In an excellent visual example of why you should check out all your equipment before operation Stickman had a good night with fishing gear. Bad night for photos. Because I fish primarily alone at night way late and generally for 6 hours straight not

Hi Folks Been guiding with the fly rods the last two days in some higher than average water flows.  I'll take it after two years in row of drought conditions.  The higher flows are keeping water temperatures down a bit and we are seein

BAD BOTTOMS #1

Most flies on the blog are from the shop but this one from the outside is worth sharing.  Dave Pinczkowski's Bad Hair Day fly that he ties on Skagit master 4 caught my eye for many reasons as a fly tyer and steelhead fisherman.  The mo

The weather is absolutely perfect this morning and I am furiously working on two jobs that will wait no longer hoping to get on the water by noon. Something always goes wrong when replacing a garbage disposal and replacing wax...

The catching was much better than expected yesterday afternoon. We caught a break with the wind and made a quick run on the north end of the lake. We had every intention of trying to catch 3 or 4 flounder...

Hi Folks Been an interesting couple days of guiding.  Finally got a little bit of a respite from the heat with a cold front pushing through on Friday.  Alleviated the muggy air and replaced it with nice cool crisp air.  We still need

If you haven’t heard bringing bananas on a fishing boat is typically bad luck. In fact old and grumpy captains have been known to cancel trips when a group shows up with a sack of bananas. But hey they make great snacks when offshore fishing r

I am currently on a good day-bad-day-good day schedule and it has had nothing to do with the weather. The wind has made it a little tougher some days but that doesn't explain the inconsistent bite. My biggest problem is...

Although the river was socked in with fog as we started out this morning Bob Blalock and I both had a feeling we might have some good fishing today. We met out at the Goffinsville Park boat ramp and after leaving the dock crept through the fog all t

:)August 25 2013 Sabine Lake 25+ mph East Winds Full Moon Tropical Rain threatening all day. Every reason not to catch anything at all. What a day for Mike and Paul to fish for Speckled Trout for the first time. Paul started putting fish in the box o

We had Cecil Ashley and the boys from Va on Sunday. Great weather and awesome fishing. The bluefins had the 12-15 pound bluefish balled up on the surface and were exploding thru them--and unbelievable site. We caught and released 3 up to 450lbs and l
