The water looks remarkably good at the bridge this morning, enough so that I wouldn’t think twice about going for it with my favorite box of worms. Chuck a streamer if you don’t mind the work. The drop in flows and lack of pressure should equal some good fishing this week, at least until things [...]
These aren’t fish I shoot often, but enough is enough sometimes when dealing with toothy predators. This one got a little to interested in me while hunting wahoo in the blue water and fell to my new 57″ gun.
I spent the last nine days covering 600 nautical miles in the Gulf of Mexico spearfishing multiple species of fish along the way. All fish were shot free diving in depths from 50-180ft. We hunted on offshore shipwrecks, navigational towers, hard bottom, and living coral . We returned home with full fish boxes and plenty [...]
This morning’s weather at the shop is perfect. Warm (overnight temps stayed in the 40′s), Overcast (nice thick blanket of dry low-level clouds), and Still (not a lick of breeze as of yet). The river has been seeing a pretty consistent Drake hatch and today you have the weather to get them going. Look for [...]
What to do with a day off? Fish of course. Boat? No. Flies?No. Tangles? Yep, still had some tangles. I took my daughter to give the local fish a little exercise this morning and enjoy a little time laying in the grass- after the last few days today felt like summer out there. She did [...]
The flows are stable,dropping, and fishing well. If you can handle the weather that is. It took me two days to thaw out after Sundays float. That was some serious wind and snow to be fishing through. Fishing was good until the 2 foot whitecaps started blowing up the river. The sunny skies in the [...]
This morning at the shop it is 44* and overcast. Slightest drizzle dropping occasionally from low hanging clouds-to me that means Mayflies. Specifically the Ameletus and Baetis varieties. Look to the smaller gravel sections of the river for more consistent hatches of the little sail boats. The Split tail March Brown has been a consistent [...]
The record lows lately mean the river has dropped hard and is fishing great. Lots of Ameletus out there, with BWO’s, and stones mixed in for good measure. I was asked in the shop recently why the takes can be so ferocious on the Ameletus-simply, because the Ameletus nymph is a very agile/quick swimmer. Catch [...]
Here is the new look for the MO this week. That’s John from SoCal-not really his ideal fishing weather. He swears he has polarized lenses for his goggles. I got him in the boat anyhow and the nymph fishing was as good as ever. The dry fly game is picking up some speed in the [...]
The downward trend continues with the downright COLD temperatures we have been seeing the last couple days. 27* at the shop this morning, don’t forget your gloves. The river should fish really well this week, with the upper end showing great things early, and the lower as the week progresses. Plenty of bugs out there [...]
