  • What is a Gyno Crab

    Dr. Ralph Cifaldi’s Gyno Crab – Tied by Doug Schlink

    The Gyno Crab as tied by Doug Schlink
    Mid-Morning Permit Snack

    Hook: Daiichi X452 or similar in #2 or #4
    Thread: Danvilles Flat Wax, Fl. Green
    Weight: Lead Eyes – sized to water depth and hook size
    Tail: Appx 2 – 2 ½ inches, Polar bear, dyed golden orange (Rit golden yellow dye does it) and barred with a dark brown (*) marking pen
    Body: 8 pieces of Tan Aunt Lydia’s Rug Yarn (Antron) figure-eighted in (Merkin fashion) on top of hook shank, and trimmed to appx dime shape.
    Legs: 2 (**) Amber/flecked black Sili-Legs, square knotted in (Merkin style), trimmed slightly long (about 1 inch) and set with Krazy Glue (***)

     * I didn’t have a dark brown pen, just dark umber. The barring should be darker – more contrasting.
    ** While conventional wisdom would dictate 3 legs (per side), Ralph contends permit can’t count, so this is tied true to his original pattern (which worked, so apparently they can’t count).
    *** I didn’t have any Krazy Glue handy – just used some head cement. Ralph put drops of Krazy Glue on the legs near the edges of the yarn body (and worked into the yarn slightly) to keep these sticking out at the appropriate angles.

  • Why Bonefish in the Bahamas?

    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 outer islands, like Acklins.  Group member Alec Kempe was describing a photograph taken after dinner on their last night said, “Shirley gave a speech in which she quoted Shakespeare from Romeo & Juliet “Parting is such sweet sorrow”; Peter baked us a wonderful cake & as a finale, Peter, Lavanda (wonderful singing voice) & Shirley sung to us. What a great show of appreciation & warmth – really a nice family!”

    That being said, the other reason to bonefish in the Bahamas is, well, BONEFISH!!!  Here’s a nice “10-pounder” landed by Pierce Walmsely.  Alec Kempe prefaced the image of Pierce’s bonefishng with “Lemon sharks & ‘cudas were all over us that day.  Gator kept Lemons from eating this particular fish with some great pole-on-the-sharks-head work.”

    Grey’s Point Bonefish Inn is one of the unique destinations where almost 100% of the fishing is done wading, unless you choose to fish from the skiff.  Want more information on Grey’s Point or fishing the out islands of the Bahamas – call Angler Adventures at 800-628-1447 (860-434-9624) or drop us an email at info@angleradventures.com.

  • Peacock Bass Fishing: “Savage” describes these Brutes in the Amazon, Brazil

    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. The fishing areas in the Amazon are extremely remote, so using a high quality, experienced outfitter is a necessity. We recommend 2 outfitters: Agua Boaand River Plate Anglers.

    Agua Boa Amazon Lodge

    Agua Boa is a conventional lodge situated on the banks of the Agua Boa River, a tributary to the Rio Negro. What separates Agua Boa from other Peacock Bass lodges is that the fishing is limited to catch and release, fly fishing only.

    The rates at Agua Boa are $5,300 per person from October 8 to December 31, 2011, and $5,500 per person from January 1 to April 14. Rates are based on double occupancy accommodations and a shared boat / guide daily.

    • Fly Fishing Only
    • Forbes Magazine’s Top 10 Lodges in 2010
    • Sight fishing for Peacocks
    • Limited to 12 anglers

    River Plate Anglers

    River Plate has been hosting anglers since 1992, and they’ve evolved their operation over 30 years to offer a unique fishing program based around floating cabins and exclusive leases on Native and Government Reserves. These floating cabins give anglers multiple benefits over fixed lodges, mainly the ability to move to new fisheries every few days to guarantee shorter boat rides / less fishing pressure and the flexibility to move if the water conditions aren’t ideal.

    • Fly and Conventional Fishing
    • Access to unpressured or unfished water
    • Flexibility to move during high / dirty water
    • Spacious, Comfortable, Air Conditioned floating cabin accommodations
    • Mothership option

  • It’s time to book Summer 2013 for the best dates and BIG fish in Alaska

    It’s time to book Summer 2013 for the best dates and BIG fish in Alaska

    Alaska is synonymous with catching big fish, and lots of fish, in an environment that is wild, rugged and plentiful, like few left on earth. In a week it is possible to catch 10 kinds of the world’s greatest game fish, a different species every day. Or, you may choose to go with only one goal; catching the biggest rainbow of your life. Everything is possible.

    In the Bristol Bay watershed, where the lodges we represent are located, the season extends from mid-June to the end of September. Click here for a calendar explaining when each species can be caught. Many fisherman plan Alaska trips around one or more species of Salmon, realizing that trout, char, dolly varden, pike, and grayling are available season long.

    If you want to pursue rainbows with a dry fly, focus on June and July. But, if it’s a trophy rainbow you’re after, they’ll be several pounds heavier in August and September.

    We’ve expanded and improved our website.

    Chip Bates, Doug Schlink and Judy Hall have been booking Alaska for 25 years. Chip has visited 22 different Alaska Lodges, with Doug and Judy not far behind. It costs you nothing to tap into this wealth of experience and knowledge.

    Alaska attracts a healthy number of repeat clients. By late-October, 90% of the repeats are locked and loaded, making NOW the absolute best time for new clients to grab prime dates.
