Catch Magazine Slideshow: Brian O'Keefe Photos - Lake Mateos / El Salto


In the latest issue of Catch Magazine (released Jan. 1st), Anglers Inn and Angling On The Fly are featured in a slideshow titled "Mexico Bass by Brian O'Keefe". Last month, I had the opportunity to travel and fish with renowned photographer, Brian O'Keefe, at Lake Mateos and Lake El Salto. Brian has the incredible talent to capture the essence of a destination fishing experience. He shot incredible images of the fishing, scenery, lodge, wildlife, and, of course, some jumbo Largemouth Bass! We invite you to check out Catch Magazine to view some of Brian's images. Catch Magazine is a free online publication that truly captures the beautiful and fun side of our great sport of fly fishing.

As a final note, I captured a few images (shown below) of Brian working his craft. I have come to realize those that have the incredible talent to capture still imagery NEVER end up in any photographs!... since they are always behind the lens. Therefore, I took the liberty of capturing a few photos of Brian in his element. And of course, a few candid fun photos too!

Yes, even the "pros" can get a bit disorganized (and tangled!) sometimes...

Beer and bass flies... all the ingredients for a good time at Anglers Inn!
