Avoid Killing Summertime Trout
Summertime in the South is tough on trout. Unfortunately, I received a reminder of this recently when a rainbow in the 20-inch class died in my hands after I’d spent more than 20 minutes trying to revive it.
Reel Recovery: Coming Together Through Fishing
Chairs scraping the linoleum, gentle murmurs and a hushed undertone of intermittent conversation fill the room. Fourteen fly fishermen and their buddies sit down for the evening meal on the first day. Just two hours ago they were complete strangers, but they have now begun to form a strong positive bond based upon their mutual arch-enemy: cancer.

While our reefs are home to a few “resident” goliath grouper that are spotted consistently throughout the year, one by one more and more of these fish begin arriving as summer starts to fade away into fall.
