Thankfully we have started to receive some much needed rain. The forecast shows we have more to come in the future. This is great news because I have never seen a Spring with such low water due to the dry Winter we had. When the water rises is one of my favorite times to be [...]
Spring is finally here! We were teased in February with beautiful weather, then March arrived and brought the cold back. Extended forecast for central Virginia looks like Spring is here to stay awhile. Spring brings a lot of options to the fly fisherman in Virginia. One of the most exciting fisheries getting ready to start [...]
Just finished up the Winter muskie fishing and looking forward to focusing on fish that want to eat. The Fall/Winter season was a rough one. Crazy weather and more pressure on these fish than I have ever seen before. Its never easy to catch one but its definitely gotten harder. The past six guided trips [...]
I thought it was Winter still, but this past weekends air temps were in the 60's one day and high 70's the following. The weather has been nutsy coo coo no doubt, but not complaining. Hopefully the warmer than normal temperatures hold out all the way through March. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if I didn't [...]

Winter weather returned this past week after dumping some substantial rain. Cold air temps had returned and it brought its friend windchill. Sidelined most of the week due to high water flows on all of Virginia's rivers, I turned to the fly tying vise for comfort. All though the time at the vise was good [...]
With no guided trips scheduled this past week and no pressing honey do's I went fishing everyday. When you have air temps in the upper 50's and low 60's in January, you got to take advantage. With most of my fishing buddies having normal jobs I spent the week alone on the water except one. [...]
I hope everyone is having a great 2017 so far! My new year is going well. If you are reading this blog entry then you obviously notice the new website. After five years I figured it was time for a change or at least a face lift. Big thanks to my friend Rick for suggesting [...]
Last year I was invited out to fish for false albacore off the NC coast. Fishing had been great from reports but like a lot of us bad luck follows us around. We were a day late and a dollar short, fish just seemed to vanish when we arrived. Thankfully the invite came again this [...]
This week I did my first few musky guided trips of the Fall/Winter season. Started out this past Wednesday with a couple great guys, one from PA and the other a fishing guide in CO. Weather was on the warm side this week, in fact I believe we may have broke some records. I wasn't [...]
