• Peacock Bass are aggressive, territorial ambush hunters, known for explosive strikes and tackle busting runs. These fish are nearly unstoppable on their first few runs. “Savage” is the word the best describes these brutes, putting them high on the bucket list for fly and conventional anglers alike. Add the exotic backdrop of the Amazon rainforest and you have the makings of a singularly spectacular outdoor experience. Brazil is the most famous and productive Peacock Bass fishery in the world, offering anglers the chance at catching numbers of Peacocks as well as trophies over 20 lbs.

  • Labrador’s Giant Brook Trout, fly fishing for giant brookies from Minipi Camps and Crooks Lake Lodge

    How often can you say, “I just fished a place that’s as good as it was 60 years ago”? Since Lee Wulff first explored Labrador’s vast Minipi watershed in the last 50’s, it remains virtually unchanged and still is, as Lee proclaimed it, the greatest trophy Brook Trout fishery in the world. To veteran anglers, the name “Minipi” conjures images of gigantic Brook Trout slurping beefy Mayflies in a wilderness setting that rivals Alaska. Minipi trout are big – 5 pounds on average. Brookies to over 10 pounds have been taken, and 5 of the current 7 fly rod world records…

  • Grand Slam Season is Your Best Chances to Land the Big Three: Bonefish, Permit, and Tarpon

    If you’re primarily interested in Bonefish, we recommend the Bahamas. There are dozens of lodges to fit everyone’s criteria. The bonefish are bigger on average and the big bones in the Bahamas dwarf the grandés in Mexico or Belize. If it’s Permit you’re after, we recommend the Yucatan of Mexico, where more permit are landed on a fly than anywhere we book. If Tarpon are your focus, we recommend Belize. El Pescador and Tarpon Caye are unique, having a year round population of tarpon. When the big, migratory tarpon appear in late spring, early summer, Belize River Lodge and Turneffe Flats become hotspots, as well. Don’t forget the…

  • One of the top 3 questions we get asked is, “When is the best time to go bonefishing?”  While the answer varies on the anglers’ expectations and their destination, here’s a good argument for fishing the winter months by Doug Schlink of Angler Adventures.  For years I’ve heard that you shouldn’t go bonefishing in the winter months (December, January, February, even March) because of the risk of cold fronts.  I’ve also heard and read that bonefish are temperature sensitive and it’s futile to fish in water temperatures under 70 degrees Fahrenheit.  Hogwash!  In 25 years of booking bonefish trips…

  • EXCERPTED FROM FLY FISHING INTERNATIONAL Early this century, John Goodall, the manager of the now famous Menendez Estate, stocked the first fingerlings into the Rio Grande.  His intention was to provide some trout fishing for himself and other enthusiasts.  Little did he know that he was creating what has become one of the greatest sea trout rivers of all. The fingerlings thrived and a resident population established itself but there was not enough food to sustain them.  Nature’s answer was to send the fish to sea to the rich Antarctic feeding grounds.  Hence, a strain of large sea-run brown…

  • Beyond the Blue Bonefishing in South Caicos Island, Turks and Caicos offers a hidden hot spot for bonefishing

    Turks & Caicos is a fraction of the size of the Bahamas, but it’s still an immense fishery with just one bonefish lodge, Beyond the Blue Bonefish Charters in South Caicos. Less than 140 anglers fish here annually. When you cover mile upon mile of its gorgeous, shallow flats by airboat and never see a “prop scar”, you realize no one else fishes here. It’s all wading. There are no skiffs. Your only form of transportation on the water is a 24 foot airboat powered by a 454 Chevy engine or one of 4 paddleboards. The bonefish can be…

  • St. Brandon’s & Farquhar: If they were easy to get to, the fishing wouldn’t be this FANTASTIC!

