Chris and Don interview Flying Fishing Expert Jeff Liskay.

Capt. Eric Herstedt is a seasoned and versatile fishing guide based in Everglades National Park and the Florida Keys, specializing in light tackle and fly fishing. Whether it's spin, bait, plug, artificial, or fly—Eric does it all, and he does it with the best of them. With decades of experience and an unmatched passion for the water, Eric has built a reputation as a top-tier guide known for his skill, adaptability, and commitment to providing unforgettable days on the water.Born in Miami and raised on Long Key in the heart of the Florida Keys, Eric developed a deep connection to the outdoors and the rich fishing grounds surrounding him. By the age of 3, he was already casting a spin rod, and at just 14 years old, he achieved his first Flats Grand Slam—landing a bonefish, permit, and tarpon in a single day. Though spin and plug fishing were his early go-tos, Eric discovered fly fishing at age 9 and quickly embraced its challenges and rewards.Eric's talent and dedication have made him a fixture in the tournament scene. He and Nicky fished the Golden Fly Tarpon Tournament together for nine consecutive years, narrowly missing a victory a couple of times. In 2022, Eric and angler Mike Criscola finished as runners-up in the legendary Gold Cup Tarpon Tournament—further proof of Eric's consistency and sharp instincts under pressure.Beyond the tournaments, Eric has contributed to conservation efforts with Bonefish & Tarpon Trust (BTT), working alongside Capt. Doug Kilpatrick and Dr. Ross Boucek to help establish best practices for handling bonefish safely at the boat.Eric is known not only for his skills on the water but also for his honesty and authenticity—he's a straight shooter who tells it like it is. Whether you're chasing tarpon on fly or just getting your feet wet, Eric is the kind of guide who makes the day memorable.We hope you enjoy getting to know Capt. Eric Herstedt as much as we have.

Capt. Pauly Ross is quickly becoming one of the most respected young guides in the Florida Keys, and for good reason. At just 24 years old, he's already earning a reputation that many seasoned captains spend a lifetime building. Born and raised in Islamorada, Pauly grew up on the deck of the Relentless, the legendary offshore fishing vessel captained by his father, Paul Ross—an icon in the sportfishing world with seven Gold Cup Sailfish Series titles to his name. The Ross family name carries serious weight on the water, and Pauly is honoring that legacy while forging his own path in the backcountry and tarpon arenas. With a quiet confidence and humble nature, Pauly operates with the precision, calm, and instincts of someone twice his age. He's a natural guide—sharp-eyed, tactical, and relentlessly focused on giving his anglers the best possible shot. Pauly's list of accolades is already impressive. He's a multi-time winner of the Poor Boys Tarpon Tournament and a champion of the Herman Lucerne Backcountry Tournament. His name is consistently in the mix during tarpon season, where he's recognized as a serious threat across all the major tournaments. Although, the most amazing accomplishment, I believe, is that he recently caught a super slam (Tarpon, Permit, Bonefish, Snook, & Redfish) solo on fly in one day! I am not sure anyone has done that to date - but could be wrong. But accolades only tell part of the story. What sets Pauly apart is his work ethic and presence on the water. Whether poling through skinny flats or chasing rolling tarpon at dawn, he brings the same level of preparation, quiet intensity, and deep respect for the sport every day. His guests quickly realize they're fishing with someone special—a guide with both heart and heritage. Capt. Pauly Ross represents the next generation of elite Florida Keys fishing. And if his early success is any indication, he's just getting started.

