As good as the fishing is in Louisiana, it's just as good off Mississippi...

Clouser's Deep Minnow
Some might say its ironic that the Clouser Minnow generally accepted as the most universal saltwater fly available today was first tied as an attempt to catch smallmouth bass in the Susquehanna River back in 185.

Fish Facts: Striped Bass
Most people probably associate striped bass with cold New England waters, but the truth of the matter is that these fish are found throughout much of the coastal U.S. from Maine right around to Oregon.
Best Bets
New England - Mid-May to July and September and October consistently produce the biggest fish in this area. Large attractor patterns work better the imitators on sluggish fish.
202 Pound Tarpon on Fly Rod
The Holy Grail of tarpon fishing may have been captured and Jim Holland Jr., fishing out of Homosassa, was apparently the lucky angler. After a two hour fight the fish was reported to tape out at 84 inches long and 47 inches in girth with a estimated weight of 204 pounds. Reportedly the fish weighed in at 202 pounds and is a pending 20-pound tippet record. The fish was caught while blind casting near Hammer's Rock in deep water and dragged the boat about 3 miles.

Blanton's Sar-Mul-Mac
Dan Blanton's classic baitfish imitation fly has changed very little since it was created in 1971 - nor has it needed to.
Tying On The Cutting Edge