    “Don’t expect to see this every week”, Gerhard Laubscher, owner of FlyCastaway told his audience in Darien, CT on July 18, 2012. But you get the idea. Start with a remote island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, add less than 100 anglers a year, and you’ll find bonefish that behave differently. Giant Trevally’s (GT’s) and Permit too. Although this picture was taken at Farquhar, the bonefishing is even better on St. Brandon’s. After seeing his presentation, no one in the room doubted Gerhard’s pronouncement, “St. Brandon’s is the best bonefishing on the planet for both numbers and…

  • World Class Bahamas Bonefishing in South Andros Island, Bahamas

    In recent years the southern tip and southwest side of Andros Island, Bahamas, has become one of the hottest bonefishing destinations in the world. South Andros is a relatively new spot on the angling map and is comprised of vast, unpressured flats, tidal creeks, mangroves and unique inland lakes. Few other locales offer such a diversity of bonefishing habitats, and visitors to south Andros can often experience all of them in the same day. Roaming these remote waters are schools of unsophisticated 2- to 4-pound bonefish numbering in the thousands. Anglers will also find bigger, warier bonefish and the…

  • Atlantic salmon anglers have been pleasantly astonished by the incredible numbers of salmon returning to the rivers of Atlantic Canada this season. Many fish counting stations have reported near record numbers and many veterans are proclaiming 2011 the best salmon fishing in nearly 50 years! While there has been an upward trend in recent years, no one can explain this huge spike in 2011. But it is pretty clear that “buy outs” of commercial fisheries coupled with catch & release regulations, now mandated on many Quebec and Newfoundland rivers as well as New Brunswick, are paying huge dividends.

  • Chubut River Float: Unspoiled Trout Fishing in Patagonia, Argentina

    There are few places left in the world like the Chubut River, and fewer still that offer non-stop dry fly fishing for good-sized browns and rainbows. The Chubut is so remote, most of its trout have never seen a fly and you won’t see a car, airplane or another human for 4 days. Most anglers fish exclusively with dry flies and loose count of the trout landed in the 12 – 22 inch range, with a few larger fish ending up in the net. The 65-mile Chubut float starts at the “Vuelta del Rio” (turn of the river), where the river…

  • One of the biggest mistakes a bonefisherman can make is failing to adjust his fly to changing water depth.  Your fly should be weighted such that it sinks quickly to the bottom and then stays near the bottom within view of the fish after you begin stripping.  If you strip the fly above a bonefish, it will never see it. The average flat depth, whether you’re wading or poling, ranges from 1-2½ ft.  In this depth, a Gotcha or Amber Shrimp with medium sized bead chain eyes should provide close to the perfect sink rate, without overweighing the fly…

  • Having worked in the fly fishing travel industry for 25 years, I’m sometimes asked, “what’s your favorite fish to fish for?”.   Without hesitation I answer, “if I had to give up all species except one, I would keep Atlantic salmon”.  The question that frequently follows is, “why?”. You know, that’s a damn good question.  Lord knows I have suffered through long and painful droughts when the salmon had not yet come in, had already gone upriver, or when they were there and for a myriad of reasons, would not rise to the fly.  Yet, they sometimes do rise to…

I’m an extremist member of that congregation. I’m celebrating a half century of fly fishing this year. I’ve seen my passion for the sport get more and more focused over the years. In the 70’s, I caught my first bonefish on a fly in the Bahamas. In the 80’s, I…

  • Cuba Flats Fishing: Cuba Lives Up To The Hype

    Days after Evan Peterson’s return from the amazing live aboard fisheries at the Jardines de la Reina archipelago, Doug Schlink headed south to fish the land based Cuban fisheries; Cayo Largo (home of the Avalon Fly) off the southwest coast and the permit rich Cayo Cruz to the North. Despite Avalon having fished some of these waters for 18 years, Evan and Doug concluded the fisheries are so vast and the fishing pressure so light, these are “virgin” waters compared to most known flats destinations. The bones are relaxed, the permit are eaters, and the tarpon attack every fly…
