Patagonia Stormfront Pack: New & Improved
The All New Stormfront Pack Patagonia has rolled out another absolute winner with their newly redesigned Stormfront Packs. When I hear the word “Stormfront,” I think of worst case scenarios, like getting stuck riding out a storm on a flat that was just about to get good or taking an unexpected swim in an ice cold river. No matter...
2016 Kamchatka Video Report
The Zhupanova is perhaps the most beautiful and scenic river on the Kamchatka Peninsula. It's close proximity to Petropavlovsk (one hour by helicopter) and its huge Rainbows make it perhaps the most popular river on the peninsula. The average trout living in the Zhupanova is a solid twenty-five inches!...
A Slice of Southwest | Alaska Rainbow Lodge
Back in 2007, I decided to apply for a guiding position in Alaska. Little did I know, it would change my life on many different levels. For starters, this is where my photography career started. Thanks, Alaska! Secondly, I fell more and more in love with the state of Alaska each year that I guided. It’s just flat out incredible wilderness...

Kendjam Journal Day Eight – Family of Peacock Bass
The morning began with a beautiful sunrise and Augustine’s excellent egg scramble and coffee in my forever hot YETI Rambler. I couldn’t help but be drawn to fish busting just on the rock point right off our campsite, so grabbed my rod and headed out, hoping to put yesterday’s tough day behind me. Sure enough, fourth cast out, and I managed to...

Kendjam Journal Day Five – Fishing Day Three
Day 5, Day 3 Fishing: Last night was alive with the sound of crickets, frogs, howler monkeys, and Roberto snoring in the tent next to mine. But I woke up to the smell of egg and ham scramble being prepped by Rafael, and the hot water was boiling on the fire for the Nestle instant coffee. The morning was incredibly beautiful and slightly cooler...

Redfish Podcast with Meredith McCord
Tailwaters Travel Ambassador, Meredith McCord recently talked all about fishing for Louisiana redfish over at the TOFLYFISH podcast. Louisiana happens to be one of our top selling destinations here at Tailwaters Travel, and for a good reason. It’s a year round fishery that is easy to get to. There is nothing compared to it in my opinion...
Trip Report from Patagonia River Guides

Lefty Kreh Week Trip Report
Well we all have em…. A period in our work year that seems to have more gravity then the norm. An event that causes more stress than it should and insists on a complete self-exam previous to its arrival. The group that was in last week was just that for The Palometa Club. For whatever reason, I appeared to be the only one here doing the...
“Lefty & Me”. Reflections on a Week Hosting Lefty Kreh
By: Dick Cameron (owner/operator) At 53 years of age I have now kicked around this industry, on and off, since the mid 90’s. My winding road has crossed paths with many of our sports notables over the years either on the water, at the shows or in and out of fly shops. Most of these encounters have been brief, friendly exchanges that I recall...

Palometa Club Lands 500th Permit! (And Counting)
April 9, 2011: Punta Allen, Mexico – Ascension Bay The Atlantic Permit is my personal favorite fish to target. His beautiful shape, large eyes, rubbery lips, and black sickle tail are totally unique – but it is his excessive lack of cooperation that keeps me and so many other addicts coming back for more punishment. Permit...
Tailwaters Spring Bass School
Recently, Tailwaters hosted its first Bass Fishing School at Rough Creek Lodge in Glen Rose, Texas.

