This headline says it pretty well: Alaska Chooses Largest Gold Mine Over Clean Water
So, you may say to yourself, we can’t address this on a local level, we’re not even remotely close to being residents of Alaska. But could this play out differently as part of the national political platform? After taking in your daily [...]
FLORIDA: Mammalian Fishing Challenge
Posted in Florida, Inshore, Travel, tagged Florida, fishing, redfish, dolphin, west coast Florida, flipper, mullet on August 29, 2008 | No Comments »
Who do you think caught more?
Our boat? (Two redfish.)
Or these stone cold killers?
Watching dolphin work in concert to trap mullet against the mangroves and then literally flip them into the air and eat them made it all worth getting our asses handed to us.

New Fishing Blogs on the Scene
Posted in Florida, Fly Fishing, Freshwater, Inshore, Media, Other Blogs, Travel, tagged fishing blog on August 18, 2008 | No Comments »
Added some new links of late.
Patagonia Flies, a blog about fly fishing in Argentina, written by Alex (pictured above). Had the chance to fish with Alex last week. Good angler, good tyer, and total character.
Carolina Redfish, actually called Capt. Gordon’s Fishing Reports, but what he does is stalk tailing reds in the spartina grass of [...]
FLORIDA: Flamingo Coming Back Eco-style

Via the Day Tripper:
After being waylaid by the last round of hurricanes in Aught Five, the Flamingo lodge has laid dormant like a ghost town at the gateway to some serious fishing. Now they’re going to rebuild it in an eco-friendly manner. Sign me up when it comes to pass.
COSTA RICA: Commercial Fishing Bombing Run

Imagine that while you’re fishing for yellowfin, you are bombarded by small explosives dropped from a helicopter working for a commercial purse seiner. Sounds utterly absurd, but watch this video… it happened in Costa Rica.

Everglades, Again

(A bonnethead….)
Going back down there this week. Baby tarpon and redfish with an 8w are on the mind, but if a bonnethead swims by that wants to take a bucktail on a spinner, who am I to say no? (It is shark week, after all.)
NORTH COUNTRY: Loons and Smallmouth
Posted in Fly Fishing, Freshwater, Northeast, Travel, tagged adirondacks, smallmouth bass, loons on July 7, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Last week brought about the annual 4th of July split trip between the St. Lawrence River and the Adirondacks. Fishing in July is not always optimal so we spent most of our time on the water wakeboarding, waterskiing, and tubing, but on the River we managed to bag smallmouth bass at the right times.
