It has been a great summer of tarpon fishing. There has been lots of fish around and they have been very willing to eat. Most of these fish are in the 30-60lb class. A perfect size fish for the fly rod and light tackle. The fishing should only continue to get better as we move…
It has been a while since my last report, so I wanted to catch up and let everyone know what is going on in the Everglades right now. This summer has been excellent for tarpon and snook. There has been plenty of tarpon hanging around from the Gulf, to the deep back country. They…
For the past two years, projects that focus on restoring Everglades have been continuous. There have been great improvements in these projects, but where exactly are they in terms of completion? Are there factors that hinder a speedy development of these projects? These questions call for an assessment and evaluation of projects that seek to…