Catching trout is often the focus of most fly fishing media. But not all of us live near great trout fishing! You might live next to a farm pond full of panfish, or on the coast near striped bass. So, all the trout-centric fly fishing content can get kinda old. Here's what most folks don't immediately understand, though -- the skills you need for trout fishing overlap with the skills you need for almost every other fish!  Bonefish, bass, tarpon, roosterfish, taimen, musky, pike -- these are all vastly different from trout, but they still require a good knowledge of fly presentation, fly selection, casting, and reading water. Those are foundational skills you need no matter what you're fishing for!  On this episode of Untangled, Spencer walks you through how trout fishing can overlap with all sorts of other species, and gives you concrete examples of what that looks like. You'll also learn about:  Building your own leaders The most versatile fly rod OTHER than a 9' 5-weight How to cast after making a LONG drift through a good run LINKS FROM THE SHOW Get the Right Fly eBook - CHECK IT OUT Join the VFC Online Community - CHECK IT OUT QUESTIONS FOR THE SHOW - SUBMIT HERE #LIVEREELLIFE MOMENT - SUBMIT HERE VIDEO - Fly Fishing Knots - WATCH HERE VIDEO - Wildfly Smallmouth Film - WATCH HERE

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/681 Presented By: On DeMark Lodge, Jackson Hole Fly Company, Heated Core, Angler's Coffee Rick Lee, Hawaiian fly fishing master and saltwater expert, is back on the podcast, and today, we're diving into the waters of Christmas Island and Hawaii. Rick's got the scoop on where to find the biggest bonefish, and he's sharing some tips on how to DIY your fly fishing trips across Hawaii. We also dive into the crazy world of triggerfish. Ever wonder why they're called that? Plus, he's got some wild stories about Captain Cook's adventures (and how he met his end in Hawaii). Show Notes with Rick Lee on Christmas Island Fly Fishing.   02:33 - We catch up with Rick Lee since our last chat in Episode 116. Rick is still guiding out of O‘ahu while raising his kids. We also discuss the challenges and progress of conserving Hawaii's coastal ecosystems. He said he's helping educate visitors about protecting the bonefish and other species. 07:26 - We catch up with Rick about his time in Hawaii during the COVID-19 pandemic. He was in Christmas Island when things started to get serious and had a narrow escape, catching the last flight home before the island closed for nearly three years. He said tourism in Hawaii took a huge hit, but the silver lining was there was no traffic, no crowds, and empty surf spots. Fishing in Hawaii: What You Need to Know 09:52 - Rick shares some helpful tips for those planning a trip to Hawaii. He said that while Hawaii isn't a top destination for fly fishing, it's a great activity to add to your vacation, especially if you're looking for a few hours of fishing before the family wakes up. Oahu has some of the world's biggest bonefish, but with so many people and tourists, the fishing pressure is high. But Rick still recommends bringing your gear out for an adventure. Aside from bonefish, Rick says you can also fish for triggerfish and some varieties of goatfish. 12:37 - Rick shares that Oahu has flats around the whole island, but winter can bring dangerous surf on the north and west shores, while the south shore gets more giant waves in the summer. For those looking for specific spots, Rick recommends contacting his team for personalized advice based on where you're staying. Gear Rick suggests using a 7 or 8-weight rod, a floating fly line, and a tapered leader. For flies, crazy Charlie patterns in tan, brown, or orange work well, as do mantis shrimp patterns. 17:28 - Rick talks about catching some really big bonefish in Hawaii, with some reaching over 30 inches! The average fish on their charters weighs around 5 pounds, but you can catch ones that are 7-10 pounds pretty often. 22:53 - Rick explains that Hawaii's warm water temps stay consistent all year, from the mid-seventies to low eighties. This means you can fish for bonefish pretty much any day of the year. However, late summer and fall can bring rainy weather and strong winds, making fishing tougher. But if you're up for a challenge, the fishing is still great year-round. Casting in the Wind 23:54 - Rick says the key is to slow down and keep your stroke smooth and powerful. He also recommends casting sidearms to help the fly cut through the wind more efficiently. When it comes to rods, it's all about personal preference, but fast or medium-fast action rods work best for wind and saltwater fishing. As for fly lines, shorter, quicker shooting lines are great for windy days, while longer lines help with delicate casts when the conditions are better. 27:25 - Rick says there used to be a fly shop called Nervous Waters in Hawaii, but it closed down when the owner retired. If you're heading to Hawaii, you must bring everything you need. Fishing at Christmas Island 36:40 - Rick shares about Christmas Island, a remote spot south of Hawaii, where you can fish in a beautiful 145-square-mile lagoon. It's known for its incredible fishing variety, from bonefish and triggerfish to big tuna and sailfish. Triggerfish can grow up to 20 pounds and live in coral forts with special defenses. Rick talks about how tricky it is to catch them, but with the proper techniques, it's one of the world's best places for trigger fishing. Rick explains that a Christmas Island day isn't just about targeting one fish species. You could start with milkfish, which travel in huge schools, and then switch to offshore fishing for tuna or sailfish. After that, it's back to the lagoon to target bonefish and triggerfish. And when you think it's over, giant trevally might pop up. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/681

