If you have read anything much of my various blogs you will already know that I constantly bemoan the focus of fly anglers on […]

We have had a long stretch of cold weather this winter. Morning lows either side of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or even below and daytime highs in the teens. A few snowstorms have made the winter scene complete. This week is full moon and one of my favorite scenes is in view. Sorry no picture of it the camera simply does not capture the scene.

The weather was cold but it was hot fishing today while jigging. I had a chance to try out some  Varivas nylon line today and it worked out well as you can see from the photo! As many of you know I am a line tester for Varivas lines.  I've written a lot about their braided lines and fluorocarbon for saltwater applications. Now I'm back to ice fi...

Well this is it! Wintertime fishing at its finest. These past couple weeks we have seen a bit of inconsistent weather and high winds.

Gag grouper being caught and […] The post Fishing Report-Friday January 30 2026 ap...

Over the last 36 hours the bite has been mostly early morning and late afternoon. The best depths have been 24-28 feet.  Shallow evening spots are also becoming more active. It’s time for some of the fishing to improve in the shallow water.  This weekend some anglers will be going deep and some going shallow.  […] The post January 30th 2026 first...

The difference between breaking strain and the “X” system. Yes it is mid-winter here in Wales freezing cold and the prospects for any fishing even Euro-nymphing for grayling are severely limited. We have had nothing but rain for weeks and the rivers are in spate. But with no fishing expeditions to write about I have […]

Mid-winter fishing conditions are in full swing across the Naples and Marco Island backcountry including the Rookery Bay Preserve and that means productive fishing deeper in the creeks bays and mangrove shorelines. Cooler water temperatures push fish into these protected areas creating excellent opportunities for consistent action and mixed-bag da...

If you spend enough days nymphing rivers like the Missouri you eventually stop arguing about whether a 10-foot fly rod is worth it and start wondering how you ever lived without one. For years 9-foot rods were staples. They were versatile familiar and “standard.” But modern nymphing—especially on big technical tailwaters—has evolved. Deeper rigs l...

OFFSHORE- Another week of scattered sailfish action; with boats trolling up to the north picking away at a few sails and the live baiters getting chances south of Jupiter Inlet. A few dolphin have been mixed in with the sailfish along with the occasional wahoo and blackfin tuna. Most of the live bait action has been from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupi...

The no scope Elite series event on guntersville is proving you don't have to have the technology to catch bass. Does it help? Yes. However on day 1 there were 50 eighteen pound limits weighed in without scope and water temps were in the 30s. Grandpa said go deep when it's cold. Grandpa was wrong.

I jigged up this nice crappie today in some bluebird weather.  This fish hit a small gold Kastmaster tipped with a Berkley Gulp Maggot. The weather is cold really cold but the ice fishing remains hot.  I've gotten out several times in the last week jigging several different ponds and I've gotten good numbers of fish.  It's been a lot of variety...
