Bespoke Saltwater Fly Fishing Adventures

I glass a big rump in the adjacent field through a gap in the trees close to sunset.

Too big compared to the closer does. Waiting. Waiting. A head glimpse. Buck.

Now to get him closer before dark. 3 grunts. Grab binos. Nothing. 3 more grunts. Binos. Nothing. Some does 100 yards out stomp. Others run.

I roar 3 grunts. Grab binos. Dude is running at me. Crosses the tree line. Crosses the high brush. Into the clearing. Head on. Glaring at the location of the grunts.

All the does spook. Big boy bolts but stops broadside. He wants to fight.

In the twilight, I walk up and confirm he really does like to fight. 8 points became 6 over this fall.

Huge thanks to and the Barrow fam for having me this weekend and so many other times in the past. GO DAWGS !

Striper Camp 2024 - bitterly cold and sluggish fish but Richie got his first ever striper on fly so that’s all that matters.

Fly fishing for striper is awesome, and the Humpback Whales wreaking havoc within sight of the beach is the coolest nature moment I’ve seen all year.

“I literally s**t into my balls a few days ago. That was just bonus, tho. Gnarly fever, wracking cough and aches for 4 days. Then firehose. Thought I might have to medi vac. Was so dehydrated I didn’t p*e for 2 days. I wrote out a mini retirement post. lol.”

- Text sent November 8th, 2024 while wallowing in filth on the deck of a long haul ferry somewhere off the coast of Papua.

This ordeal spooked me. I’ve had my share of travel illnesses, and I feel great now, but I’m going to honor a plea I made with myself during the drama. My body needs a change.

Thanks to the finest friends and superb clients, I’ve been on the road or destination guiding essentially non-stop since May 2021. It’s become a fish filled dream come true of a life. Y’all are the best.

A lil striper fishing next week and then I’m hitting the gym and editing footage til February. An off-season is calling, baby.

I spent the start of November sick as dog, but against all odds my body rallied and I actually fished this new area in West Papua the past few days. And it absolutely slaps. My gosh.

Right now, we’re working whatsapp to see if the ongoing fuel shortage will mean an early end to the adventure or if I can finesse a few more days of angling (and still make it back in time to cheer when our Dawgs maul the vols)

Here’s to a few more days of fly fishing for bonefish, triggers and giant trevally! Gotta believe!

Back to the jungle tonight, baby!

We start with a week of fly fishing for Red Kaloi and then we will head up river in search of Mahseer. A 50lb blue Mahseer is dancing in my dreams.

I decided on the flight over I’m going to attempt a tan as my new years resolution. A month in the jungle seems like a good opportunity. I’ll keep y’all updated.

Off the grid until January 22.

After our time here in Borneo, it’s
a short Singapore stopover and then, fish god willing, we will head to Laos to chase wolf barb. Gotta believe!!
