18th Day fishing – Florida Everglades – April 26 Today we got off to an earlier start. I fished with Carl today and Mel fished with Reid in his boat. We did not take our Mel’s boat because his boat does not do well in really skinny water. Reid’s and Carl’s boats are designed for […]
The Three Amigos – Everglades 2022 (part 1)
Day 17 fishing – The Florida Everglades – 4/25 The three Amigos are back together again in the Florida Everglades, April 2022. My only prior experience fishing in the Everglades was about seven years ago when my wife and I took a guided fishing trip there. We were looking for tarpon (aka poon) We never […]
Dad, my least favorite weather is “Wind”
Day 16 on the water – April 20th Looking for BWO’s and not finding any. Spring in the Tetons has been mostly cool and very windy. Rain and snow mix. The fishing crowd has been praying for more of this. The snowpack melted significantly during warmer days in March and so a cool spring and […]
In April, It’s Ice-off Time!
Day 15 on the water – April 10th, 2022 Every year my fishing friends and I look forward to ice off, which usually takes place in April. A little earlier at lower elevations and considerably later at higher elevations. In Utah we have a few high profile lakes where ice off is a really big […]
Back in the Saddle
14th Day Fishing 2022 – South Fork of the Snake – Swan Valley, ID As I have said before the winter flows of the South Fork make the river very wadable. Here we are March 30th and the flows are still below 1000cfs. Crazy, but they need to fill Palisades back up as the summer […]
Tough Lessons in March
13th Day Fishing 2022 – Henry’s Fork So far this March, fishing has been a bit iffy for me. Today I had a game plan but nothing quite worked out according to the plan. A lot of the day, I was just hoping for a hatch. The weather had warmed and just like we had […]
Lower Provo – March 24, 2022
Today was a really interesting day on the Lower Provo. My friend Bryson and I had a really hard time deciding where to put in. But when we went to the spots up by the dam, we were blown away at how many cars there were parked up there. On the “About Bolderado” page I […]
The Three Amigos – Yellowstone (part 1)
In the latest installment of the Three Amigos saga, this trip took place in October of 2021. We still doing COVID protocols but we were all boosted, so we felt protected. Also, I had already had COVID a month earlier, plus I just got boosted, so I was feeling fairly immune. None the less, we […]
Days when “getting better counts for something”
Today was one of the those days. March 15th 2022, Whites Ranch, Paradise Utah. Some of the readers of this blog are undoubtably from Utah and many of you will know about White’s Ranch. It is a private, membership based fishing venue and offers a combination of a meandering stream connected to a few ponds. […]
Fishing with Barrie
Barrie and I were introduced through the fly fishing club in Florida. I joined it after moving there in 2006 and Barrie and I stared fishing together shortly after. Neither of us owned a flats boat, but we both had kayaks so that was how we fished together. That, and wading some of our favorite […]
