Fly of the Month: Conner’s Nutter Butter
The Nutter Butter is a great pattern that falls toward the natural color palette, featuring mostly tans and browns and natural material like coyote fur. Something I have noticed is these subtle colors can draw a strike when brighter colors will not, making streamers like the Nutter Butter a staple for any streamer fisher’s box.Jan 22nd, 20250

Wading the South Indian River Lagoon
Wading puts you in the water with the fish. You are now part of their element, and this gives you an advantage over a noisy boat with a motor or trolling motor and anglers bumping around on it. As a wader, you can silently fish under piers and under mangrove branches where boats can’t go or even approach without spooking the fish.Jan 17th, 20250

The Other World Cup
I came to Kona, Hawaii with the understanding that it had fish—big fish. I had previously fished the World Cup in Cape Verde, off the coast of Africa, and Madeira, off the coast of Morocco, but I never saw a fish over 500 pounds when it counted. Still, I thought of the Blue Marlin World Cup Championship—one day of fishing for blue marlin over 500 pounds with boats competing from all around the world—as the greatest tournament out there. When I first heard about it, I knew all my Fourths of July would be spent fishing.Aug 15th, 2014

This information twists and turns inside as I think about the miles that some of our party have travelled to be here.Aug 15th, 2014National, Travel
