I couldn't imagine my life without flyfishing.  My plan is to spend my retirement on the flats chasing bones, permit, tarpon, and barracuda.  I've landed one tarpon on a fly rod, jumped, two, and missed several takes.  I was baitfishing for bones with my son, but launched a big streamer at a 4-foot blacktip shark.  The take was amazing!  I went to set the hook, but the fly popped out and shark just sat there like nothing happened.  I'm always up for a flyfishing trip!

I don't get to fish as much as I used too, but I still love it.  Thankfully I have some great memories catching some great fish.

Back at my computer with my fishing pics.  Some of my favs from my flyfishing adventures.  I caught my one and only (so far) tiger trout on a #14 Royal Wulff that my son tied for me.  That's a personal favorite that I don't have pics of handy.

Yes, a small tarpon.  Don't let the size fool you, though.  It jumped three times and still put a helluva bend in my 9-wt!
