Remembrances from Flyfishing Kendjam Brazil

blog-Aug-6-2016-1-peacock-bass-fishing-kendjamI don’t like departing the comforts of Victor, Idaho during summer.  Fishing my own rivers, coffee on the back porch watching humming birds and listening to Cubs games on my XM are hard to leave.   But I travel anyhow and I never regret.  The past ten days fishing with Untamed Angling and Ben Furimsky in Kendjam Brazil was no less than phenomenal!

blog-Aug-6-2016-2-ben-furimsky-flyfishing-kendjamA special thanks to my friends Rodrigo Salles and Marcelo Perez of Untamed Angling for making this incredible journey possible.  If you too would like to experience a similar trip to Kendjam feel free to Contact me.  This is a trip that we at Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures can book for you.

Here are some final photos from this incredible adventure.
