As much as I would like to be a professional in the fly fishing industry, I will likely always be a mere doctor who fly fishes a lot. I am a physician with a specialty in emergency medicine. I also do a lot of international trips that combine fly fishing […]
Preface: You can skip this whole post by listening th “50 ways to leave your lover” by the great Paul Simon. That guy gives fantastic advice on ending relationships, fishing or otherwise. Fortunately, I have not had to date anyone other than my wife for the last two decades. From […]
Peacock bass are not actually bass, but rather, they are cichlids. Related to African cichlids, peacock bass share a family tree with these African species that evolved alongside their ancestors on the super-continent of Gondwanaland before it began to break apart about 150 million years ago.

If you look in to the Latin and Greek roots of fish scientific names, you’ll find some pretty cool examples.

Perhaps nothing has expanded my fly fishing game more than the purchase of my raft. Fish in deep runs and big rivers that were once inaccessible are now at my finger tips. Enjoy Chad Agy Presents: Lessons From the Rower’s Seat. The arcane river use laws of Utah and Wyoming […]
