Since September 15th 2024 I have been away from home almost constantly. Lots of fishing travels and a ton of speaking engagements ranging from The Fly Fishing Show tour to a heap of one night gigs including ten days ago in the Phoenix area and continuing on next week in Oregon. Presently I’m home for … Read more
We’re gonna wrap it up quick today with a special thanks for my buddy Steve Berry, founder of Destinations Fly Fish. We have had an absolute blast this week chasing the carp, bass, bluegill, cichlids and more in the urban waters of Phoenix, Arizona. Not to mention Steve helped close the deals on a couple … Read more
Despite the late night after a great MLB ballgame at Chase Field, Steve Berry and I headed out early to meet up with Mike Faulkinbury. We drove across Phoenix which on a week day would have been awful with traffic, but this morning it wasn’t too bad. And it was good not too many folks … Read more
Just Steve Berry and I today and we made it a short one. We both had work to do this morning and tonight we went to the Diamondbacks vs Brewers game at Chase Field down here in Phoenix. During our short outing we checked out a few of Steve’s favorite canals but unfortunately they were … Read more
First eight photos by Ethan Beazley Today was a giant day of fly fishing for me. I expanded my resume of water fished down here in Phoenix, Arizona, I made some new fishing buddies and I added a new species to my list. This memorable day started with Steve Berry and I meeting up with … Read more
Today Steve Berry and I only had time to dabble in the urban fishing here in Phoenix. Yesterday’s double speaking gig had me in need of a little extra rest this morning. Then I had to reorganize and get prepared for tonight’s event with Desert Fly Casters. Once I had everything in order we had … Read more
Before I start todays fishing blog I’d like to give you access to a podcast I did with April Vokey and her Anchored Podcast ten days ago. The day after I got home from the Seychelles. I didn’t realize I was also being filmed. I just thought we were Facetiming to make the interview more … Read more
I made the half way around the world journey home from the Seychelles last week. I wasn’t home for long but the short time was fulfilled. I cleaned the salt off my gear from the Seychelles. I edited Seychelles pics and caught up on blogs. Then Saturday I donated a full day of art as … Read more
I’m shocked that in being here in the Seychelles for two solid weeks, that today was my first day on the water with two very good friends, TJ Rung and Michael Lodge. But its just the way it worked out. I’m friends with the entire group joining me on this Yellow Dog hosted trip and … Read more
We started out today with some big rain. At least an hour long downpour. I fished with Jeff Smith and Dave Boyd and our rain jackets were out. Fishing with these two characters was a redo of a memorable day we had here at Providence Atoll together back in 2022. And I got to fish … Read more
It doesn’t get any calmer or hotter than it was today. Yes, I’ve mentioned these conditions almost every day this week here on Providence Atoll in the Seychelles, but today was the calmest and the hottest even though it didn’t seem possible it could get calmer or hotter. I fished with Brian and Fred and … Read more
Four of us here this week on my Yellow Dog Hosted trip to Providence Atoll were on the heartbreaking 2019 cyclone trip. I brought a group all the way over here to the Seychelles only to get caught in a 100 year storm. We were trapped in Mahe seven days. We never made it to … Read more
