Slovenia Split trip
We had a great trip back to Slovenia in June. The trip started out when we flew into Venice Italy (is there a better gateway city to start a trip from?) before driving the 3 hours into Slovenia and the small village of Kobarid. Kobarid is not much in the way of towns but it has some very good restaurants and bars and that’s all you really need when fishing in this part of the country.
Fly Fishing Spain
I was back in Spain of my annual hosted trip to the Pyrenees Mountains and while the water levels were extremely high for early July, we made the best of it and some lovely fish were landed.

The food and wine are excellent and I just love the diversity of species and environments that the Pyrenees offers anglers.
Running with the Bulls Pamplona Spain

This group stayed for 4 days of great meals, excellent wines, numerous late-night cocktail parties and of course, the bull runs at 8 am each morning and the bullfights at 6:30 pm each evening.
Cayo Cruz, Cuba – November 2013
Just got home from another trip to Cayo Cruz, which has fast become my favorite permit destination to fish. I had a group of 10 guests from Norway and 3 guests from Western Canada along for the trip. We had some horrific weather during the week, which played havoc on the fishing. Day 2, 3 and 4 were very difficult to fish, with strong winds, overcast skies and milky water. As the bad weather progressed, more and more bottles of rum where making their way on the flats skiffs to fortify guests from the cold rain and hard winds. Day 3 in particular was about as bad as I have ever seen. The system
