Back on the Blog "Grid"... South Caicos, Yucatan, Alaska, and, coming next, Amazon...

 The best medicine for the soul... 

To start, I must apologize to all you that have frequently and faithfully followed my blog over the years.  I have been quite absent from posting since the New Year (YES, almost 10 months ago!)  Although my hosted travels continued throughout the year, I was simply challenged by the lack of time and energy because of some unfortunate events in the family (multiple funerals... ugh.)  Anyhow, the family and I are coming out of the "fog" now and, therefore, you will now see frequent and consistent posts from this point forward.  I am back on the GRID!

OK, enough of the personal blab... let's show and tell about fly fishing travel!  Over this past year, I hosted a number of trips to my favorite destinations.  On these trips, I focused much of my time capturing imagery of these favorite destinations.  Over the past years, I learned a great deal about the fine art of photography from the likes of Ken Hanley, Gregg Holland, John Sherman, Brian O'Keefe, Dan Blanton, and many other photographers' work.  From each trip, I created a photo journal that I hope will give each of you the feel (or rather, the BUZZ!) about each destination and all that each has to offer.  Here is a sampling of my favorites photos from each trip and a link to my photo journal from each trip:

And finally, I am in Miami (MIA) now and en route to the Amazon (Manaus, Brazil).  I will be hosting another group for the brutish Peacock Bass!  Check back in a couple of weeks for a complete trip report and photos.  Fish ON!

The target species this coming week... YEAH!
