Fly Fishing For Bonefish



Fly fishers like to nickname their prey, and bonefish are no exception. The bonefish is nicknamed the "Gray Ghost", and if you have ever witnessed these creatures in their Andros Island or Florida Key habitat you know they have earned this nickname. Perfectly camouflaged for their environment these creatures rarely give away their whereabouts easily. Easily for the novice that is, a good guide can seemingly see them in the abstract. And although I am not a huge guide proponent, preferring trial and error, there are times when a guide is a necessity; especially after having spent a nice sum on airfare and lodging. Not to mention the accoutrements required for catching this most worthy of fish.



The bonefish is worthy because of the flat out, jaw dropping, blistering runs it can make; stripping off yards of line at mind boggling speed. One great bonefish run can make up for hours of frustration. If you are not used to casting forty yards into a stiff wind, having to make pinpoint accuracy out of these casts, and then knowing where all your line is in relation to your feet, then your first experience with these creatures are bound to produce some frustration. But it all will peel away like stress at a spa, when you hear your reel sing in the highest pitch imaginable, greedily feeding line to that running bonefish.



In actuality bonefish do two nice things for the novice fly fisher, or the experienced trout fly fisher getting their salt shoes wet for the first time. One, they occasionally do something called 'tailing'; which means they have their tails upright out of the water, while searching for food; although tails can often be mistaken for mangroves or weeds.



The other 'nice' habit they possess is that of creating 'muds'. Hordes of bonefish school together and create a muddy area to form a protection against sharks or barracudas. Although technically casting into these muds has very little to do with the actual flats fly fishing experience, they do give the first timer a taste of hooking a bonefish. These fish tend to be small, 2 pounds or so, an occasional six pounder and up can be hooked this way.



A big bonefish is a double digit one, over ten pounds. And this is ten pounds of very athletic fish indeed. So be prepared, although some anglers prefer a six weight rod, most prefer an eight weight. Also remember you will be required to cast into the wind and distances of at least forty feet, a fast action eight weight is highly recommended. A good guide will help you modify your cast for the wind. There are plenty of bonefish lines on the market, and don't forget the extra backing needed as well. For this reason a large arbor reel is recommended.



While most bonefishing is done aboard the deck of a boat, for obvious reasons, you can cover more ground and have the advantage of height. Wading is also done. Sometimes getting away for a quiet few hours of wading, reminds you of the real reason you might be there; namely natural beauty and solitude. But after awhile, wading can also remind you how exhausting it is. For better results take your fishing partner, if not a guide, and trade off casting and sighting fish. It is great practice, and very enjoyable when done at a medium pace.



For bonefish flies, , one does not have to break the bank or cover every possibility. As mentioned above technique is of most importance. However, there are some must haves, those include the Gotcha Fly, Crazy Charlie, Clouser minnows, Raghead Crab, and a Mantis Shrimp.



Despite all the intimidation factors, the bonefish really are a great species to get your feet wet on when attempting saltwater fly fishing for the first time. The sight fishing aspect is similar to dry fly trout fly fishing, and the size of the fish and equipment is not a huge jump. One of the great rewards of today's fly fishing is the vast variety out there, and it is one of the least realized aspects of our great passion.

Lake River and Sea Fishing in Tanzania



The deep waters of Lake Tanganyika are rich in big-game fish. The waters of this deep lake are only just beginning to gain the world-wide fame which means these waters are less populated with boats and fishing conditions are absolutely perfect. Lake Tanganyika is the longest lake in the world, and at 1,433 meters is the second deepest in the world. Amazingly the lakes lowest point is 642m below sea level; and it holds a volume of water seven times that of Lake Victoria. For divers as well as anglers, this is paradise, with over 350 species of fish, offers some of the finest lake game fishing in Africa. Some of the game fish to be found here include the goliath, tigerfish and Nile Perch.


After a big storm I have seen people body surfing with waves sometimes reaching up to six meters. This is for the enthusiast only - I think - as I have tried to body surf but buoyancy was a problem for me in the fresh water.


Many fishermen come to African lakes looking to land a tigerfish; many claims are made by operators in Southern Africa that this fish is found only in Southern Africa countries - this is untrue as these game fish are also found here in Tanzania. The tigerfish is well-known for its powerful tail and savage teeth; and is claimed by some to be the world's most exciting freshwater sport-fish. I think this is mainly because of the drama of the whole experience the jarring strikes, lightning runs and spectacular leaps; a typical tigerfish weighs 3-8 pounds, with 10-20 pounds being landed from time to time.


In contrast the shallow waters of Lake Victoria are home to legendary Nile Perch growing up to 300lbs, and even the novice fisherman can be encouraged by casting off a jetty to catch abundant tilapia. Nile Perch of over 80 kg have been caught; the main method of fishing in the lake is trolling with lures. Apart from the Nile perch, local tilapia of up to 5kg have been caught on bait. I have seen catfish of over 50kg caught often.


The Guinness Book of World Records lists an incredible 232kg Nile perch caught by local fishermen on Lake Victoria. Another way to fish is from the shore - there are few un-spoilt places, I am sure, in the world where in fresh or salt water it is possible to land fish in the 20 - 100lb plus category.


