People are always asking what size rod and reel combo for what type of fish.

I found this #3 weight might be a little light for a 6 to 7 lb Blue Fish. But very exciting!

What does a Guide do in the off Season?
Well if he has friends in the Lake Tahoe area and he can teach skiing he heads out there and spends some time Teaching at Heavenly. With some of the best Pros I've ever met.
 
 
Well the winter is over and it's time to start thinking about the rivers and streams. The Mass. Wildlife Dept has been busy stocking the waters with fish and we are gearing up for what we hope will be a EPIC season.
Thank you all for last Season, we are looking forward to 2007
Thank you

LOOK CLOSE It's not that I took a bad Photo, There was that much winged activity on the Deerfield in the evening, howevere the river was two hours late in going down. But as soon as it did the fish started popping like popcorn. We got a Brookie and a Bow in 40 minutes.
 
Saturday, September 16, 2006
 

Joe here is a nymph maniac if he doesn’t see a fish rising he’s on the bottom doing what he does best. This fish was so hungry he was trying to eat the net.

The Tuna have avoided me for another year, but the Stripers and Blues were a lot of fun as you can see in these Photos.

Welcome to spring in the Berkshires, 70 and sunny today 35 and rain tomorrow.
Thanks to nature and the MA Wildlife Dept. The Fishing is more even keel. MA Wildlife Dept. has done a GREAT job of restocking the Lakes, ponds,rivers and brooks of the state.
We are ready to experience a productive year. Warm winter and early ice out says we are in for a good fishing and maybe even a good catching year. Keep your line tight and your fly wet.
More report when I get back from the River.