GOODBYE SHOP DOG
“Ace” Leake – December 1, 1996 – November 28, 2010 Like many pet owners who have lost a great friend – I honestly think I had the best dog there ever was. I suppose there is really no way to judge who has the “best” dog, but anyone who knew my relationship with my Chocolate Labrador, Ace, would agree we had a very special bond –more...
A Fishery Reinvented – Ascension Bay & The Palometa Club
Despite having been in the fly fishing travel business for nearly eleven years, I am still a relative new comer when compared to the industry folks who enjoyed the fly fishing boom of the 1990s. We are battling in a much more competitive marketplace today, but more noteworthy to me personally, I am often reminded I have missed the boat on...
Commentery on Safe Travel in Mexico
Traveling anglers have a lot to consider these days when deciding where to book their next trip. Unfortunately, more and more often, conversations about prospective destinations have nothing to do with the actual purpose of the desired holiday – the fishing. Whether is it politics, piracy, oil spills or swine flu, we spend a lot of...
A Word About Saltwater Fishing in the Summertime & Isla Holbox Tarpon Fishing
Too many traveling anglers just blow off the saltwater during the summer. Rightfully so, it is the time to head to the Rockies, Alaska, or Kamchatka. However, some of the best saltwater action happens in the summertime. Yes, there can be uncomfortably hot temperatures as well as hurricanes this time of year, but these weather events are...
East Texas Bass’in
Super friend and loyal supporter, Ron Gard, invited me to his stellar property east of town for some serious bass fishing action on Friday. It is gorgeous Spring mornings on the bass pond that help remind me why living in Texas is not all that bad. Is there anything more pleasant and fresh than an April morning in East Texas? Dogwoods...
Worried About Piracy in Seychelles? Don’t Be. Here is Why.
Worried About Piracy in Seychelles? Don’t Be… It is impossible to accurately describe a trip to Seychelles. There is simply nothing that compares with the beauty, uniqueness, and sensational flats fishing. We have collectively visited Alphonse Island five times, on both inspection and hosted trips, since 2004, and we would love...

Striking Gold in Argentina

Spring Time Bassin
Spring is just around the corner for all of us here in the South and I can hardly wait. Just thinking about getting out to do some bass fishing gets me super pumped up. I was cruising through some photos today and ran across a trip that a buddy and I took last Spring. We had been planning a Devil’s River trip for the past 6 months and when it...
YETI Coolers – So Hot, YET So Cool!
For those of you that haven’t had the chance to check out a YETI, I’m sorry. For those of you that have swung by the shop lately to purchase a YETI, I’m sorry again! The truth is, these coolers were without a doubt the most popular gift item for Christmas gifts and we simply haven’t been able to keep them in the shop!...
“Top Ten Reasons” to chase Redfish in Louisiana
All-Star client and friend, Sam Gioldasis, came up with his “Top Ten Reasons” for returning to the marshes of Southern Louisiana to chase redfish. Not a shabby testimonial. Thanks Sam!

Louisiana Redfish Update – Post Deepwater Horizon
We are very proud of our redfish fishing program in southern Louisiana. In the last eighteen months alone, we have sent over one hundred twenty of our clients to visit with Woodland Plantation and fish with our all-star cast of guides on the West Bank in Plaquemines Parish. It is perhaps the closest thing we have to an “exclusive” as a...
Louisiana Redfish, Non-Blackened.
Just over a week ago, I had the pleasure of heading down to Port Sulphur, LA to FINALLY complete a Redfish trip that had been planned since January. Then re-booked due to weather. Then again due to weather. Then again due to weather. Then due to oil. My fishing partner Paul Wharton was starting to be convinced that I was in fact cursed when it...
Baja 2010
I just returned home from my third visit to southern Baja, particularly the La Ribera/Los Barriles area. This year I joined Jeff de Brown of The Reel Baja and The Moldy Chum group (blog run by Eric Rathbun and Brian Bennett). The fishing was great and we all had shots at GRANDES. Read on… I decided to beat the group by three days to...
When fishing guides have too much free time…
My real good buddy and Somethin’s Fishy regular Jeff (el Jefe) White sent me this photo today – it is of a Tailwaters T that I gave him recently. Other than being awesome, I do question when he has the time for such hippie-esq tasks, as he should be on the Delaware River guiding……....
One More Reason to go Fishing and Not Play Golf…
A guy in South Carolina went to fetch his golf ball when he hit it into the drink… Safe to say his golfing career is over. One more reason to go fly fishing instead. Check out the article: http://www.postandcourier.com/news/2007/sep/17/mans_arm_salvaged_alligators_belly/...

