We all have that one friend in our lives that takes a hobby to the next level. This week we have another destination fly fishing experience from our Fishwest Ambassador, Chad Agy. He traveled to Columbia in search of Pacu! Enjoy his story of “Lord of The Worms.” We […]
Another long post. An overwhelming amount of information that will hopefully arm you with what you need to successfully catch some permit! Let us mention again, that the suggestions we offer are specific to our time fishing saltwater and may not be what everyone else does. Try to be subjective when you read […]
Last year I picked the Temple Fork Outfitters NXT Black Label Fly Reel and a spare spool (grabbed the spare spool so that I could have a floating line and sinking tip line ready to swap out at a moment’s notice). The reel has a simple and clean look. TFO […]
Chad Agy, Fishwest Ambassador and his friend Brian set off on a remote float trip adventure last August. One that not only made memories for a lifetime, but one that left them with a startling experience. Enjoy continuing to read their experience in, The Alaska Chronicles – Don’t Mess With […]
I don’t know what it is about bull trout, but I am fully addicted. It could be their elusive nature, and no, I don’t mean they are hard to catch. What I do mean is they are often hard to find. Once you do find them, it can be a […]

Does it feel like the whole world is on fire? Too soon? Definitely not a joking matter, but we can’t get a break from the heat waves and fires. Well, minus the rain storm we had last week, hopefully that aided in putting out the Summit area fire. Regardless, we’re […]
The Guide’s Nymph: a pattern that goes by many different names, can be tied in an infinite variation of colors and styles, and can represent any number of different aquatic insects. The number one great thing about this pattern is it’s ease to tie, depending on the chosen variation it […]
If you’re reading this, you’re probably planning on or considering taking a saltwater trip somewhere, so congratulations! As with any destination fishery, it’s wise to familiarize yourself with what you’ll be doing before you arrive. Fishing style, techniques, gear, and anything else. Familiarity can mean many things, from simply making […]
I heaved my cast in to the roiling rapids for the thousandth time that day. The sun was setting on my last day of payara fishing during a recent trip to Colombia, and I wanted to hold just one more of these impressive predators. I stripped my heavy sinking line […]