In this episode of the Beyond Jaws podcast, hosts Andrew Lewin and Dr. David Ebert welcome Dr. Grace Casselberry, the sixth recipient of the prestigious Eugenie Clark Award from the American Elasmobranch Society. Dr. Casselberry, a postdoctoral student at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, shares her inspiring journey in marine biological research, highlighting her dedication, perseverance, and innovative contributions to the study of elasmobranchs, including sharks and rays. Listeners can look forward to insights into her accomplishments, future aspirations, and the impactful work she has done in public outreach and research. Join us for an engaging conversation about the importance of marine conservation and the legacy of Eugenie Clark! Connect with us: Website: https://bit.ly/37TMqeKInstagram: https://bit.ly/3eorwXZ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beyondjawspodcast7591 Dave:  Website: https://www.lostsharkguy.com/ Instagram: https://bit.ly/3q1J9Q5 Andrew: Website: https://www.speakupforblue.com/ Instagram: https://bit.ly/37g5WkG Dr. Grace Casselberry: A Rising Star in Shark Research Dr. Grace Casselberry, the sixth recipient of the Eugenie Clark Award from the American Elasmobranch Society, has made significant strides in the field of shark research. As a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, her work focuses on the spatial ecology of various shark species, predator-prey dynamics, and the effects of catch-and-release angling on striped bass. Her journey into marine science and shark research is both inspiring and illustrative of her dedication to the field. Early Influences and Education Grace's interest in marine science was sparked during her childhood summers spent in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where she developed a love for the ocean through fishing with her grandfather. Unlike many marine scientists who have been fascinated by sharks since childhood, Grace's path was more gradual. It wasn't until her undergraduate studies at the University of Connecticut, where she took a fish biology class, that she realized she could turn her passion for fishing into a career studying fish. After completing her Bachelor's degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Grace interned at the Panama City Lab, where she gained hands-on experience with sharks. This internship solidified her interest in movement ecology and led her to pursue a Master's degree at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where she studied the residency and habitat use of various shark species in a marine protected area. Research Focus and Achievements Grace's Master's research involved tagging and tracking tiger sharks, lemon sharks, nurse sharks, and Caribbean reef sharks in Buck Island Reef National Monument in St. Croix. Her findings revealed that these species spent over 50% of their tagged days within the marine protected area, underscoring its importance for shark conservation. For her PhD, Grace shifted her focus to great hammerhead sharks in the Florida Keys, where she investigated their movement patterns and interactions with the recreational tarpon fishery. Her research uncovered that approximately 15% of hooked tarpon were consumed by hammerheads, raising concerns about the impact of shark predation on the tarpon population. In addition to her shark research, Grace has also worked on critically endangered sawfish, conducting juvenile nursery area habitat assessments in Everglades National Park. This work involved catching and tagging juvenile sawfish to better understand their habitat use and population dynamics. The Importance of Funding and Collaboration Throughout her academic journey, Grace has actively sought funding to support her research. She has applied for various grants, including the prestigious Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship from NOAA, which allowed her to pursue her PhD. Grace emphasizes the importance of persistence in grant writing, noting that rejection is a common part of the process. She encourages aspiring researchers to apply for funding opportunities, as they are essential for advancing scientific knowledge and conservation efforts. Grace's collaborations with organizations such as Bonefish and Tarpon Trust and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary have also been instrumental in her research. These partnerships have provided valuable resources and support, enabling her to conduct fieldwork and share her findings with