Sea fishing in one of the most exciting areas of Tanzania is in an area called Kilwa in southern Tanzania - close to the Mozambique border - this is a blue water fishing paradise. For those who wish to experience the unbelievable thrill of saltwater fly fishing this is the place to head. Many different species can be teased up to a fly and the rush of playing a big fish on light gear is an unforgettable experience.

Fishing is best in the months of August, September and October. Silver service fly-camps are set up on an evening along the coastline and trips include all fishing, full-board accommodation, beer, table wine, soft drinks, and transfers to and from Dar-es-Salaam to Kilwa.

Under Cottonwoods: A Novel of Friendship, Fly Fishing, and Redemption



Under Cottonwoods: A Novel of Friendship, Fly Fishing, and Redemption

Under Cottonwoods is a lyrical novel of two Wyoming friends who are drawn together by their love of fly fishing and the outdoors. Walter is a handsome young man whose face and brain are scarred as a result of a climbing accident that has left him partially paralyzed and mentally diminished. Mike, who lost both of his parents when he was a young teen, is in his own way as handicapped as Walter. Mike seems at first to be the stronger, compassionately lending a hand to an unfortunate friend, but it’s soon clear that each is giving the other something priceless: the insight and courage to challenge the odds, embrace reality, and find a way to flourish and grow. Through quiet times on pristine streams, dangerous times on angry rivers, and the daily grind of a life of diminished expectations, the men grow stronger as their friendship deepens. With Mike’s help, Walter reestablishes a bond with his father and dares to chance romance, while Mike, with Walter’s constant encouragement and astute observations, makes peace with his wife.

Stephen Grace’s exploration of life after tragedy, is a perfect blend of humor and compassion rare in a first--or any--contemporary novel.

Making Fishing Lures: Basic Tools Required - Part 2


A wide variety of small hand tools is essential for fabricating the various parts of your fishing lure.



A set of different kinds of pliers is needed for many jobs encountered in making fishing lures. Combination pliers which have a slip joint which permits the jaws to open wide at the hinge to grip large diameters are useful for holding and bending metal.



Flat-nose pliers are also useful for holding or bending thin sheet metal or wire. They have a flat gripping surface between the jaws which will hold thin metal or wire firmly without damaging it too much.



Round-nosed pliers are needed for bending wire into various curves and eyes. They are especially useful in making spinner shafts and wire leaders. Both jaws of these pliers are round and tapered toward the end. Curves or eyes of small radius are bent with the tips of the jaws, while those of greater radius are bent with the base of the jaws. Even so, you'll need two pairs of round-nosed pliers to handle most of the work. One pair can be the regular size used for heavy work, while the other pair should be the smaller jeweler size round-nosed pliers. These are used for making very small curves or eyes and for fine wire.



Diagonal cutting pliers are used for cutting fine wire, nails, pins, and screws. The angle of the jaws on these pliers makes it possible to cut close to a surface. These pliers are designed for cutting mostly the softer metals and wire. However, they can be used for steel piano wire or stainless steel wire if they have very hard cutting jaws. Because of this you should buy the best diagonal pliers you can get. Cheap ones will not do a good cutting job, and the edges of the jaws will soon be nicked and ruined if used on hard wire.



For cutting sheet metal into various shapes you'll need hand snips. Although a pair of straight snips can be used both for straight cutting and for large curves, duck bill snips are more suitable for all-round work. The duck bill snips will cut straight lines or curves in either direction. These snips do not provide too much leverage, and cutting thick metal is hard work. If you want to make it easier, you can get aviation metal snips which have a compound lever action. They will cut thicker metal with much less effort.



You will also need an assortment of files to use on wood and metal. Files can be used to shape wooden fishing lures; for finishing metal molds, jigs, and other lures, for cutting tempered steel wire, hooks, metal hardware; and for finishing metal lips, propellers, spinners, and spoons. Files are also needed to keep other tools sharp and in proper working order.



There are many different types of files in use but four will take care of most of your needs. The flat file is one of the fastest cutting general purpose files you can use. It has a broad surface and removes wood or metal quickly. You should get three flat files with different cuts. One should be a fine single cut which is used when a smooth finish is required. Another flat file should be a double cut type which is used for removing wood or metal at a fast rate. This file leaves a rough surface which must be finished with a smooth file. The other type of flat file should be a rasp which is used for rough work when you want to remove a lot of wood.

Fishing the Mid-Columbia



Fishing the Mid-Columbia
The Columbia River is rich with fishing opportunity for an incredible variety of game fish on a year-round basis to professionals and amateurs alike. Fishing the Mid-Columbia covers the 39 miles between McNary Dam and Three Mile Canyon. This stretch of the Columbia could very well yield the next world-record walleye, and even if it doesn't, it still yields some of the biggest walleye in the country and does so every year. There are white sturgeon nearly as big as many of the boats used in their pursuit. Salmon and steelhead runs have seen phenomenal recovery in recent years. And, as if that weren't enough, the Columbia's waters are teeming with smallmouth bass that would be the envy of most fisheries anywhere in the country.In Fishing the Mid-Columbia, Arnold Theisen tells you everything you need to know for a successful trip: river characteristics; how to navigate the river in this area; what species you'll encounter; the most productive tackle and equipment; local facilities; river fishing charts; and so much more.  

For the avid angler, it just doesn't get much better than this.
