A Year Fishing The Everglades Special, Half Way Through A Bad Decision
By Paul Pucket FISHING WISE, I HAVE NEVER HAD A YEAR LIKE THIS ONE. I am fishing in places I have never fished and feel very lucky to have the opportunities.

Has anybody had an experience with the Lamson Speedster fly rod?
I'm looking for an 8wt fly rod for largemouth bass, throwing Clousers and poppers... the standard LMB flies so a fast action rod would be good. I was also considering the Echo 84B.

Catching a 10lb+ Bass on a Fly Rod
Some fish turn into goals you measure seasons against. For Kieran Hoffman, the chase for a true double-digit largemouth had followed him for years.
