Year: 2011
It’s raining in the Keys. I wish I had more to report, but today it’s wet anglers and guides taking advantage of our tying area + materials, our company, and our large comfy leather chairs. Any and all are welcome. Last night I had dinner with Aaron, Elena and Olivia Snell, and afterwards Aaron and…
Read MoreIt’s raining on and off here, and the fishing has been difficult for those brave enough to sight fish with no visibility. Today’s (and, from what it looks like, the next few days’) weather notwithstanding, the fishing is great. Typical of July there are a fair number of smaller tarpon around, and bonefish and permit…
Read MoreAs many of you have heard by now, Jack Charlton passed away on 10 June, 2011. The news of his death was made public on 15 June. I realize it has taken a while for me to write something here. I did not know Jack Charlton, personally, very well. We have been phone/email frends for…

David then took a crack at a single bonefish, and we moved along to find some schools of bonefish over white sand. Quite quickly, we boated a small bonefish…
Read MoreThe tarpon are still around, though most of the reports I have been hearing center around the great bonefish and permit fishing that’s been going on lately. Many anglers and guides are heading in to the typical skinny spots, looking for tailing permit and schools of summer bonefish to play with instead of ocean side…
Read MoreLily Cardenas found a pushpole…unkown make/model, but if you lost one please contact me here at the shop and I’ll get you some information. In other news, the evening tarpon fishing has been great, as well as some good tailing permit and bonefish in the gloaming. You can see a picture here of David Miller,…
Read MoreA few weeks ago, I hired a young angler to put an Angling Company sticker “somewhere cool”, take a photograph, and bring it back so I could put it on the website. Here’s the thing: Mr. Chalmers Allen did a bang-up job, and he is the owner of a new Angling Company fly box with…
Read MoreHere are some photo providings from Aaron Snell and I drying them off: More to come, I can’t upload photos to the report page more than 3 at a time. Regards, Nathaniel/TAC
Read MoreDay 1: Aaron and I, after a morning spent dealing with lower unit issues, got out on the water at 10 AM. We began by chasing the six, looking in vain for some fish in the shallow areas that would accomodate light line capture. After a few shots at fish that didn’t appear large enough,…
