Looking Back on the Midfjardara

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year since we fished the Midfjardara River in Iceland. It doesn’t seem nearly that long ago and the memories are still fresh. One afternoon I rose ten fish on eight casts. Thankfully after the tenth, all went quiet because I don’t think that my nerves could have handled much more. Rabbi… Continue »

Fourth Time’s the Charm?

Out-smarted again. A smallmouth bass, in the four-pound range, eluded me for the third time yesterday. Three of the four times that I’ve checked in on this spot this summer, there it is…calling my name from a deep hole along a rock bank. With each encounter, the fish charges my fly, then refuses just inches away. And with each encounter,… Continue »

February in New Orleans

Buck fever.   That’s what they call it when a hunter freezes or does something stupid during the perfect moment to attack their prey. I prefer to call it temporary retardation and it’s a talent that I consistently excel at. Perhaps this is why I fish such large rivers in my home province of BC, Canada. Wide runs and Spey rods, boulders and… Continue »

Cutties

They don’t jump like a rainbow, they don’t pull like a brown, they don’t crunch streamers like bulls… but there’s something about a Westslope Cutty that I just love! Maybe it’s their willingness to eat dries, or maybe it’s just their beauty, but whatever the reason, I absolutely love fishing them! It had been four years since I had caught… Continue »

An Encounter with an Albino gar

I’ve spent the better part of every Summer over the last 8 or 9 years on the shallow, warm falts of the Bay of Quinte, each day on the water spent scouring them in search of the next record gar.  In all that time, it wasn’t until today that I came  across the first albino gar that I’ve ever seen….
