Thanks. I enjoy making them. Sorry to hear about your fishing luck. I don't mean to preach, but taking up fly fishing will force you shallower and clearer until all you do is sight cast. You will know the LLM like a hand full of people know her. You will be surprised how good the fishing is when you're a mile from the closest boat, in less than a foot of water. Thanks for posting a comment -- Scott Sparrow

I'm really looking forward to the shallower water. So I can experience something new, and get back to my wading roots. I got my start in fishing wading for years with my dad when I was a kid over by the convention center before the jet skis showed up and the fishing was still good. It was rare we didn't come back home with at least a couple trout. Once I'm decent enough at controling my fly rod and such I'll book a trip with you. -Carlos

Love your videos. I hope to get into Fly fishing sometime next year. The more technical/sight fishing aspect of it really intrigues me. This year has been real tough for me in the LLM as for most regular weekend fishermen I've talked to. Abnormally poor fishing, at least for us who do mostly blind casting. I haven't taken home any fish this year, besides some snappers over at the Port Isabel swing bridge. Thanks for the videos.
