If you’re fishing for bonefish somewhere like Hawaii, you’re not going to catch a lot of them. Yes, we all want to get a few hero shots, and that’s OK, as long as you treat the fish well in the process. What’s the best way to let those fish go? Simple – unless you absolutely [...]

Three workshops and a webinar, held by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), are scheduled in early April to discuss if bonefish and tarpon should be catch-and-release only in Florida’s waters.

Just like sculpins don’t attack big rainbow trout, shrimp don’t attack bonefish – when they see a predator they try to get away. Do your best to present your fly at an angle such that when [...]
