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 [...]
Fall is a wonderful time of year but also a bit depressing for me. Yes the air temperature is comfortable and the leaves changing colors are nice to look at. But the down side to Fall other than raking and blowing leaves till January, is the smallmouth bass season has come to a close for [...]
Just got back from a great trip to Colorado where guiding all started for me. Took some clients of mine out with me to fish some of the best rivers in the state. We hired my good friend Pat Dorsey, who gave me my first job as a guide many years ago. It was awesome [...]
It has been a damn fine September so far. Smallmouth bass fishing the James River continues to produce citations caught on topwater flies. 4 citations the past three days this week, with the longest fish of the summer hitting the net at 22 inches. Heading to Colorado soon for 6 days. Looking forward to getting [...]
The only way to describe the past week of fishing is incredible. Multiple big fish have hit the net each trip along with others unfortunately lost. Todays trip the James River gave up one 20 inch, three 19's, and couple 18 inch smallmouth bass. Big bass are really cruising the banks and hanging in the [...]
