Getting your ass handed to you
Every so often we all have days on the water that are, well, potentially embarrassing and most certainly humbling. If it all goes to shit, and it often can, your ego will take a bit of a beating, the sting of which may last well into a post fishing cocktail or two. I was fishing the Henrys Fork two weeks ago and ran up against one of the meanest, nastiest and most spectacular pieces of water I’ve ever fished: the extraordinary Ranch Section of the Henry’s Fork.
Fishing From Global Live Aboard Operations
I have been a huge fan of live aboard fishing trip operations for a long time. From a purely angling perspective, there are just so many positive attributes to doing a Mothership based fishing trip. Unlike, many years ago, when these operations were generally pretty basic and rough, it was a given that if you wanted to do a live aboard week, that you would likely be compromising on quality of food and accommodations; today’s modern live aboards pretty much have all the creature comforts that traveling anglers have come to expect.

Without question my favorite trip of the year and usually half filled with repeat guests who have done this trip multiple times.
