Lichtenstein Hartebeest and not so fun Tsetse flies. When we … Read more
