The Somerset, New Jersey Fly Fishing Show was another dandy. The aisles were jam packed with excitement and I kept busy from opening on Friday till closing time on Sunday. I picked up a horrendous crud that took the life out of me by mid day Saturday. Too many handshakes I guess at previous shows … Read more
It’s been a nice trip back East. Granny and I knocked off a successful Marlborough Fly Fishing Show and caught up with plenty of my family and friends. We’ve also enjoyed our time hanging out in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. But today it’s back to work starting with the dreaded six hour drive to New Jersey. … Read more
The Marlborough Fly Fishing Show was no less than superb. This show has quickly become a favorite of mine. It’s the smaller of all the Fly Fishing Shows but that gives me more time to visit with folks, many of which I know from growing up in this area. Despite being a smaller show I … Read more
Not much to blog about lately because I’ve been working like a mad man. Since the Denver Fly Fishing Show I slipped home for a few days and caught up on art and office work then traveled to Idaho Falls and spoke to the Snake River Cutthroats Fly Fishing Club. This week finds Granny and … Read more
The Denver Fly Fishing Show is in the books. Friday was insanely busy to kick off the season. I gave a couple seminars and drew on Cliff Fly Boxes all day. It was great fun and I must have caught up with over a 100 old friends and customers. Harvey Cohen, the man who … Read more
Its time to put the rod away. My annual speaking season kicks off tomorrow traveling to the Denver Fly Fishing Show. From now till April 10th I have at least a gig a week. While most are appearances at the famous traveling Fly Fishing Show, I have a few one night presentations at Fly Fishing … Read more
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

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