Good ol’ Ace
The elderly chocolate lab here at the shop recently had his 13th birthday. He spends everyday here at Tailwaters Flyfishing Co. and represents it well. Ace is usually found sleeping due to his old age, but will randomly appear when you are eating lunch. Shocker, huh? Ace has a keen sense for all the soft spots in the shop. If we put a...
Brazos Bushwhacking
Brent, Matt and I went out to the Brazos River below Possum Kingdom Dam on the 11th, and while we didn’t whack a ton of stripers as we had intended, we certainly had a good time walking through eye-high brush and watching carp fly by us in the shallower parts of the river. We couldn’t get shots off at them fast enough,...
Kamchatka, Russia 2009
Wednesday August 5, 2009 I’m about to embark on my second trip to Kamchatka in search of the ever elusive 30” rainbow trout. Although the idea of 24 hours in the air isn’t exciting, the big Kamchatka Rainbow is definitely reason to endure such an arduous journey. I’m also excited about touring Moscow. My traveling companions for the trip...
Ron & Brent’s Alaska Wilderness Adventure
Ron Foster and I just returned from an incredible trip to Unalakleet River Lodge in Unalakleet, Alaska. Unalakleet is a small Eskimo Village located on Hudson Sound 400 miles Northwest of Anchorage. We were invited by lodge owners Jeff and Sally Appel to visit the lodge to have a better understanding of their operation. After a week of...
Black Canyon of the Gunnison
Sorry for the delay in this post, but things have been hectic here in Dallas, including the temperatures! I was fortunate enough, the first week of June to head up to Black Canyon Anglers in Austin, Colorado for a much needed trout trip on the Gunnison River. A two-nighter on the river turned out to be absolutely spectacular! The Black Canyon...
Seychelles… March 26 – April 5, 2009
One of my favorite benefits of being in the fly fishing industry is having the opportunity to revisit epic fishing spots. In this case, my visit to Alphonse Island and the St. Francois Lagoon in Seychelles was my fourth. Unlike first-timers, the feeling of fresh exotic newness is replaced with a feeling of “home” that nostalgic guys like me...
Seychelles 2009 – Brent’s Journal
This time of year traveling is a bitch….our original itinerary was to leave Dallas at 3:20 for a one hour flight to Houston and a 6:30 departure for Dubai. Well, after sitting on the runway in Dallas for two hours and multiple sub-plots in between, we finally left Dallas at 4:50, landed in Houston at 5:50 did the OJ through the airport...
Back from the Seychelles

REAL Fish Porn…..
If there was ever a picture that could be described as “Fish Porn,” this one is it. Friend of the shop Joel Hays sent us this LOVELY picture of a Cyprinus Carpio (Common Carp) caught recently on a new fly that Joel has been working diligently on – the Coyote Carp fly. Check out his blog for some more info. It seems that the...
Brent & David in the Seychelles

Massive Louisiana Redfish with SoCo…..
About a week ago, two of our favorite fishing buddies went to Louisiana to chase Bull Reds, and had quite a time. Dr. (he didn’t go to 6 years of evil medical school to be called “Mr.” thank you) Dennis Burns and Bill Seals. Here is the report from Dennis, and a few mind-blowing pictures to boot: Sometimes it’s tempting...
Fly Fish Texas 2009
This past weekend, Tex and I scooted down to Athens for the annual Fly Fish Texas event at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center to give our (in)famous gear seminar. After a small start (5 folks), our class grew to close to 25 or so, but I’m still unsure as to whether they came for us, or to watch the huge aquarium teeming with giant...

Bass on top…
Co worker Corey and I visited a local pond earlier this week to check out some bass fishing. This pond has a reputation for holding bass up to 8 lbs and the common catch is around 3lbs. We strapped the trolling motor to the small boat, grabbed some cold beer, and started to cruise around. For gear, I was using my Scott SAS 5wt/Hatch 5...

