The 14th annual Fly Fishing Film Tour is hitting the road and headed to Salt Lake City with a fresh catch of new films. Featuring exclusive shorts from our friends coast to coast, and beyond, we’ll tell the stories of everything from fishing guide fairytales, to serial steelhead semantics, canyon […]
Tabasco is the state in Mexico that lies along the curve of the Gulf, just below the Yucatan. Offshore oil is big business there and it is not on the radar of most tourists nor fly anglers. Nevertheless, based on a trip I took in early July, here are 12 […]
For the second year in a row I had a chance to take part in the Fishwest trip to the Northern Yucatan town of San Felipe to fish for sabalitos (Spanish for baby tarpon) with the great guides and staff of Yucatan Fly Fishing Adventures at their outfit, the Tarpon […]

Here is what he said to say about his experience: Tarpon Cay Lodge, in cooperation with the Hotel San Felipe de Jesus, […]
(A sample of the fishing and – the non-fishing – in Cabo San Lucas.) To me, a “non-fishing” vacation involves fishing – just not the majority of the time. So even for a “non-fishing” vacation, I research the fishing possibilities well before any flights get booked. And I’m sure you […]
I find myself reflecting on my first international fly fishing adventure. One of my biggest concerns going in was the safe transportation of my gear to my destination. My experiences traveling around the US and internationally playing hockey have taught me to expect the worst with any checked luggage. Countless […]