stakeholders in the fishing community. Recognition and Future Aspirations Receiving the Eugenie Clark Award is a significant milestone in Grace's career, recognizing her perseverance, dedication, and innovation in shark research. She hopes to continue her work in applied conservation and management, focusing on the intersection of marine animal movement and fisheries management. Grace's journey serves as an inspiration to early-career scientists, particularly women in marine science, as she exemplifies the impact of passion, hard work, and collaboration in advancing our understanding of marine ecosystems. The importance of grant writing and securing funding is a critical aspect of a successful career in marine science, as highlighted by Dr. Grace Casselberry in her interview on the Beyond Jaws podcast. Grace emphasizes that her experience with grant writing has been somewhat unique, as she has actively pursued funding to support her research projects, particularly during her PhD and postdoctoral work. Grace began writing grant proposals while finishing her master's thesis, recognizing that her lab did not have the resources to fully support her PhD work. This proactive approach allowed her to secure funding, which was essential for her to continue her research on sharks and other marine species. She notes that the process of applying for grants can be challenging, as it often involves competing against many other talented researchers with compelling ideas. One of the key takeaways from Grace's experience is the reality of rejection in the grant writing process. She candidly shares that she has applied for more grants than she has received, which is a common experience for many researchers. Grace highlights that while rejections can be disheartening, they are not personal and often reflect the competitive nature of funding opportunities. She encourages aspiring scientists to persist despite setbacks, stating, "You're never going to get the money if you don't try to get the money." Grace also emphasizes the importance of learning from feedback received on grant applications. For instance, after applying for the Dr. Nancy Foster scholarship and not receiving it initially, she was able to use the feedback to improve her proposal for the next application cycle, ultimately leading to her success. This illustrates the significance of resilience and adaptability in the grant writing process. In summary, Grace's experiences underscore that grant writing is not only a necessary skill for securing funding but also an opportunity for researchers to articulate their ideas and the importance of their work. Her journey reflects the challenges and rewards of navigating the funding landscape in marine science, highlighting the need for persistence, learning from rejection, and the ability to tell a compelling story about one's research.

In this episode, James Johnson discusses fly fishing for bonefish, tarpon, and permit in Belize. He emphasizes the precision and visual cues required for flats fishing, where anglers cast to fish they can see. Johnson explains how to spot nervous water and the different ways fish react to flies. He also shares tips on casting and presentation techniques for each species, including the use of shrimp, crab, and baitfish patterns. Overall, the conversation provides valuable insights for anglers looking to target the big three species in Belize. In this part of the conversation, James Johnson and Christian Bacasa discuss various techniques and strategies for fly fishing in saltwater. They cover topics such as presenting the fly, reading fish behavior, using bait fish patterns, and fighting fish. They emphasize the importance of accuracy, speed, and versatility in casting, as well as the need to adapt to different wind conditions. James also provides tips on clearing the line and fighting different species of fish. Overall, this part of the conversation provides valuable insights for both experienced and novice saltwater fly anglers.   Takeaways Flats fishing requires precision and the ability to cast to fish you can see. Nervous water can indicate the presence of fish, and different types of nervous water require different casting approaches. For bonefish, it's important to show the fly to the fish and make adjustments based on their reaction. Tarpon can be less erratic than permit, and the stripping technique can vary depending on the fly pattern. Understanding the sink rate of your fly and adjusting your presentation accordingly is crucial for success. Using different fly patterns, such as shrimp, crab, and baitfish, can be effective for targeting different species. Accuracy and speed are crucial in saltwater fly fishing Versatility in casting is important to adapt to different wind conditions Understanding fish behavior and using the right fly patterns can increase success Clearing the line and fighting fish require specific techniques Practice backhanded casting and accuracy on the back cast Fly Fishing Insider Blog is taking off and I'm putting out tons of content weekly.  Join the Loyalty Club for updates and all kinds of discounts! www.ffipodcast.com The Fly Fisherman's Channel has become my favorite place lately.

