Spent the better part of a day fly fishing for trout in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The place is absolutely polluted with great scenery, history, trout...and some Elk thrown in. I haven't fished this place in 24 years. Great to visit some old finned friends. Caught brown, rainbow, and brook trout. Come join me on an excursion into paradise.

I go a trout fly fishing in an area I have not fished in 26+ years. It is a special place...or used to be but time has not been kind. Instead of the expected easy wading and stream access, I found log jam after log jam. Also, the underbrush had grown up to the point that getting back to the trail from the creek was almost impossible except for a handful of spots. A lot of hiking, a lot of climbing over downfalls and a lot of trying to find the trail thru thick brush. However, I caught a few and they average a little bigger than my last 2 trout videos. Thanks for visiting enjoy the show!

A small taste of what to expect if you paddle the Hell's Bay Canoe Trail in Everglades National Park. I did it to explore for fishing spots but this video might help the recreational paddler have an idea of what to expect. No fish were caught in the making of this video. Hope you guys enjoy or learn something from watching this. Thanks!

Part 2 of Bass Day in Snook Country. Fly Fishing the Everglades for Large Mouth Bass. Watch Part 1 : https://youtu.be/zGRyKmmJYC8 No, you are not in the Matrix, I had compile problems and had to chop up the video and remake it 2 times...and I made a mistake. One small part repeats.

Went fly fishing for snook in the Everglades but they did not show up! Who did? Mr Bucketmouth and quite of few of his BFFs. Fly fishing for large mouth bass in the Glades makes a fantastic Plan B. 2nd fish is a doozy!

Fly Fishing a new pond in the Everglades NP for snook. Caught a few, wind was a pain, but managed a few fish and a bonus Bowfin!

Let's take a walk thru of my Old Town Pack canoe and I discuss the why of selecting my boat and the why behind my customization's. I also talk about the pros and cons of canoes, kayaks, and pontoon boats. Included are some tips on transporting and essential gear. Hopefully you will find some information that you can use in your boat buying and customizing decisions. I am not an expert but have many years of fishing out of canoes, yaks, and a few pontoons on small creeks, rivers, ponds, lakes, and inshore tidal creeks. Maybe some of my experience can benefit some of you guys buying your first boat or maybe you are thinking of changing boats or looking for ways to customize your existing boat for a more fun fishing experience.

I was driving to another fishing spot when I noticed that the small canal (ditch) just looked too good to pass by without giving it a try. Lets just say the Everglades never ceases to amaze! Peacock Bass on the Fly is not a bad way to spend your time. No monsters were caught but I had a ball.

End of the day with more Fly Fishing for Peacock Bass and having fun. Come join me as I fish where I haven't before and get lucky. Thanks for Watching!

Fly Fishing for Peacock Bass! I went back to the Everglades and caught my first Peacock Bass on a fly rod. I then proceeded to catch quite a few more Hope you guys n gals enjoy the show and thanks for coming along on my trip!

Hello! Went fishing last Saturday with a great friend on a very famous river in the south east. A tail water polluted with trout. The hatch that was supposed to be epic...not so epic (3 years ago we hit it when it was EPIC) but we still caught fish. A bad day on this river is a good day on another. Perspective! Hope you enjoy the video. Trust me, it was fun making it. Thanks for watching!

Went fly fishing for trout on a very popular fly fish only catch and release river in western NC. It was tough going but right before I left a hatch broke out and I caught a few trout. In the right place at the right time with the right fly...and I made fewer mistakes than usual!

I got an addiction, yeah, snook on the fly in Florida in the winter. I live and work in Greenville, SC so I got off work on a Thursday, drove all night down to the Glades. Tried some freshwater bass in canals early Friday morning but a cold front shut them down so drove to Everglades City area and went snook fishing. Here is the results. Enjoy!

Fly Fishing in the Everglades for snook and anything else.
