At this point you’re all familiar with what’s going on at the lodge, the characters found around the lodge and the general lodge vibe. With that being said, this is a fishing lodge… On the water… In the Bahamas… So what about the fishing? In the world of saltwater fly […]
There, I said it, I underestimated bonefish completely. I underestimated their power, their spookiness, and how vast their habitat can be. I underestimated the entire experience, and I admit it. Now that that is out of the way, I will get to the important stuff; the bonefishing experience at Andros […]
By Jesika Fry As we already know, I love to travel outside of my home state of Texas to toss flies at different species of fish. I have been to lots of different areas in the U.S. to fish, but in August of 2017 I am checking off an international […]

Car camping is when you throw your gear into the car and hit the road. Canoe camping is when you throw your gear into a canoe and hit the water. How about when you throw your gear into a modern jetliner and hit the sky? I’d call that air camping, […]
I watched the trailer for “Running Down the Man” and I was hooked. I like wading for bonefish. I like running for fitness. What could be better than sprinting down some beach after a large, exotic-looking roosterfish? After a fair bit of research, I booked a trip with Grant Hartman […]
With fall approaching and the summer season ending our minds here at Fishwest have been wandering towards fishing destinations around the world. As the season is starting to cool off here it’s about to heat up in the southern hemisphere. The crew at Gin-Clear Media has put together another great […]