A study conducted by the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust and Florida International University showed that bonefish were testing positive for a wide range of pharmaceuticals. The research helped push the need for better waste water management, just one of many issues facing bonefish and tarpon in Florida. Dr. Aaron Adams is a longtime angler and outdoorsman who has made it his life's work to improve coastal fisheries by conducting scientific research, applying scientific findings to conservation activities, and communicating science to those who are using and benefiting from the resource. In this episode, we dive into a range of issues BTT is tackling to help future populations of bonefish, tarpon and other coastal fishes. Subscribe to Anglers Journal magazine at AnglersJournal.com

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/623  Presented by: Togiak River Lodge, Visit Helena, MT, Stonefly Nets, Yellowstone Teton Territory Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors  Craig Hayes, owner of Turneffe Flats Lodge, has spent the last 40 years pioneering conservation efforts and catch-and-release practices, making Belize a top destination for anglers. In this episode, Craig shares the fascinating history of the lodge, innovative programs shaping the fishing industry, and tips for planning a successful tarpon trip. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, Craig's insights and stories are not to be missed. Welcome back to Belize for another big one with Craig Hayes from tflats.com! Episode Chapters with Craig Hayes on Turneffe Flats Lodge 1:26 - Craig shares how he got into fly fishing in the 1970s while living in the Black Hills of South Dakota, learning from a young boy who later became a manager an ER doctor, and then manager at Turneffe Flats. 5:09 - He highlights Turneffe Atoll as a prime location due to its less developed nature and diverse fishing opportunities, allowing anglers to catch various species like bonefish, permit, and tarpon. He also mentions that they offer rental programs for those who don't have the necessary equipment. 11:09 -We dig into the conservation efforts of flats fishing in Belize. Craig shares positive findings from recent surveys of fishing guides, which indicate that the fish population, including bonefish, is thriving, with an increase in both the size and number of fish. He attributes much of this success to Belize's 2009 Catch and Release Legislation, which protects species like bonefish, permit, and tarpon. 17:20 - Craig explains that the key to successfully passing this legislation was making a strong economic argument. They hired a fisheries economist who studied flats fishing in Belize. The study revealed that flats fishing had a significant financial impact. This data was presented to government officials, emphasizing the economic benefits of protecting certain fish species. 22:15 - He discusses the current situation in Belize, where there is significant development interest, particularly in tropical coastal areas. He expresses concern about the potential negative impact on flats fishing, an important part of Belize's economy. Instead of addressing each development project individually, Craig advocates for a comprehensive approach to protect all flats in Belize. 24:28 - We reflect on their journey in the fishing and tourism industry, particularly focusing on their experiences since starting a fishing lodge in Belize. Craig and his wife have been involved in the business for 24 years. Craig recounts how he became interested in bonefishing after reading an article in Sports Illustrated, which inspired him and his friends to consider starting a bonefishing lodge in Belize, despite minimal tourism at the time. 29:00 - We talk about sustainable tourism and its implementation within Craig's operation. Craig highlighted that their operation is completely off-grid, relying on an extensive solar system that generates 75% of their energy and a sophisticated water system that primarily uses stored rainwater. 31:04 - Craig expresses that Yvon Chouinard is his hero due to his approach to life, conservation, and business. Inspired by Yvon, Craig and his wife are planning to implement a purpose trust for their business, which will allocate the majority of its future disposable income to conservation efforts. 39:01 - Craig mentions two primary conservation groups: the Turneffe Atoll Trust, which has driven initiatives like catch and release practices, and the Turneffe Atoll Sustainability Association, known for its successful management of the Marine Reserve. 42:50 - Craig discusses the best times to visit Belize. He explains that bonefish and permit fishing are available year-round, depending on tides and weather. However, the prime time for migratory tarpon fishing is from mid-April through August. Bookings for this period are already filling up for 2025. Craig advises bringing a variety of fishing rods to be prepared for different conditions in May. 46:03 - Craig elaborates on their journey, mentioning that they started with very minimal resources—a small Honda generator running only a few hours each night—but over 40 years, they managed to evolve and improve their situation significantly. 47:51 - We delve into the current fishing conditions and how climate change impacts their activities. Craig explains they've been experiencing an unusual heatwave in Belize, which has negatively affected the reef and the fish. Before this heatwave, fishing was excellent, but now they hope for rain and cooler weather to improve the situation. 51:08 - Craig mentions that besides their fishing programs, they offer high-quality eco-tours and a top-notch scuba diving program. These tours are designed to cater to families, with activities such as snorkeling and diving available for those who may not be as interested in fishing. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/623

