Walleyes...

I won't tell you where.

But I'll tell you how.

Through the lens




Species Spec's 2

I'm just getting started with the saline species.

"Whaddya doing here with that trout fishin' pole... they ain't no trout in here."

A young Jedi taught me this trick...

If you don't understand, then you don't have the Force.

Here are some momentos from the past few years of tying and scribbling...If you can find the wisdom in these tid-bits, I can guarantee you that on your death bed you will have complete consciousness.

Why Snake Guides?

Easy. Because Snake Guides have two feet. Just like me. Two feet keep me from falling down in the water and two feet keep them from falling off into the water. Plus you don't have to file 'em before you wrap 'em.

(Is that 200 horses thar Ace & Gary?) I soak my dubbing at under 5 mph, and thats only when the wind kicks up.


Bacon did it so I should too

Foreign country, foreign beer, rivers, trout and what-not. Speaking of Belize. I cannot shake Permit. Every night I drift off to a twinkling flat looking for tails. Every day sitting at my desk my eyes refuse to blink. As they dry up and fog over, I see backing ripping through the saltwater...If you go, be ready to redefine your angling pecking order. "I don't know if this 10 weight will hold ..."