We will be hosting this event at Tailwaters Fly Fishing Company in Dallas. Also part of the program is the viewing of the trailer for Eastern Rises, a new high definition film by Felt Soul...
SLP = Straight Line Path
That acronym is the mantra of anyone attempting to become a Certified Casting Instructor (CCI) with the Federation of Fly Fishers. It relates to the path of the tip of the rod during the casting stroke – no SLP, no tight loops. This past weekend, Tex Moore and I headed to the Hawk Ridge Fly Casting School for a weekend clinic to prep us...
My Chile Travel Journal
Chile 2009! Day 0: I’m at the airport preparing myself for the 10 hour plane ride to Santiago…I intentionally stayed up late last night so I could hopefully sleep on the plane.I get to my seat and find out I’m in a bulkhead row and my seat doesn’t recline (Bummer)…..However, I quickly realize that the only 2 vacant seats on the entire plane...
Las Colinas Brown Trout*
*and by “Brown Trout” I do not mean Salmo Trutta, sorry folks! What I did manage was to take a few minutes at an undisclosed location in Las Colinas on my day off this past Thursday, and this was the prize I came away with: Notice the wonderful scenery in the background. Truly a marvelous place to fish! But hey, you work with what...
Finally! Trout Fishing!! Part 1
After a long, trout-sparse January filled only with reports from Brent Boone about the amazing fishing I was missing in Chile, I couldn’t take it anymore. I needed to a quality weekend outside of the Metroplex, and finally, it happened! My partners in crime on this adventure to the Ozarks were Matt Jones (master of the DSLR) and my good...
Heeeeeee’s Back!
Brent has returned to us from the wilds of South America, so we will have him make a full, overview-style report on his amazing trip to Chile! Guest appearances by the Spring Valley Angler boys should also add an interesting flavor to the overall story! Check back soon!...
Carp Chasin’ in Fort Worth
Sunday I managed to sneak away from Dallas to fish in the quiet glory of South Fort Worth, to hunt for the Golden Bonefish. With me in this adventure were Matt Jones of Tailwaters and photography fame, and Carp guide extraordinaire Joel Hays. The conditions could not be more perfect – light breezes (if any), the sun high in the sky with...
More Great Times in Chile!
Hola Amigos! Cuarta poste de Chile Our guests arrived safely in Balmaceda on Saturday..only one delayed bag, which made it by that evening. After a wonderful dinner and a good night sleep everyone was ready for a big day of fishing. My fishing partner this week will be my best friend: my Father, Don Boone. We’ve fished together on many...
More Chile Photos
Due to some techincal difficulties, Brent has been unable to update the blog with some fresh posts – we will put them up as soon as they emerge from the ether that is Cyberspace. For now, we do have some fresh photos! Enjoy! ...
Chile Update #2 from Brent!
Hola Amigos! Sorry for the delayed posts, but you can’t believe where I’ve been the past few days. I have been in the wildest country on the planet, and experienced true Patagonia! I’ve been eating lamb with the locals, drinking yerba matte, and watched a 60-year old woman spin her own clothes from lambswool! The country is...
More Revelations on Rods…
From Science Teacher (and carp-guide extrordinaire) Joel Hays: hey Bart – cool stuff! Now, here’s some real chemical geekness . . . Boron has never “taken off” as a sole rod component because of its goofy metalloidal proprties. It’s in the same group as aluminum and shares similar proprties like incredibly high strength-to-weight ratio....
Lessons on “Graphite”
Or, more correctly – carbon fibre (I like the British spelling). This morning I gave a lesson to Dick Murtland, a golf-club guru with Adams Golf, who has done more with the manufacturing carbon fibre and shaft making than anyone I know (or have heard of). First and foremost, our clubs (rods) are NOT made of graphite – graphite is...
Brent Update!
Brent has been incommunicado, but here is what we know: Yesterday he caught one of the largest trout of his life – a 30″ brown. Not sure whether streamer or dry caught, you never know with that place!!! He will have internet connectivity tonight, so hopefully we will have some new photos validating his statement. I know he does not...
First Thoughts on Chile…..
The first report from Brent: Hola mi Amigos!!! I arrived safely in Coyhaique after a 10 hour flight to Santiago and a 2 hour lay over in the busiest airport ever!! Next was the three hour flight to Balmaceda, and when I arrived I knew the wind was blowing because we landed on one wheel and after about 400 yards the other wheel finally...
Sharky Waters
Back in late September, a buddy Jack Branston and I drove down to the Florida Keys in hopes to have a successful two weeks on the water. For the most part, this was a “do it yourself” trip, which was successful in 2007. Looking back at this trip I can say that we failed miserably in the category of catching fish, partly due to...
