Catch of the day [Fishing]

Any tips for “just casting the leader”. I’ve got a short fish stick for tight streams, but often my leader is trying to find its way back into the guides (with the weight of the fly line pulling it down). Any hot tips to keep this from happening? Maybe something other than “use a shorter leader?” lol. Maybe there’s no trick and I already know the answer…I just don’t like it.

Ya know, when I think of it, it’s when I’m messing around that it happens (rod tip up and distracted). I’m thinking my first thing to try is to more actively manage my slack between casts and hold the leader on the water downstream or in hand as well. Thanks for getting me thinking…

Landed this bull redfish on the fly down on the Louisiana bayou over my Christmas vacation. One of the highlights of my fishing career!

Nice to have friends that have neighbors with peacocks…can’t wait to tie some flys up! Can immediately tell the difference between this and anything I’ve seen off the shelf. Wild. Waaay more shine. Now…who’s got pheasants…

Epic shots @1WayTrip
What the fuck is this crazy river beast?? How did it taste?
Haha Vundu catfish from Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe.
Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.

Would love to go after Snook one day.

Grass Carp I caught in France a while ago.

My older brother recently sent me this. Back from our first ever sea fishing trip in the mid 80s. Abersoch in North Wales.
We sold the skate to a local restaurant.

We finally got a steelhead, wild so can't keep it, also was my friend not me but felt like victory for both of us as we've been putting in 6-8 hour days on the river together every weekend, very small return each year of hatchery and wild steelhead on the Chilliwack river. Now it's my turn!
