We left early on Monday to get to the Flamingo ramp by 6:30. Andy put us on fish, though none appeared to be of sufficient size for our intended goal of breaking the 6 lb record. By 11:30, boxed in by storms and feeling the electricity in the air, we elected to take it to…

Yesterday I fished with John O’Hearn and David Dalu. We left at 6:30 and immediately found a few tarpon rolling around, though only managed to feed the fly to two. In retrospect, we all felt as though we should have put a few more in the air, but the conditions were such that the tarpon…

So here’s a good one: Fishing remains great out there, and the wind seems to be coopreating more lately. Regards, ncl/tac

There was a lapse in the information flow about fishing on the flats during mini-season. This annual “boater fest” keeps most flats captains at home catching up on some much needed rest or joining the crowd and trying to get their limit of lobsters before the season proper opens on 5 August. As far as…

Fishing on the flats remains great–now that the wind is blowing a bit the permit bite is on, and the bonefish and smaller tarpon remain. If ever there was a time for a slam, this is it! As soon as I have some photos I’ll post them here. Regards, ncl/tac

After the Del Brown, I’ve enjoyed doing anything other than permit fishing. Fishing that tough, while awesome in it’s own special way, is very much like watching “There Will Be Blood”: great movie, well acted, super soundtrack, but after watching it I’m good with not watching anything serious for a while. With that in mind,…

The Del Brown this year was challenging. Between water temperatures approaching the 90’s in the afternoon, a complete lack of wind and cloud cover that made sight fishing nearly impossible, the conditions redefined difficult. At the end of day one, not a single team of the 14 competing in the tournament had hooked a fish.…

The bonefishing is great at the moment, as is the permit fishing. In fact, right now would be a great time to slam, as there are still a fair number of small(er) tarpon around. Tomorrw I pre-fish for the Del Brown with Aaron, and I’m hoping to get out tonight to grease the groove with…

The permit are around. I had a number of shots last evening with Captain Ray Vasquez, and there have been many captures/sightings recently of some larger than average fish. We looked for some bonefish as well, but did not see any. Here is some evidence, courtesy Aaron Snell: I am gearing up for the Del…

The weather is fantastic today, and everyone seems to be out there enjoying the great bonefish and permit fishing. New flies are on the way from Dave Skok,just in time for the Del Brown next Monday through Wednesday. I’m fishing tomorrow evening with Captain Ray Vasquez, looking to grease the permit groove before pre-fshing for…

Despite the fact that the last link I put up here didn’t work right away, I’m trying it again. Click the link at the bottom of the report for more NZ trout action, courtesy of my brother and mother. While it’s not raining today, it remains overcast and the forecast is for cloud cover and…

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…

It’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…

As 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…

My apologies for the absence of anything new for the last few days, but I return bearing a gift: a link to a video my brother Caleb shot in New Zealand last January. Watch a big brown trout feeding and a big brother comment on it. Video Courtesy Vicky and Caleb Linville: http://gallery.me.com/vickylinville#100028 / I…

Yesterday I fished with Captain Will Benson alongside David Weeks. We left at 8:30, and very soon after had a great shot at a large permit. 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…

The 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…

Lily 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,…

A 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…

Here 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
