      I'm organising a Bonefishing expedition to Andros  (Bonefishing capital of the world) in The Bahamas next spring.  It will be for a week.  If you want the fly fishing experience of your life, PM me…..

        had a great nights fishing last night. just as the sun had set, i got a serious bite. reel started screaming like crazy and i immediately knew what i had hooked; a sea trout! the fish was probably 60-70 metres out when it started swimming towards the big rocks i was standing on, but 50 metres to the right of me. i was running out of line so the rock hopping commenced. after approx 10 min i landed a beautiful silver torpedo weighing 6 lbs. i was using light gear so the adrenaline was out the roof!

                Great story Peter, I agree 100% the light weight gear is absolutely the most fun! congrats on landing it!

                This is how I spent this last week.  My brother in-law and father in-law enter the local salmon derby each year on Lake Huron, it's usually freezing and raining and the fishing is pretty slow, but if you stick with it there are some pretty huge fish in there.  Took some pics, figured I'd throw a few up.  Only one fish worth taking a shot of, 14.75 salmon, put up a big fight and made a mess of all of the lines in the water, but it was fun anyway! My father in-law was the lucky one!

                First day out, spent 8hrs in the fog, could only see roughly 10ft in any direction.  Long, slow, very disorienting.
                🙂

                Day 2, on the way out, sun just coming up. 

                Day 3 the nicest day of the week,

                Love the water colour

                Here's the fish.

                We never usually get many fish in the boat, but it doesn't seem to deter us in the slightest!! Always end up having a great time  🙂

                      I envy you guys who make it out onto big water often-  I fly fish the streams and forest preserves around Chicago.  It's almost all heavily stocked water with a lot of traffic, but still, I love it…

                        G have you had much interest in the spring fly trip?  I'd be keen to know costs, timing etc.  it's probably out of my reach, but you never know..

                                          Didnt see anything. The water was unusually warmer then usual. Had a peaceful morning anyway.

                                            after years of collecting dust, i just sorted some stuff and can't wait to get started again 😘
