fly fishing hawaii:

summertime and the livin’s easy.

well sports fans it’s finally here, the time we’ve all been waiting for... summer.  well, not official summer but the first of some summertime weather, long days, sun, and fun around here.  the nwff crew thoughts are going from how and where to catch fish to what should we go catch.  fish are everywhere and active.  the papio bite is getting pretty consistent (by oahu standards).  catching bonefish is about as easy as it gets (jay and e.t. of the nwff crew have both reported ten plus fish days and four to six fish days have been common among the crew) and there has been fish pretty much island wide.  word on the street is that the lake is also fishing well too (next on the list of things for me to check out)... so many things to chuck a fly at, so little time.  winter has a way of quickly sneaking up on us. although it’s still mid may, don’t put off fishing for later enjoy every minute on the water that you can right now.  fish like there’s no tomorrow because when you get right down to it... there isn’t.

went out with greg "pop's" a couple of times for papio (small trevally).  we caught a bunch... well a bunch and a half to be exact.  the tax man cometh.

eug. jigged up this nice whitey that day without paying tax... that's tax evasion brother. deeds gives it her lick of approval.

kenny b. added a couple more "micros" to his grand total.

spey brethren deano checked in with a nice papio.  he also said he lost a good one he estimates at ten to twelve pounds.

meanwhile i've been winning (and losing) a few battles with fish myself.

sean got his summer game in gear and combined a sage smallmouth rod and crease fly to get this guy at twilights last gleaming.

and he made a friend in the process.  he said this turtle kept him company.

just practicing with my two handed rod.  swinging it at anything i can whenever and whereever the nwff crew happens to be.

what do you get when a crusty old goat bonefish dude becomes a bright eyed bushy tailed novice spey addict... some good times.
