GET READY FOR GUADELOUPE

Featured in Brian's Slide Show May 1. Where in the heck is Guadeloupe? Many maps don't even go to the trouble to put another dot in the Caribbean, but soon fly anglers will be buzzing about this great shallow water destination. With sensational guide Alexis Ducros (and the only fly guide in Guadeloupe) and long bomb caster Rick Hartman, we hooked all the Super Slam species. Tarpon a plenty and a couple over 100 pounds, a permit estimated to be 20 pounds and shots to two dozen, snook around 10 pounds and bonefish landed to 7 pounds but 10 pounders were spotted. Add extra scrumptious French food to pretty beaches and you are close to understanding the attraction of Guadeloupe. On the way, Brian went to Haiti and walked around a little and his luggage stayed there for 5 days!! Good thing Rick is a mobile tackle shop.

WHEN IN DENVER

The next time you are in the Denver Airport, look for the New Belgium Brewery Hub restaurant and pub. Our good friends at New Belgium make some great beer and the manager is a fly angler who has taken an active role in the NO PEBBLE MINE issue. Cheers!

THE NEWEST MOEN

T.F.M. Spotting - The Newest Moen

Todd Moen, of Catch Magazine, and his wife Kelley welcomed the birth of their daughter, Stella Faye Moen, on the evening of April 14th. Todd sent along an email saying that Kelley had brought his T.F.M. t-shirt in the "go bag" for the hospital. Points for Kelley on her careful packing.

KIND WORDS FROM SURFCASTERS JOURNAL

Our friends at www.surfcastersjournal.com, a very handsome magazine for east coast surfcasters, put a very thoughtful and complementary post on their blog about Catch Magazine. They too, have stunning photography, plus articles and art and they catch big fish! Maybe we will venture back there with our short, wimpy fly rods and give it a go for Catch Magazine.
