The blog has been quiet since I returned from Mexico way back just before Thanksgiving. But that was the plan. It was time to buckle down and promote my webstore for Christmas and prepare and deliver a bunch of Online Zoom PowerPoint Presentations. While most of these talks are for private clubs (last night for … Read more

The insane wind was still howling when I got up for coffee at 5 AM. But I saw stars for the first time since Sunday. There were clouds too but no doubt we’d have some sunshine to help us spot fish on our last day here at Casa Blanca Fishing Lodge in Mexico. Because … Read more
Not much fishing today. We faced what we’ve had every day since Sunday – heavy wind and rain. In fact, it rained so hard from when we woke up until 9 AM that we didn’t leave for fishing until 10 AM. The wind was a steady 30 MPH so our only option was to fish … Read more
I knew at about 2 AM that even if we were fishing today, it likely wouldn’t be an on time departure. The wind shook my room and heavy rain pelted the windows. While there’s some glass most are made up of screens and fancy wooden blinds to keep the rain out. Well, the rain was … Read more
The wind didn’t subside last night at dark like “normal” wind does. Instead it got stronger. This morning we awoke to a steady 25 MPH blow. It appears Hurricane Iota tearing through Central America to the south is a category 5 and we’re getting the fringe of it here in Mexico. Instead of battling the … Read more
Things were a little spicy this morning here in Mexico and I don’t mean my huevo rancheros for breakfast. At about 3 AM the wind began to roar. So much so that it woke me up and I couldn’t get back to sleep. Not only was my deep sleep time disrupted but the wind also … Read more

This morning I was tossing and turning by 4 AM and as soon as I heard the Casa Blanca Fishing … Read more
It was a good move leaving Idaho a day early for this trip to Casa Blanca Lodge in Mexico with friend Jerry Arnold. It turns out Idaho got crushed with snow last night right through midday today along with 45 MPH winds. Instead of dealing with a cancelled flight out of Idaho Falls I awoke … Read more
I was scheduled to fly to Mexico tomorrow but serious snow caused me some panic and after a chat with Delta, I left today. I’ve made it as far as Salt Lake City where instead of snow its big rain and I should be able to get out. I’m headed back to Casa Blanca … Read more
Scott Smith, Josh Gallivan and I squeezed out a few early hours fly fishing for pike today before our long drive back home. My luck continued and I landed two more nice pike including a hefty 37”. Its been a magnificent little jaunt to say the least and great times with two friends. While … Read more