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/594 Presented By: Togiak River Lodge, Northern Rockies Adventures, Yellowstone Teton Territory, Togens Fly Shop Have you ever wondered what it would be like to reel in a massive tarpon? Or perhaps you're curious about the critical factors in preserving bonefish, tarpon, and permit populations? Today, we dive deep into the conservation with Mark Rehbein from the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust. Join us as we unravel why these three species are important for conservation efforts and explore the key habitats that need protection. Show Notes with Mark Rehbein on  Bonefish & Tarpon Trust. 2:40 - Mark Rehbein started fly fishing at a young age due to his father's involvement in making Potomac River bass fishing videos. This project led them to connect with Lefty Kreh. His journey eventually took him to Alaska, where he lived in a tent and worked at a fly shop. Mark Rehbein's Journey to Bonefish & Tarpon Trust 09:25 - After following BTT for years and growing up with a love for bonefishing, Mark transitioned from a corporate job and internships to landing an entry-level events position at BTT. Despite having no prior events experience, Mark embraced the challenge and grew within the organization, eventually becoming the Director of Development. Mark also highlights two upcoming major events hosted by BTT: the Circle of Honor in May and the New York dinner in October, where notable individuals like Captain Rick Ruoff, Captain Joe Gonzalez, and Travis Holeman will be honored.   Bonefish, Tarpon, and Permit Conservation Efforts 19:38 -  BTT focuses on the conservation of bonefish, tarpon, and permits. These species are crucial because protecting them also ensures the preservation of their habitats and benefits other marine life. BTT's initiatives involve extensive research, including tagging programs and mark-recapture studies, to gather essential data for informed conservation strategies. The focus revolves around three key areas: habitat preservation, water quality improvement, and effective fisheries management. "You gain credibility by the thimble full and lose it by the bucket full."  - Dr. Aaron Adams In places like the Florida Keys, BTT utilizes tournament catch records and collaborates with organizations like the IGFA, Lower Keys Guides Association, and Florida Keys Fishing Guides Association to track trends in tarpon encounters, releases, and jumps. Life History of Tarpon 33:40 - Tarpons start with their offshore spawning in deep waters, where they release eggs that develop into Leptocephalus larvae. These larvae drift with ocean currents until they reach suitable habitats. As juveniles, tarpon thrive in mangrove estuaries, where optimal habitat conditions support their growth and development. Tarpons can live up to 80 years and spawn multiple times. The Importance of Mangroves  45:37 - Mangroves serve as crucial habitats for various juvenile fish species. They provide protection, food sources, and growth opportunities. Mangroves also contribute to coastal resiliency and are essential for maintaining healthy ecosystems. Lefty Kreh's Legacy and One-Liners 53:35 - Mark shares anecdotes about Lefty Kreh's humorous and multifaceted personality, highlighting his knack for memorable one-liners. Despite his fame as an angler, Lefty's true legacy lies in his kindness, passion for fishing, and impact on those he encountered. Mark reflects on the impact Lefty had on him and how he strives to uphold Lefty's legacy by emulating his positive attitude and dedication to angling. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/594  

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/593  Presented by: Northern Rockies Adventures, Drifthook Fly Fishing, Visit Helena, MT, TroutRoutes Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors  Join us as we dive deep into fly fishing Belize with Damien Nurre, the guiding force behind Blue Horizon Lodge, renowned for its world-class fly fishing and unbeatable local guides. Damien shares his transformation from a snowboarding enthusiast to a fly fishing guide and lodge manager in one of the most coveted angling destinations on the planet. This episode is a treasure trove for fly anglers dreaming of the ultimate Grand Slam, offering insider tips on tackling Belize's elusive permit, bonefish, and tarpon. Whether you're plotting your next fishing adventure, Damien's insights and stories will transport you to the abundant waters of Belize, promising an experience you won't want to miss. Episode Chapters with Damien Nurre on Fly Fishing Belize 1:35 - Damien Nurre shares his journey from being a snowboarding enthusiast in the Midwest with no knowledge of fly fishing to becoming deeply involved in the sport. His curiosity was sparked at the University of Montana, where his roommate's passion for fly fishing influenced him. Damien's first fly fishing experience was on the Bitterroot River, and despite only catching one fish, he was fascinated by the process. This interest led him to become a fly fishing guide in Oregon, manage a lodge, and eventually move to Belize to work at Turneffe Flats, focusing on managing and running the fishing program. Later, he was approached by the parent company of Blue Horizon to evaluate the lodge's business performance. After a thorough assessment, he was asked to manage Blue Horizon and other lodges in Southern Belize since 2018. 