• British Colombia Steelhead Fishing

  The largest steelhead in the world are found in the Skeena River and her tributaries. 10 and 15 pound fish are common, with 20 pound fish a reasonable expectation.

Got Marlin?

Nowhere is the Marlin fishing so exciting as on the Zane Gray Reef, and nowhere is the hospitality better than Tropic Star Lodge. I should add that I can’t imagine a more child friendly environment than TSL. My 10 year old daughter, Annie, and Hep each caught their first Pacific Sailfish

Valley Forge Fishing Report

September 22nd 2007

Today I fished with Annie Hepburn. Despite being only seven years old, Annie is a very accomplished fisherman, having had great success with weakfish & flounder, in New Jersey waters, and various species, fishing the Florida Keys. In fresh water, trout are her main pursuit, and she is an accomplished flycaster when the sunfish are biting.
