We decided to write this blog as a way of sharing some of our stories from past experiences fishing, tying flies, guiding, and traveling. Most of which are completely 100% true except for the names of people, some stories are slightly embellished and some are mostly made up. It's really for you to figure it out and for us to have some fun writing down some of the truly good memories we have had while immersed in fly fishing.

Flats Trip

As we were getting ready to close down the store today one of the flats guides came in, Captain James Koch, and asked us if we wanted to go fishing for a couple hours? Of course I answered yes! We closed up shop headed to his boat and went to fish! It wasn't long before we were on a couple of schools of tarpon, and I mean huge tarpon. Unfortunately I couldn't get a strike... We moved on to a new spot and I got another two shots at a moving school and nothing, and thats when the clouds rolled in and blinded us to moving fish. This fishery is so different to me because it relies so much on the sun. If the sun is behind a cloud your ability to see fish is cut drastically. Sometimes so bad you don't see fish until they are right on top of you! It was a blast and James worked hard for us putting us on fish it was just tough to see them. Someday here real soon I'll have pictures of more than just the scenery and the captain, but for now that's all I have! Enjoy!