5:43 - He details his progression into guiding on the Deschutes River, starting by purchasing an outfitting business from Num, alongside Chris O'Donnell. After parting ways with O'Donnell, Damien partnered with Full Line Field Outfitters, where he took on a significant role. Eventually, he seized an opportunity to buy a property and launch his own business, Deep Canyon Outfitters, focusing primarily on trout fishing camp trips along the upper Deschutes and steelhead fishing in the fall. 7:03 - He shares his experiences when he joined Blue Horizon, particularly focusing on Lincoln Westby, a well-known and elderly gentleman associated with the lodge. Despite having heard negative opinions about Lincoln from competitors and facing initial apprehension, Damien's interaction with Lincoln completely changed his perspective. 9:19 - We dig into the unique aspects of Blue Horizon Lodge, particularly emphasizing its exceptional guide staff. Damien highlights that, unlike other fishing lodges, their guides share meals and happy hour with guests, fostering a deeper connection beyond the fishing experience. If you also want to experience their top-notch guiding service, join our ongoing Belize School giveaway at wetflyswing.com/giveaway. 12:00 - Damien emphasizes that all their guides are local Belizeans. Belize has a unique regulation requiring tour guides to be naturalized citizens, which involves living in Belize for a calendar year and passing a comprehensive guide school course. Lincoln stands out at 83 for his enthusiasm and skill in guiding, despite having some health issues. Lincoln is portrayed as a mentor to younger guides, ensuring the continuation of quality guiding. Among the guides, Dan is highlighted as one of the top requested guides, having dedicated himself to fly fishing and becoming well-known in the community for his expertise, especially in catching permits. 18:06 - We talk about the unique fishing opportunities at Blue Horizon, focusing on catching permits. Damien explains that while permits are universally challenging to catch, Blue Horizon offers a distinct advantage due to the consistency and number of opportunities anglers get to catch them. On average, it's realistic to expect about 10 shots at permit each day and more during good conditions. The fishery's shallow waters make the experience visually exciting and more challenging, as permits in shallow waters tend to be more wary. He also highlights the benefits of fishing during the summer months, noting that while the popular season starts in mid-February and goes through early June, the summer offers more solitude and less pressured fish, making it his favorite time to fish. Despite fewer anglers, the quality of fishing remains high, with a good chance of catching migratory tarpon in addition to permits. Bonefish are available year-round, providing a nearly guaranteed catch. 21:49 - Damien walks us through the logistics of visiting Blue Horizon Lodge, highlighting the lodge's unique location and the journey to get there from the US. Travelers can fly directly to Belize City from several major US cities, then take a short commuter flight to Placencia, where a driver from Blue Horizon picks them up for a boat ride to the lodge. Their area is characterized by hard coral flats, deep channels, and abundant marine life, making it ideal for permit fishing and snorkeling. 26:05 - We talk about Damien's experience working at Blue Horizon since 2018 and how it compares to his previous fishing activities in Oregon. Damien describes the fishing in Belize as significantly different, emphasizing it as more of a hunting game that requires stealth, precision, and understanding the cautious nature of fish like permit, which are notorious for inspecting flies closely before often rejecting them. Despite these challenges, Damien highlights the similarities between the two experiences, notably the joy of being immersed in nature and escaping the routine of daily life. 27:30 - Regarding fishing opportunities during August, Damien mentions a high chance of catching the grand slam—permit, tarpon, and bonefish—due to the unique conditions of the summer months. He explains that the summer offers less pressured fish and more solitary experiences, unlike the busier seasons. Mornings might start with tarpon fishing near the lodge, followed by targeting permit, and ending with bonefish, generally considered the easiest of the three to catch. Damien's enthusiasm for summer fishing underscores the potential for excitement and success in Belize's diverse and vibrant fishery. 