Fall 2019

Fall 2019-My favorite time of the year and the best way to end a great fishing season!

Been a long, hot summer of 2019!

Greetings from Kingfisher Flyfishing! 

This first photo is evidence that there is good flyfishing to be had down here in February. Now, I am not saying February is my favorite month on the Lower Laguna Madre. But there are plenty of good days to be fished.  This photo, taken two days ago, was the first catch (30+”) of a very good day on the water with a good friend and regular client of mine. Congrats Bryan!

As most of you know, Truett and I own two skiffs, both www.newwaterboatworks.com; our trusty Stilt and our brand new Willet. 
Give us a call. Now is the time to book for the spring and early summer.

Spring is Coming...

It's almost that happy time of year! We will soon be chasing red's on the flats. Temps will soon be warm again. We get the warm weather first so call me and we will get you on our calendar...

Another 1st red on the fly!

Last week I had the pleasure of having Scott and his son Samuel on my skiff for one day. It was a tough day as we struggled with clouds and wind all day. We saw quite a few redfish. But, the fish were mostly hidden by the lack of light (and blinding glare) until they were 20 feet from the boat, leaving us little or no time to present a fly before the fish fled. I want to commend Scott and Samuel. This was their first time chasing reds with a fly rod. I see many first time saltwater fly fishermen wilt under the pressure. This father and son team showed courage and dedication all day as they continued to concentrate amid difficult conditions and very finicky fish. I always enjoy getting out on the water but, because I am human, I enjoy some clients more than others. I really enjoyed your company and look forward to seeing Samuel catch his first red on a fly rod in the near future!

Way to go Scott! Perfect cast! Perfect hook set! Another first redfish on the fly!

FALL 2018 ON THE LLM

JULY 2018

July has been a good month on the water. I have seen some old friends return to the Laguna Madre after a difficult year of health. Way to go John! Double digit fish landed the last day was a real treat for me too! I have seen several men catch their first redfish on a fly rod. I take more pride in guiding first time angers than just about anything else I do on the water. I have seen my 8 year old come of age as a fly fisherman. And, now that Truett and I both own skiffs, I have had some sweet days on the water with Lydia and the kids. It was a good July. Now, on to fall fishing!
