I’ve known Oliver White for about 15 years.  Not well however.  Oliver moved to Jackson, Wyoming and worked for the fly shop down the street from the one I managed.  He became a well known Snake River fishing guide but like most, eventually left Jackson for the “real...

After yesterdays epic day of fishing, any experienced angler would be suspicious that today might stink.  Furthermore, our beat today was the lower Mnyera River, the section where we had our worst fishing day last week.  We’re mixing up fishing partners every day and...

After Steve landed his first tigerfish last night, a 13lber, I made it clear that this huge fish was not the norm.  I didn’t want him to expect such incredible fish all week.  That’s never a good thing.  But after his second fish he must have thought I was joking with...

Today was the end of the week for my first hosted group.  Don, Linda and Mark boarded the charter for civilization at 11 AM and my second group of Steve Reem, John Elgee and Oliver White arrived.  Naturally these guys were beat after forty hours of travel from the...

How time flies – today was the last day of week one.  You wait and plan for a year and then the trip itself goes past in a blink of an eye.  The good news is it’s been a great one for everyone and we ended big with solid action, hamburgers and the premiere of...

Today was back in the boat with Mark Del Frate.  Mark and I fished together earlier this week over on the Ruhudji.  You may remember we worked very hard for just couple nice fish.  We hoped today would be a better one.   We left camp very early with guide Greg. ...

It rained hard at 3 AM.  The wind howled and our tent shook and flapped as if things were about to hit the fan like in India last May.  Luckily, the mini storm was short lived and when I headed for coffee at 5:15 only a few puffy clouds lingered.  Looks like we dodged...

After two challenging yet successful days on the Ruhudji River it was off to the Mnyera River.  I must be more specific however, we went to a place I had the good fortune of fishing while here in 2010, the rapids, better known as the Garden of Eden.  The rapids are...

In 2010 my friends Linda Newquist and Mark Del Frate joined me in the Amazon.  I had a large group so the only time I got on the water with Mark was for two hours dangling piranha heads for catfish.  The short session became memorable because I landed an impressive...

Unless you’re unusual its hard to get good sleep the first night on the other side of the planet.  Personally I use chemistry to get me on schedule.  Therefore I was up early and refreshed at around 5:15 AM.  I drank coffee on the edge of the Ruhudji River not far...

This is my sixth fishing trip to Africa.  Although only two were hardcore tigerfish trips, my three Nile Perch exploits to Egypt were filled with tigerfishing as well.  Tigerfish are the most widespread and popular game fish of Africa.  Many anglers are aware of this;...

While most despise the long flight I have a routine where they’re kind of fun.  I rarely read or watch movies when I’m home.  And I never do a crossword puzzle.  But on long flights I enjoy all.  Toss in a couple glasses of red and an Ambien and long flights are fun....

Although I’ll be in Tanzania at the exact location Confluence Films filmed me tigerfishing in the movie “Connect”, I’ll be throughout fishing communities in spirit on November 8th.  Confluence is about to premiere their next incredible movie, “Waypoints”.   On...
