Bucket List Destinations

I had a bunch of free time over the cold, wet, and windy weekend. During breaks between tying flies and editing footage I browsed the interwebs. I stumbled across a awesome flick from a group of guys that invaded the Everglades last month via kayaks and what supplies they could […]

Over the years fishing’s place in my life has transformed itself many times. When I started I went to have fun and hopefully catch fish. Size and quantity were trivial. As I began to grasp the concept my priority moved to catching numbers. The more fish I caught the happier […]

Color Selection 101
