Atlantic Salmon fishing in Quebec with Andras Outfitters

Yellowstone River oil spill - what the local anglers say

Here is an update from our friend, Dan Vermillion on the spill. "The oil spill is down by Billings so it is 50 miles below the trout water and 70 to 80 miles below where we fish. So, we are lucky. Pretty tough luck for the rancher and the warmwater fishermen on the lower Yellowstone."
Let's hope they clean up quickly and minimize the impact.
Thinking good thoughts their way.

"The time to take the olive is when they pass the tray"

I had the most amazing experience this past month. One of my favorite Florida guides, Kyle Giampolli, called me and said "I think you can get a record in the women's division for Snook if you get down here next week." Normally I would just respond with some lame excuse of working or too busy but something happened. A good friend had recently said to me..."the time to take the olive is when they pass the tray". I decided to ask my incredible husband for his blessing, then asked off from work, and then another amazing thing happened. I asked a few of my favorite fishing friends to help sponsor my trip. And they did..I could not believe it. I was overwhelmed by the support I received from some very generous people. Thank you!

I jumped on a plane from SFO to Ft Meyers, met Kyle, and we were off. He mentioned the big boys (really females) have been showing up in a few of his favorite spots. Over a cold beverage and a few mosquitos, Kyle coached me on my casting approach by laying out boxes on the floor and teaching me how to 'intercept' these monsters. We were focused. There were tarpon around us but we just hunted for the big ones. I needed to land a 14 lb fish on 16 lb test. And we were not far from the 20 lb class either.

I fished two and a half days and caught some nice snook. I hooked a few records but they broke me each time - three times actually UG! I know I will be back though to try again. It was super having a focus and Kyle knew where to find them. Thank you Kyle!
