A good friends son has wanted to fly fish for a long time. He’s loves to fish but has never used a fly rod. Last weekend, while I was out paddling I noticed a large Hex hatch that had the bream feeding like crazy. I called my friend and we made plans to fish that…

The weather hasn’t been cooperative here lately. Lots of rain and windy days have made sight fishing difficult, if not impossible. But last week the weather got awesome for a few days and the fishing was on fire. The rain and cloudy days cooled the water on the flats and the grass carp were tailing…

Fishing from the Jackson Mayfly is not a challenge but an adventure. Some days I just take the Mayfly out for just a standard fishing trip with a spinning rod or a bait caster for either a saltwater species or a freshwater species. When I decide the adventure will be fly fishing; I will attempt…

Those that like to fly fish will understand the addiction to sight fishing. It’s the hunt that we love. There’s something exciting about sneaking around in a kayak and waiting until you’ve located your target before making a presentation. Sometimes you only get one shot…better make it count.

JK Media House takes the Mayfly to artist and fly fisherman, Eric Estrada for peacock bass. Turns into an incredible day on the water! Check out the mayfly in the hands of one of the best!

The Jackson Mayfly I tried not to read many reviews a I wanted to come to my own conclusions of this new kayak on my own. My first thoughts on the Mayfly was how sleek and sexy the lines were. With the smooth snag free deck and a width of 35 inches this kayak was designed…

So what does a poor pro-staffer do while waiting for the last month and half (grrr) for the waters to become fishable on his home river? You can only rearrange tackle boxes and bags so many times, and clean, lube, and restring the main reels until the child-bride starts asking what’s bothering you and do…

A few years ago I had an invitation to meet with a group local to Pittsburgh called Tri-County Trout- this was one of my first speaking engagements. I jumped at the chance and I was really glad that I did because it was a great learning experience. This is me back in 2014, a guy…
