Thought I might explain how I got my nickname/Moniker of "Flyjunkie".. first off, it has Nothing to do with me being a Pilot or liking Military Aircraft, nothing whatsoever to do with that. It's because I am a Flyfishing Fool. I have flyfished for almost 40 years now.. and actually make my living in the Flyfishing world. part of my "job" is to go out and pitch flies to fish as often as possible- usually once a week if not more...
I thought folks here might like to see pictures of me doing what i do best.. catch fish on flies...
Westlake Bass ~ Westlake is a private lake community nearby. i have access to a mini Bass Boat and am able to go out a number of times each year and flyfish for largemouth bass.. it is really a great deal of Fun.
a Baja "Dorado".. also know as Mahi Mahi.. these are one of my favorite fish to catch, they are soo colorful and they come well to the fly. and boy oh boy do Dorado fight !!! Baja/the Sea of Cortez is a personal favorite place to fly to and go fishing...
Your Humble Narrator tight into a serious Dorado.. !!
Carp in the Los Angeles river, near Downtown L.A. yes one can fish within sight of Downtown Los Angeles.. We have this pretty cool Carp fishery.. and a good number of us Anglers choose to enjoy local time catching Carp on the fly.: they are selective, hard to get to eat a fly and very strong and determined Fighters..what else do you want when you go fishing???
I will flyfish for anything that i can get to eat a fly. I love Trout, but have caught well over 90 different fish species on a fly.. so far. It's all about relaxing, escaping the Rat race and just enjoying quality time...
Enjoy...
