Summer means one thing for a Fisherman, Road trips and hopefully ample amounts of Trout on the dry! After a long drive it was time to get a taste of the water we've been waiting to get on for quite some time now.
What is it about these nasty fish that is getting so much recognition lately? I've been chasing them for years and haven't looked back!
If you've Bonefished, or wanted to on a shoestring budget this is your chance,all of you live 3 miles away from the hardest fighting fish around..try your luck!
Why do we Stillwater fish so much a friend asked me recently, I asked him in return, do you like to catch big fish? He said heck yeah, enough said! It's definitely and acquired taste and not for everyone, but when you get Hooked "Literally" there's nothing that compares to the fight of some of these fish.

Tarpon Fishing Boca Grande, Florida! Late Spring, 2009 Tags: Tarpon on a fly, port charlotte, florida saltwater, boy's weekend
To think of catching a Tapon on a fly is about as good as it get's. What it takes to catch one, or better yet a big one takes about 30 things to go right and a lot of luck! We had a great time in Boca Grand (Tarpon Capitol of the World) recently and to begin telling you how much fun we had wouldn't do it quite justice, so take a look for yourself and book your trip today!
What are your odds when out Chasing Silver's you might ask? Our guide, as well as others, stated that your odds are "1 in 100 to hook a large Tarpon, 1 in 1000 to land one!" I guess the 130lb Silver I lost taught me a lesson or two about that.

It's good to see Trout Unlimited keeping pace with the excitement surrounding the "new" fly fishing filmmaking. They've managed to get Frank Smethurst (of "Running Down the Man" fame) involved in going around the country fishing some of the more at-risk and important resources and turn it all into a TV series called "On the Rise." You can watch the trailer now on MidCurrent.
The Outdoor Channel is the spot to see "On the Rise," and from the looks of the trailer Barrett Productions has done a very polished job of putting this series together. Here's the full schedule of initial airings, find out more at Midcurrent also:
