Fly of the Month: Garners Carp Dancer

Carp on the fly has swept across the fly fishing community in recent years. I first began targeting carp near a local golf course where I worked.

Freshwater Mexico!

Let’s talk about fresh water for a change. Mexico has the best bass fishing in the world. Well, that’s what I think. There are three lakes that Charles and I fish.

Carp for Continual Summer Fun!

Carp, a Eurasian fish introduced here in the late 1870s, were thought to be a handy gamefish to replace the loss of native fishes along with being a yummy meal.

Seeing is Believing-Fish Senses

The answer is simple and complex at the same time. Have you ever wondered whether fish can really see color and, if so, what do they actually see?

A Fishing Half Day Well Spent

Sometimes the most simple of fishing trips can become a true bucket list memory. Last fall two friends and I decided to sneak out of work for a quick half-day outing to some local marsh southwest of our hometown of Lafayette, LA. What started out as a quick chance to get a fishing fix turned into a bonding experience for all of us.

Why Try Technical Diving?

Tec diving is obstacle-ridden and humbling, but can reignite a fading passion. It can leave you with a sense of accomplishment and a refined set of diving skills. It grants access to depths beyond recreational limits, where lesser-known shipwrecks and deep reefs lie, waiting to be explored.
