We really like the “half again” leader formula – it’s easy to remember, turns over bonefish flies nicely, and can be easily adjusted to fit a variety of conditions. Especially for Bonefishing, we find that the simpler the leader the better. The “half-again” leader starts with a long butt, then half again, half again. For […]

We think bonefish are special too. Here’s why Dick Brown thinks so: “Why bones are special—The bonefish is the nearest thing there is to a perfect gamefish for fly-fishing anglers. A voracious predator, it readily (but warily) takes flies. It accelerates faster and sprints farther than any other fish you take on light tackle. It […]

A great example comes from a group of ours that just got back from Grey’s Point Bonefish Inn, Acklins Island, Bahamas. There is something special about Bahamas bonefishing that isn’t found wading a flat or casting to tailing fish. The charm and arms wide open welcome of the Bahamas is even more apparent in the […]

As a travel agency specializing in international fishing travel, we’re regularly asked how to travel with fishing tackle.

This is accomplished by wrapping your hand and around the “wrist” of their tail (known as the caudal peduncle), just in front of […]

Belize is a great destination for anglers traveling during the summer months due to its neo to sub-tropical climate, whose daytime temperatures only vary between 10 – 15 degrees over the course of a year. This consistency makes the fishing in Belize fairly predictable, as well as productive, each month of the year. The following […]
