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 […]
Fly Fishing

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Every year I try and plan a multiday trip where I am off by myself fishing without any phones, email, kids, or other distractions. Some years I hike and fish, while others I take a road trip and try a bunch of new spots. This year in May I decided […]
I was out fishing over Labor Day weekend (something I usually avoid doing, due to crowds, but this year it was unfortunately my only free time to fish) when I noticed something. Of the 7 fly boxes I carry in my vest (Tacky Boxes) I find myself consistently reaching for […]
I’ve often wondered how the art of fly fishing translates across the globe into foreign waters. I’ve always been intrigued by the possible similarities and differences it takes hold of through cultural variances. That curiosity lead me to reach out to one of the most passionate female anglers I have […]
Most stories about sight fishing take place somewhere like Florida or the Bahamas, where the sun is shining and it’s warm outside. This story took place in Manitoba’s Parkland region, a world class destination for stillwater trout. Don’t take my word for it, however, since Manitoba is my home province. […]
