3 Days in Baja!

I recently traveled to the East Cape in Baja for an awesome saltwater trip. I went with a buddy of mine Larry. We spent 3 days fishing for Roosters and Jack Crevelle in 23' pangas inshore. Larry being the more experienced saltwater fly angler did very well hooking and landing several nice Roosters. I managed to hook several but only landed 1 fish. But, I am hooked on this saltwater stuff. The fish strike hard, run far and put up a strong fight. We stayed at an awesome resort called Rancho Leonero. This place had great food, rooms and of course fishing. Our guide was Jeff deBrown from the Reel Baja. Jeff was very knowledgeable and worked very hard to get us hooked-up. Not many people traveling to Mexico with the Flu scare. Ironically, there are no cases of the flu in Baja! If you have ever wanted to try saltwater fly-fishing this is a great place to start. I am planning a future trip now if anybody is interested, please contact me.

A Morning on the Truckee

Got out yesterday at 6:30 AM to fish the Truckee @ Mayberry Park with a friend in town from Arizona. A beautiful day on the river, no other anglers most of the day! The higher flows must have scared most of the players away. Rigged up the 9 foot 5 weight with a double nymph rig of a golden stone and a baetis dropper. Started to drift my flies in my favorite run and after a few drifts hooked into one of the larger size 20" wild rainbows that inhabit the river. He jumped and threw the fly. That would be the story all day. Could not keep any fish on the fly, but hooked quite a few. Saw these bachelor ducks moving downstream as well. All in all it was a nice day on the river and my friend enjoyed fishing the experience.
