Add the Alligator Gar to the Fly Rod Species List!

It’s been quite a week here in Texas.  Thank goodness I took Brian Iannacchione’s offer to join him with longtime friend and guide extraordinaire, Jako Lucas.  The fishing this week has been a true eyeopener.  I’ve seen great jack crevalle fishing, bull redfish like never before and had some fun on the flats.   Both … Read more

Fly Fishing for Jack Crevalle

I’ll never forget the first jack crevalle I caught.  It was April of 1989 in Belize.  The fish was part of a marauding school of crevalle a few miles up in the brackish waters of the Sibun River.  I’d not seen such carnage.  I remember the cast, the startling smash on my orange Tarpon Glow … Read more
