Nicaragua – The Rumble in the Jungle
Steve Tatigian, Jed Mixter, Ned Hutchinson and myself flew to the Atlantic Coast in search of River Tarpon and Snook. Despite the conditions the trip turned out to be quite the adventure. We flew into Bluefields and stayed at the Casa Rosa lodge which was right on the water and the food cooked by Mama [...]
Scratching the Winter Itch
We all get that feeling when to much time has passed since our last fishing outing, and it is not a good one, actually it has been proven that too much time away from water will make certain people go crazy. Lone time friend and fishing partner Vance Freed and I got out on the [...]

Tim had been to the area in which I am heading this October and we started talking flies, make sure they [...]
Stop Teton Dam
While the rest of the country is spending time and money looking for ways to remove dams and allow native fish to swim freely, Idaho is considering rebuilding a dam that has already failed. What a joke…… The Teton Dam, a federally built earthen dam on the Teton River in southeastern Idaho, collapsed during its [...]
INDIA – Wow……….
Where to start with this trip is a mystery as it could take weeks to tell all the stories from this month long exploratory trip from to India in 2006. Might as well start with one of the highlights and then I will digress in other segments about getting skunked by the mighty Mahseer, HE-MAN [...]
