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 […]
With the entire state of Utah seemingly on flood watch – in addition to other parts of Idaho and Wyoming – us anglers are having a hard time finding “good” water. While having too much precipitation this winter is a problem we’re grateful to live with, it does mean the […]
I grew up in a family of fly tiers. My grandfather tied commercially for 27 years, my father tied for personal use for the better part of a decade, and once they both stopped tying I got lucky and inherited all their materials. Like any tier, I have my own […]

Texas is pretty warm year-round, with the lowest temperature all winter usually reaching about 30º Fahrenheit. While lots of waters are frozen in other states, Texas waters stay flowing throughout the entire […]
Part 1 of 2: A look at what goes through the mind of an offshore newbie during the dog days of August… I have pulled on a few tarpon and bonefish but I am a complete neophyte to the realm of fly fishing for sailfish. So please don’t take this […]
Winter is my favorite time of year to fly fish. Spring is incredible – cutthroat runs are a beauty to watch – and the big terrestrial hatches of summer mean I can fish the same size 4 Chernobyl ant patterns for about a month straight. Fall is big brown and […]
Like many things in fly fishing, selecting the proper tools can be an intimidating task. However, it doesn’t have to be. First of all any angler must be able to evaluate what type of fishing they will be doing. Chances are that as a trout angler you won’t ever find […]
As I write this I’m looking out my office window at a light dusting of snowflakes, mesmerized – and distracted – by how lazily they carousel to the ground. The flakes are just part of the umpteenth snow storm this winter – a winter of almost more snow than I […]
Do you have trouble casting in the wind or are you heading down to the salt this year? Practicing your cast and adapting to changing weather are a few of the largest factors to make your next trip more of a success. Check out this video from Deneki Outdoors and […]
I have to admit 2016 was a great year for me and trout on the fly. I wasted no time catching my first trout on New Years of 2016, a little Bonneville Cutthroat through a gap in a lake covered with ice. I caught nearly every trout species Utah has […]
