Ross F1 Reel Review

Back in September we ran an introductory post with information about Ross’s new F1 reel – with video straight from the show floor at IFTD.  Brad Befus gave us all kinds of detail about the design of the F1, and that was awesome…but last month we got to fish one on the flats of South [...]

World's Best Bass Lakes Revisited

Cruising around EarthSports.com today, I read a fun article titled "World's Best Largemouth Lakes"   It immediately got me thinking about a list I created of my top destination lakes for bass that I wrote back in 2006.

There are definitely some similarities in the lists.  I definitely have some smallmouth destinations on my list , which don't fit their list all that well.  I also have some Mexican lakes on my list, which I find interesting that they don't.  I think, America's best bass lakes would be a better label for the article I read, as no Mexican Lakes on list, also Lake Biwa in Japan is not on the list and currently has the World Record Largemouth.  Still a good list either way.  I would also probably put Diamond Valley or Dixon Lakes on the list over Castaic or Casitas these days.

Reviewing my list, I noticed I only included Florida Lakes in my honorable mention, probably because they were not that hot when I wrote my piece and if I didn't have some smallmouth destinations, I probably would have had more room for those Sunshine State destinations.  After watching the latest FLW tournament on Lake Okeechobee , it would be really hard to argue not putting that lake right near the top of the list for American's Best Bass Lakes!

Also, asked myself, what would i change or add to my list?  I would definitely add some Texas lakes, like Falcon, O.H. Ivie & Choke Canyon.  Lake Comedero in Mexico would be moving up.  I would specifically add Sturgeon Bay & Buffalo to my Great Lakes hit list.  And I am not taking any off, what fun would that be?

So what are your favorite lakes that are not on these lists?  What are we missing?  Any that don't belong?

Chrome Strikes for Adam and Damon

Last week on Thursday the 17th, two of our "fishaholic" awesome customers Adam and Damon went out on a guided trip with Jad, and they both struck CHROME. They both had been talking about this trip, and how they would have both love to lock into a chromer. Well, their wishes came true! The river offered them both a landed chrome prize, and they also had another couple on; so it was a great day out on the water.

The action has been pretty good on the area rivers, with some days of good catch and hookup numbers; while other days you are wishing for a tug. That is steelheading though...Luckily, when you do rope into a fish; it'll be a glorious chrome bright fish with a thumb sized adipose fin on it. That or you may be lucky, and you may get tight to an early summer run fish. They are also started to trickle in to the systems that have the early runs.

Time is running out for the winter steelhead fishing. If you are interested in booking a trip for winter steelhead, or any of our other types of fly fishing, call us at (503)-639-6400 or email us at travel@kman.com.

A bloody great hole in my foot!

So just after I had sent my waders for a full hole repair job to Diver Dave I then spent a few nervous trips thinking I had a leak – turned out it was just the cold and not creeping water in my nether regions.

Anyway, last time I was out I noticed a [...]