29:49 - He tells us the criteria for achieving a Grand Slam in Belize's fly fishing scene, clarifying that it involves catching three out of four specific species—bonefish, permit, tarpon, and snook—in a single day. Catching all four qualifies as a Super Slam, a feat recently accomplished by an angler at Blue Horizon. He also provides insight into the operations and daily routines at the lodge, located on Northeast Key, where guides and guests coordinate based on tidal conditions to plan their fishing outings. 31:32 - Damien explains that the temperature around the ocean in Belize typically stays around 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year. He points out that May is the hottest month due to lower wind activity and being the driest month. While temperatures during fishing can get up to 90 degrees, exceeding that is rare. 32:50 - He describes Blue Horizon Lodge as an intimate and friendly place, ideal for fishing vacations with friends. The lodge has five guestrooms accommodating up to ten guests, featuring full-size beds, air conditioning, private bathrooms, and island-wide Wi-Fi, ensuring connectivity throughout. 36:49 - Damien offers several key tips for anglers heading to Belize, especially those who aim to catch permit, a notoriously challenging species. He emphasizes the importance of casting the fly as close to the fish as possible, aiming for it to land in the fish's line of sight rather than far ahead of it. Damien notes that direct casting might seem counterintuitive as it could spook the fish, but it often results in a hookup. He advises against panicking if the fish is spooked, suggesting instead to let the fly sit, as the fish might return to its original spot. Another crucial tip is about the stripping rate; slow and short strips are more effective, especially when using crab flies, mimicking natural prey behavior. Damien highlights that stopping the fly's movement altogether can be a successful strategy to entice a bite, as it imitates a crab trying to hide. These strategies are grounded in understanding the behavior of the target species and adapting techniques to mimic natural prey movements accurately. 44:28 - He tells us the types of flies that are effective for permit fishing at Blue Horizon, mentioning that while each guide has their favorites, certain flies are consistently preferred, such as the Bauer's Flats Crabs, Camo Crabs from S&S Flies, and Contraband Crabs. 46:12 - He encourages exploring the Belize mainland, citing Placencia Village for its accessibility and vibrant community, the Cayo District for its jungle adventures, and the ATM Cave for its historical and adventurous appeal. He suggests Belize as a great destination for families, offering a range of activities beyond fishing, such as snorkeling, scuba diving, and relaxing on the beach. With options to stay in various family-friendly resorts operated by Blue Horizon's parent company, visitors can combine fishing expeditions with family vacations, ensuring a comprehensive experience of Belize's diverse attractions. 53:17 - He compares Turneffe Flats to Blue Horizon, highlighting that the former is located about 30 miles off the coast of Belize City and offers a different fishery, with a stronger focus on bonefish and good opportunities for permit fishing. Tarpon fishing is available year-round, similar to Blue Horizon, but the best tarpon fishing occurs in summer. 54:18 - In the conservation segment, Damien praises Craig Hayes, the owner of Turneffe Flats, for his significant contributions to conservation in Belize, more so than any NGO according to Damien. Hayes was instrumental in enacting catch-and-release laws and played a pivotal role in banning gillnets in Belize, known for their indiscriminate impact on marine life. The ban, established in the fall of 2020, allows guides and the fisheries department to remove gillnets found in the water. Damien notes that some guides take the initiative to destroy gillnets they encounter, though this action carries risks. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/593

In this conversation, Mike Larkin discusses the movements of bonefish and the use of different types of tags to track their behavior. He shares stories of bonefish being tagged in Florida and recaptured in the Bahamas, highlighting the challenges and limitations of research in the region. Mike emphasizes the importance of keeping an open mind in scientific research and suggests managing bonefish populations as one unit rather than separate populations. The conversation then transitions to a discussion on knots and their strength for different fishing scenarios. In this conversation, Mike and I discuss the importance of testing knot strength and the factors that contribute to a strong knot. We explore different knots and their performance in various fishing situations. We also discuss the importance of choosing the right knot for the specific line and conditions. The conversation highlights the need for adaptability and continuous testing as new lines and materials are introduced. We also touch on the importance of controlling what you can in fishing, such as tackle and knots. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the convenience of loop to loop connections and the advantages of modern fluorocarbon.
